																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>On July 09, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn — marking another step forward in foldable innovation. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The Galaxy Z Flip7 raises the bar for flip-style smartphones, combining a compact, pocketable design with intuitive AI experiences and the largest cover screen in the Galaxy Z Flip series to date. Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Flip7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-23081 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752830725587.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><strong>Design: Larger Window in a Slimmer Frame</strong></span></p>
<p><span>The Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces the Galaxy Z Flip series’ largest cover screen and its slimmest design yet. The standout 4.1-inch FlexWindow features ultra-thin 1.25-millimeter bezels, allowing the display to span nearly the entire cover — excluding the camera lens, for an expanded viewing experience. Everyday tasks such as checking schedules, replying to messages or using AI-powered features can be done without unfolding the device.</span><span> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23082" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23082 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/002-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752830832687.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Ultra-thin bezels allow the FlexWindow to stretch from edge to edge.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>When opened, a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display is revealed. Both the FlexWindow and main display support up to 2,600 nits of brightness, a 120-hertz refresh rate and Vision Booster technology for improved outdoor visibility — delivering clear, vivid content anytime, anywhere.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_23083" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23083 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/003-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752830912587.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ A larger main display delivers sharper visuals.</p></div>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Measuring 6.5 millimetres when unfolded, 13.7 millimetres when folded and weighing 188 grams, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest yet — refining the compactness and portability that define the Galaxy Z Flip series.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_23084" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23084 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/004-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752831017274.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Z Flip7 is 6.5 millimetres thick when unfolded, shown next to a pen for scale.</p></div>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> A durable Armor Aluminum frame and a thinner, reinforced Armor FlexHinge improve resilience while maintaining the device’s sleek silhouette.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_23087" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23087 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/005-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752831347712.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Armor FlexHinge provides smooth, reliable folding over extended use.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Inside, a 4, 300 mAh battery — the largest ever in the Galaxy Z Flip series — supports up to 31 hours of video playback for extended use with less worry about charging.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<h3><span><strong>Multi-modal AI and One UI 8: Ready-to-Go Personal Assistant</strong></span></h3>
<p><span>In today’s fast-paced world, relying on AI has become second nature. The Galaxy Z Flip7 takes those interactions further — offering a more intuitive, seamless experience through One UI 8, optimised for the expanded FlexWindow and advanced multimodal AI technology.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>For example, users planning a trip can check their schedule directly from the FlexWindow through Now Brief.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23095" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/006-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752832786789.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="537" /></span></p>
<div id="attachment_23096" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23096 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/007-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752832749238.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="537" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The FlexWindow displays information such as schedules via Now Brief.</p></div>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Long pressing the power button launches Google’s Gemini Live, offering travel-ready help including restaurant recommendations, weather updates and outfit suggestions using the camera.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_23097" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23097 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/008-Galaxy-Unpacked-2025-A-First-Look-at-the-Galaxy-Z-Flip7-Refining-the-Pocketable-Foldable-Newsbody-e1752832878763.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="567" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Gemini Live supports camera screen sharing for real-time assistance.</p></div>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The Galaxy Z Flip7 moves beyond design innovation, offering an AI experience that fits naturally into everyday routines. With its pocket-friendly size and built-for-anywhere features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 elevates the standard for foldables.</span></p>

<p>That’s why Galaxy’s next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering to elevate everyday interactions.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once revolutionary in the mobile landscape, flip phones are now an integral part of our daily lives. From their early inception to modern iterations like the Galaxy Z Flip series, these iconic devices have transformed how we communicate, interact and express ourselves. Over the years, the Galaxy Z Flip has evolved from a compact communication device to the ultimate tool for unleashing your creativity — empowering users to unfold a world of possibilities with a simple flip. Samsung Newsroom sat down to detail the journey of how this groundbreaking series pioneered a new era of mobile innovation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="200" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2-1-768x154.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /> <img class="alignnone wp-image-17684" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/3-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>Following the ground-breaking launch of the Galaxy Z Fold, which has taken the mobile landscape by storm, Samsung unveiled yet another revolutionary form factor that took the mobile market by storm. Introducing the Galaxy Z Flip: a device that folded effortlessly in half and could stand upright on its own.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17685" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/4-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung revolutionised user interaction by introducing Hideaway Hinge. Much like a laptop, the hinge allowed users to open and position their phones at any angle. Users could securely fold, angle and position their devices, saying goodbye to shaky hands and hello to picture-perfect shots — whether they were snapping a hands-free selfie or capturing a moment with friends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17686" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/5-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, Samsung released Flex mode, which automatically divided the screen into two when the device was folded. By collaborating with various partners, Samsung optimised this cutting-edge interface and enhanced usability. For example, in the camera app, users could preview the viewfinder on the top while adjusting the camera modes or lenses on the bottom. In addition, the phone supported Multi Window, enabling multitasking by simultaneously displaying different content on each screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17687" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="200" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6-1-768x154.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17688" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Continuing the legacy of the Galaxy Z Flip, the debut of the Galaxy Z Flip3 took the series’ design and performance to new heights. The expanded Cover Screen was one of the phone’s most notable upgrades, now four times larger than its predecessor. Going beyond its traditional role of displaying the time and date, the device’s Cover Screen was maximised for both self-expression and productivity. Users could unlock their creativity by customising their Cover Screen with images or GIFs and conveniently view up to eight lines of notifications and messages. What’s more, Samsung Pay transformed Cover Screens into wallets — helping users make payments in one simple step.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17689" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/8-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip3 also boasted a variety of camera features that elevated the user’s photography experience to capture and share moments hands-free through Flex mode. With the addition of Auto Framing, the camera detected the location and number of people or objects within the frame and automatically adjusted the format accordingly for photos and videos. Suppose a photographer and the subject of a photo wanted to view the preview of a shot at the same time. In that case, all the user needed to do was tap the Dual Preview button at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Furthermore, users never missed a shot while striking a pose with the enhanced Quick Shot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17690" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/9-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/9-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/9-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/9-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not only could the Galaxy Z Flip3 fit nearly anywhere, but it also offered improved<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> durability and water resistance<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. The lightweight exterior was crafted from Armor Aluminum, the strongest material used in Galaxy devices to date, and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®, safeguarding users’ smartphones for any condition. A new protective film placed on the main display improved durability by 80% compared to the previous generation.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17691" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/10-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="200" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/10-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/10-1-768x154.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17692" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/11-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/11-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/11-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/11-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2022, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Flip4, complete with a host of practical features that effortlessly fit into daily routines. For instance, users could experience the convenience of the Flex mode panel<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> which opened a touchpad that supports a range of gestures at the bottom of their screen. Similar to the cursor of a computer mouse, users could easily control various elements with a swipe of their finger — pausing, rewinding or playing videos without picking up the device. Another feature that increased productivity was the swipe gesture, optimised for multitasking. For example, if users swiped up with two fingers, the screen split into a top and bottom half to open a new app. With the swipe gesture, Galaxy made frequently used features, such as zooming in and out or turning pages, even faster and more convenient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17693" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/12.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/12.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/12-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/12-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip4 also gave users more control than ever over their pictures. By simply pressing the side button twice, users embraced the Galaxy Z Flip4’s Quick Shot feature to capture moments and selfies without opening their phones. Now, they could even start a video on Quick Shot and easily transition to FlexCam without any interruptions. To capture the starry night sky, users could experience the all-new Nightography mode to take out-of-this-world shots, even in the dark — for bright, sharp photos with less image noise</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17694" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/13-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/13-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/13-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/13-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip4 effortlessly blended high-performance capabilities with a personalised touch, truly reflecting its owner’s style. When the Bespoke Edition launched, there were new opportunities to express individuality — users could choose from a combination of five glass colours, including Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki and Red, and three frame colour options, including Silver, Gold and Black. Users could also enjoy the Galaxy Z Flip4 for even longer than the previous generation, thanks to its 400mAh larger battery<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Flip5, delivering the most stylish, unique foldable experience yet. Built for self-expression and complete with an innovative design and customisable functions, the prominent feature is the upgraded Flex Window that is 3.78 times larger than its predecessor’s Cover Screen.</p>
<p><em><span> </span></em></p>
<p><em><span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17697" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/16-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/16-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/16-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/16-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to the larger screen<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a>, the Galaxy Z Flip5 offers more usability than ever before. With Flex Window, users can easily check and control Widgets, including the weather, stock market and music, without ever unfolding their phones. To see all Widgets at a glance, simply pinch the screen to activate the Multi Widget View function. The wider Cover Screen and fully accessible QWERTY keyboard make checking and responding to phone calls and messages even easier.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17698" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/17-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/17-1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/17-1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/17-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Flex Window provides the most versatile camera experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone to date. To snap a selfie with the rear camera, users can conveniently check their smile on the Flex Window before capturing stunning, hands-free photos from creative angles before correcting the colour and tone. The camera-stabilising Super Steady feature also ensures that users take smooth shots on the go. With improved Nightography capabilities to optimise photos in low lighting and digital 10X zoom, users can unleash their creativity anywhere, anytime and at any angle.</p>
<p><em><span> </span></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, there are even more ways to customise your Galaxy Z Flip5 inside and out. For instance, the new Flipsuit Case<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> is equipped with a changeable NFC card, called Flipsuit Card so users can coordinate their Flex Window design and case design for even more personalisation options.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>With an innovative form factor enhanced by new Flex Hinge for a balanced design, and pro-grade camera capabilities with unique FlexCam, Galaxy Z series delivers great foldable experiences</em></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/UNPK_B5Q5-PR_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="707" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced its fifth generation of Galaxy foldables: Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5. The exceptional form factors offer unique experiences for every user with sleek and compact designs, countless customisation options, and powerful performance. The new Flex Hinge makes the foldable experience possible, while offering an aesthetically balanced and solid design. These incredible foldable devices unlock extraordinary camera capabilities such as FlexCam to take photos from creative angles. With strong performance and an optimised battery powered by the latest processor, the Samsung Galaxy Z series transforms what is possible with a smartphone – open or closed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung is revolutionising the mobile industry with foldables by setting the standard and continually refining the experience,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Every day, more people choose our foldables because they offer an experience people want that they can’t get on any other device. Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are the latest devices that prove our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers through innovative technology.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s heritage of innovation and dedication to the foldables category has created incredibly versatile devices available. With a strong belief in the potential of the foldable format, paired with superb R&amp;D and manufacturing capabilities, Samsung has consistently refined and optimised the Galaxy Z series lineup. From content creation on Galaxy Z Flip5’s new Flex Window<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[i]</span></a> to seamless multitasking on Galaxy Z Fold5, this series of Galaxy foldables meets and exceeds the distinctive needs of today’s users.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, both Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 are carefully designed to meet durability expectations. The main screen is equipped with a shock dispersion layer and a redesigned back for a more solid display<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span>[ii]</span></a>. Along with IPX8<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span>[iii]</span></a> support, Armor Aluminum frames, and Corning<sup>®</sup> Gorilla<sup>®</sup> Glass Victus<sup>® </sup>2<a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4"><span>[iv]</span></a> applied to both the Flex Window and back cover, Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5 provide the protection consumers expect, enhanced further by Flex Hinge. This new integrated hinge module features a dual rail structure, diffusing external impacts.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy Z Flip5: The ultimate pocketable self-expression tool without compromise</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/UNPK_B5Q5-PR_main2.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip5 delivers a stylish, unique foldable experience from a pocket-sized device built for self-expression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Flex Window, now 3.78 times larger<a href="#_edn5" name="_ednref5">[v]</a> than the previous generation, offers a wide range of existing and new capabilities. It provides more customisation options, including informative and graphical clocks that can match the face design of a user’s Galaxy Watch6 series<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6">[vi]</a>, as well as stylish frames. In addition, Galaxy Z Flip5’s new Flipsuit Case<a href="#_edn7" name="_ednref7">[vii]</a> provides device protection with a changeable NFC card, so users can match their Flex Window design and case design for even more personalisation options.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Closed, the Galaxy Z Flip5 offers more usability than ever before. From the Flex Window, quickly and effortlessly access useful information. With Widgets, users can check the weather, control music playback and listen to their favorite music with Media Controller<a href="#_edn8" name="_ednref8">[viii]</a>, or catch up on the latest global stock market updates with the Google Finance widget. Simply view all Widgets at a glance and switch between them instantly with a pinch of the screen to activate Multi Widget View. Plus, easily check notifications and access Quick Settings for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Without ever opening the device, browse through call history to return missed calls, and reply to texts on-the-go using Quick Reply with a full QWERTY keyboard and visibility of chat history. With a quick swipe up on the screen, access Samsung Wallet<a href="#_edn9" name="_ednref9">[ix]</a>to pay on-the-go, access QR codes and coupons, as well as boarding passes, membership cards, digital keys and health passes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its unparalleled design and form factor, Galaxy Z Flip5 also offers the most versatile camera experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Take high-quality selfies with the rear camera thanks to the larger Flex Window. Users can capture stunning hands-free photos from creative angles with FlexCam. It’s quick and simple to view and edit shots in Flex Mode<a href="#_edn10" name="_ednref10">[x]</a> too. Users can review, adjust the colour tone, or delete images easily with the Quick View in the Flex Window.  When taking a photo of a friend, Dual Preview<a href="#_edn11" name="_ednref11">[xi]</a> lets them see themselves in the Flex Window so they can make adjustments in real time for the perfect shot. Users can get a smooth shot on the go with camera-stabilising Super Steady, while Auto Framing<a href="#_edn12" name="_ednref12">[xii]</a> ensures that no one is left out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip5 adds AI solution improvements to the powerful camera experience, bringing every photo to life. Get creative, even in low light, with improved Nightography capabilities that optimise photos and videos in ambient lighting conditions. The AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm corrects any visual noise that typically spoils low-light images while enhancing details and colour tone. Even from a distance, photos are clearer with the digital 10X zoom<a href="#_edn13" name="_ednref13">[xiii]</a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Galaxy Z Fold5: The ultimate productivity powerhouse with a large screen</strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/UNPK_B5Q5-PR_main3.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Offering an immersive, large screen and a long-lasting battery<a href="#_edn14" name="_ednref14">[xiv]</a> in the thinnest, lightest Fold yet<a href="#_edn15" name="_ednref15">[xv]</a>, Galaxy Z Fold5 is easy to take anywhere, while delivering the most powerful performance in the Galaxy Z series.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold has been a pioneer in transforming everyday productivity through a robust, big screen experience, evolving from Multi Window<a href="#_edn16" name="_ednref16">[xvi]</a> and App Continuity<a href="#_edn17" name="_ednref17">[xvii]</a> to a wide range of features including Taskbar<a href="#_edn18" name="_ednref18">[xviii]</a>, drag and drop, and optimisation of third-party apps. S Pen Fold Edition<a href="#_edn19" name="_ednref19">[xix]</a> introduced in the third generation Fold in 2021, has also been fine-tuned to deliver a superior writing experience on Galaxy Z Fold5. These features and tools come together to deliver powerful productivity on a large screen and enable users to complete important tasks from anywhere.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The improved Taskbar enables dynamic productivity by allowing users to quickly switch between frequently used apps. Now up to four recent apps are at the ready for more efficient working. Newly enhanced two-handed drag and drop<a href="#_edn20" name="_ednref20">[xx]</a> can also ramp up productivity when moving content between apps and screens. Simply touch and hold an image in Samsung Gallery with one finger and use another finger to open the Samsung Notes app to drag-and-drop the image. With hidden pop-up<a href="#_edn21" name="_ednref21">[xxi]</a>, an app can continue running in the background, allowing users to watch video content in full screen and chat with friends in a floating pop-up on the side of the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new slimmer<a href="#_edn22" name="_ednref22">[xxii]</a> and more compact S Pen Fold Edition<a href="#_edn23" name="_ednref23">[xxiii]</a> makes real-time annotating and ideation easy while being able to fit more comfortably in the pocket. The Slim S Pen Case<a href="#_edn24" name="_ednref24">[xxiv]</a> is nearly the same thickness<a href="#_edn25" name="_ednref25">[xxv]</a> as a regular case for the Fold and available in a variety of styles and colours<a href="#_edn26" name="_ednref26">[xxvi]</a> so users can carry their S Pens in style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Helping users do more on the go, the 7.6-inch Main Screen<a href="#_edn27" name="_ednref27">[xxvii]</a> provides expansive and uninterrupted viewing so users can enjoy their favorite movie in portrait or landscape. Plus, peak brightness has increased by more than 30%, up to 1750 nits<a href="#_edn28" name="_ednref28">[xxviii]</a>, for an optimal viewing experience outdoors even under bright sunlight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Providing users with an immersive gaming experience on the largest Galaxy smartphone screen, the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="#_edn29" name="_ednref29">[xxix]</a> enhances graphics and uses AI to enable dynamic gaming and multi-game functionality. The Galaxy Z Fold5 can comfortably handle marathon gaming sessions with its advanced cooling system that dissipates heat more intelligently for less lag and no drop in performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Delivering a positive impact for the planet</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung continue to demonstrate progress toward the company’s environmental vision and accelerate actions that help achieve its goals, including reaching net zero carbon emissions by the end of 2030 for the Device eXperience Division.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17122" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/TM-Roh2.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="410" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last year, I expanded my responsibilities as head of Samsung’s MX Business, to lead our Corporate Design Center. My career as an engineer taught me that the most sublime designs are intertwined with technological innovation. This new responsibility allows me to delve deeper into how the synergy of design, engineering, and R&amp;D can yield transformative experiences. With my fellow designers, I’ve embarked on a deep exploration of Samsung’s design strategy to understand our roots and envision our growth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Different Times, Unchanged Commitment</strong></h3>
<p>In 1996, Samsung committed to a philosophy: “Inspired by Humans, Creating the Future.” It means our creations are conceived with a deep understanding of you, the user, and we hold an unwavering belief that a user-centric approach is the key to the future.</p>
<p>We feel this even more keenly nearly 30 years on, as we contemplate the fluid nature of human interaction. Users value experiences over mere achievements and meaningful connections over raw technological prowess. We have distilled the Samsung design philosophy into three Design Identities, each one with you at the center: our products must be Essential, Innovative, and Harmonious.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Essential design prioritizes clarity of purpose and ease of daily use. Innovative design emphasizes originality, reflecting purpose in a new and distinct ways. Harmonious design ensures all elements work together for a holistic purpose, aligning with societal, environmental and ethical values.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Inspired by Humans, Creating the Future</strong></h3>
<p>These three Design Identities are exemplified by our latest hardware and software ecosystem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take, for instance, the act of folding and unfolding a smartphone. It seems simple. However, that simplicity users feel is only achieved through a rigorous focus on what is most essential and intuitive. The minimal, sleek appearance housing specialized hinge functionality emphasizes our commitment and the inherent beauty of essential design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We’ve raised the standards for foldable smartphone ergonomics. A difference of millimeter in a device’s thickness may not sound like a big change, but every gram and millimeter in a foldable device requires an engineering breakthrough. It demands craftsmanship with passion. When done well, the benefit to users is huge. That’s why we’ve innovated to make our latest foldables slimmer and lighter than our previous generations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Galaxy foldable is completed by its users, with its personalized experience. With our Galaxy foldables, your self-expression reaches new levels with, literally, the most flexible camera experience in Samsung Galaxy. You can capture the perfect angle, hands-free. The enhanced multitasking experience like a PC also raises the bar for productivity. You can work, collaborate, or game on-the-go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Galaxy Tab and Wearables are designed in the same spirit. They work with each other harmoniously in an ecosystem that opens up a powerful connected experience, serving as a seamless extension of your needs, priorities and unique personality.</p>
<p>Whatever the Samsung Galaxy experience is, when we say, “Inspired by Humans,” we don’t just mean people. We also mean their communities, their environment and their planet. Samsung Galaxy devices are designed with sustainability for the future in mind, because even the smallest actions could contribute to a large impact – such as protecting our planet. When we say, “Creating the Future,” that includes our responsibility today to ensure a sustainable tomorrow for the future generation.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Our Shared Journey to a Better Tomorrow</strong></h3>
<p>When design comes together with technological innovation, it brings forth new possibilities. With innovative technologies, people can make the most of today and ultimately create the best possible tomorrow. We invite you to join us at Unpacked, where we’ll pull back the curtain on our latest devices and experiences — inspired by you, created for you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a way, they were nearly 30 years in the making, a culmination of decades of human-inspired design. But this is also just the beginning. Seeing the ways our innovations blend into your lives, enabling new possibilities for creativity, productivity or self-expression, will inspire the next steps of our journey. So, let’s navigate this journey together, harnessing design and technology to create a future that truly reflects you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mark your calendars for July 26!</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15581" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/050_ecosystem_galaxy_zfold4_graygreen_spen_watch5_sapphire_buds2pro_graphite_Samsung-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/050_ecosystem_galaxy_zfold4_graygreen_spen_watch5_sapphire_buds2pro_graphite_Samsung-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/050_ecosystem_galaxy_zfold4_graygreen_spen_watch5_sapphire_buds2pro_graphite_Samsung-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/050_ecosystem_galaxy_zfold4_graygreen_spen_watch5_sapphire_buds2pro_graphite_Samsung-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Do More with Your Smartphone’s Lighter Weight and Wider Display</h3>
<p>It’s gotten smaller but wider — Galaxy Z Fold4 is still as compact as ever, with its even lighter weight and thinner hinge and bezels. When you unfold your phone, the device’s even wider display delivers an immersive experience that can transform your current surroundings into a workspace anytime, anywhere. The UDC (Under Display Camera), located under the screen, helps you focus on your work by minimizing factors distracting your field of vision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to the device’s 7.6-inch wide screen, you can even conveniently edit documents full of text. Just like using a small tablet PC, you can handle a variety of tasks that are more complex than simply reading or sending e-mails with your smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold4’s Cover Screen has also gotten wider, making it even more convenient to use. The width of the Cover Screen has increased while the length has decreased, making the aspect ratio similar to that of other conventional smartphones. In addition, the phone has become thinner when folded, providing enhanced grip experience. Thanks to the wider width, you can comfortably enjoy most features, such as typing letters or watching videos, without ever needing to unfold your phone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Virtually Work Efficiently from Anywhere in South Africa with Enhanced Multitasking Features</h3>
<p>The most striking characteristics of Galaxy Z Fold4 are its enhanced multitasking features. Along with the wider screen, the new Taskbar<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[i]</span></a> feature and Multi-window help you get your remote work done fast and efficiently — as if you are using a laptop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Taskbar is a newly added feature, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t familiar. The Taskbar looks and functions just like the layout you are used to seeing on a PC. You can even add frequently used apps to personalize your Taskbar: All the apps saved as favourites on your home screen will also appear on the Taskbar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can fully take advantage of the wider display by utilizing Multi-window, which lets you simultaneously view up to three windows on the screen. If you’d like to open another app while using a different application, simply drag and drop the app from the Taskbar to somewhere on the side, top or bottom of the screen. You can also easily switch screens between apps or change the layout with its intuitive UI.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have a combination of apps that you frequently use together, then the App Pair feature will help you save time. With the App Pair feature, you can save up to three apps as a single group on the Taskbar. Using this feature will get rid of the hassle of having to launch each app and display each one of them on a split screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15582" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/016_galaxys22ultra_pen_front_burgundy-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/016_galaxys22ultra_pen_front_burgundy-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/016_galaxys22ultra_pen_front_burgundy-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/016_galaxys22ultra_pen_front_burgundy-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Use the S Pen to Work with Precision and Speed</h3>
<p>With the S Pen<a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"><span>[ii]</span></a> for Galaxy Z Fold4, you can precisely control your mobile device as if working with a mouse on a PC. You can conveniently take notes on a large screen just as you would on a tablet, and you can also select only the necessary parts, such as text, links or photos to quickly copy and paste.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Make the Most of Work and Play at Every Angle</h3>
<p>With Flex mode<a href="#_edn3" name="_ednref3"><span>[iii]</span></a>, you can make the most of your foldable phone by freely changing the angle according to your needs. For instance, by taking advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4’s multitasking features, you can launch multiple apps at the same time. You can use one window of the screen for a video call and another window to take notes on important information, all while also looking at a meeting material on the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Taking a break is just as important as working efficiently. When it’s time to step away, try turning over your screen filled with work-related apps and instead watching a video on the Cover Screen to lighten your mood. Thanks to the thin bezels and the aspect ratio optimized for the Cover Screen, you can have an immersive experience while watching a video. With Flex mode, you can adjust your Galaxy Z Fold4 to best fit any situation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Capture Work, Play and Everything in Between</h3>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold4’s various features stand out whether you’re on or off the clock. For instance, during break time, you can enjoy watching videos or playing games on a large, immersive screen that brings your content to life. Small but important details such as the UDC (Under Display Camera), where the camera is placed under the screen, help minimize on-screen distractions and allow you to fully dive into the game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, Galaxy Z Fold4 users can also take advantage of the device’s large screen while snapping pictures. The larger image sensor and upgraded resolution enable high-quality shooting day or night. By enabling “Cover Screen preview,” the portrait can simultaneously check the preview on the Cover Screen while “Capture View” allows you to check the photos taken while using the camera.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another notable feature that takes advantage of Capture View is the Zoom Map. With larger Zoom Map activated automatically on the Capture View area when the rear camera is magnified by 30 times or more, it allows you to compare the magnified image and the original image ratio side by side at a glance. Typically, locating a subject while zoomed in is difficult, as the quality lowers and small movements come across as very shaky on camera. However, larger Zoom Map makes it possible to locate a subject quickly and easily to capture that perfect shot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold4 pushes the limits of mobile devices with its wide screen and various multitasking functions. If you’re a mobile worker who values the convenience and flexibility of working from anywhere, then we recommend Galaxy Z Fold 4 for your ultimate experience in on-the-go workplace productivity. However, whether you’re on or off the clock, you can still take advantage of Galaxy Z Fold4 features to make the most of your daily routine.</p>

<p>The launch of the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 marks the next step in creating flexible phones for the modern era. With the latest launch of the Galaxy Z series, Samsung has built on the success of its previous iterations and added more features, accessories and experiences to push the boundaries of designs that flip and fold even further.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since its release, each phone has developed a unique design identity: Galaxy Z Flip4 is the ultimate self-expression tool inside and out, and Galaxy Z Fold4 is a multitasking powerhouse with ultimate performance. But whatever phone you have in your hand, you can get ready to experience foldables fully redefined.</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Let the Future Unfold in Your Hands</strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main2.gif.gif" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z identity is known for phones that transform their shape as well as transform their users’ everyday lives. The updated Galaxy Z Fold4 features an even wider screen, slimmer hinge and lighter weight — providing the most comfortable one-handed use to date. Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Flip4 is just as premium and compact — taking up half the size of a conventional smartphone when folded. With the slimmer hinge, refined edges, contrasting haze back glass and glossy metal frames, the new design is the most refined yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Your Phone, Your Way</strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main3.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now more than ever, users want a device they can make truly their own. With this in mind, Galaxy Z Flip4 features an expanded range of colour options and accessories with which users can express their own unique personalities and preferences. Users can complement their style with a premium design in legacy colours, including Bora Purple and Graphite, and even bold new colours like Pink Gold and Blue. The fun doesn’t stop with just the Galaxy Z Flip4 — Galaxy Z Fold4 users can choose from refined and premium colours such as GreyGreen, Beige and Phantom Black, and then accessorise with a colour-matching S Pen Fold Edition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main5.jpg" /></p>
<p>Of course, a phone isn’t complete without the perfect accessories. From classic slim clear covers and premium flap leather covers, to ring and strap silicone cases — or even a design from Marvel, Disney and Star Wars — users can choose a case to stand out from the crowd. Available in an array of colourful graphic designs, Samsung offers accessories that precisely frame your phone’s iconic shape.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Customization From Cover to Cover</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135067" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main6.gif.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>Inside and out, the Galaxy Z Flip4 offers next-level customisation options for users to express themselves. The Cover Screen features new clock designs and backgrounds, including images, GIFs and even videos. Users can choose a Galaxy theme that fully updates both the main and Cover Screen with custom fonts, icons and designs to perfectly complement your style.</p>

<p>Get a perfect selfie every time with enhanced Quick Shot. This quick and easy camera mode for the Galaxy Z Flip4 Cover Screen now supports a preview that reflects the actual ratio of the photo, as well as Portrait Mode — offering more choice in how you capture on the go or from the comfort of your home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Capture Moments at Every Angle</strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main8.gif.gif" /></p>
<p>Designed with the young creator in mind, Galaxy Z Flip4 wants its users to have limitless opportunities to express themselves from every angle. With FlexCam, users can capture photos and videos from different points of view, with bolder angles than ever before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Galaxy Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam. The upgraded Galaxy Z Flip4 camera comes equipped with a 65% brighter sensor than previous devices, resulting in better photos and videos in low light, so users can take great content, day or night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Stylish and Durable</strong></h3>
<p>Both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 come equipped with our Armour Aluminium frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning<sup>®</sup> Gorilla<sup>®</sup> Glass Victus<sup>®</sup>+, making the devices durable. What’s more, both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 make a splash as one of the water-resistant foldable phones on the market.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Function up Front</strong></span></h3>

With more shortcuts than ever, including a flashlight, airplane mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enablement, and even a new SmartThings Scene widget, users can do it all without ever unfolding their phone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Picture Perfect, Every Time</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135073" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main12.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting that perfect shot is easy with Z Fold4, which takes stunning photos and videos with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom lens. The phone’s unique form factor gives it a special advantage when taking photos, especially regarding its variety of camera modes, including the larger Zoom map activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview and Rear Cam Selfie. With the larger pixel size, a 23% brighter sensor, and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images, day or night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Ultimate Productivity From Anywhere</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135074" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main13.gif.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135075" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main14.gif.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135076" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main15.gif.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold4 is designed to help you get more done at once. With the new Taskbar, you can easily access and switch between your most used apps, providing a familiar layout like your PC. With simple swipe gestures, users can instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split their screen in half for more ways to multitask. You can even check your email on your phone with the two-pane UI exclusively designed for foldables, giving you more information at once.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Uncover Next-level Convenience</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135077" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/foldable_B4Q4_main16.gif.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just like Z Flip4, Z Fold4 offers a convenient way to interact with your device without ever needing to unfold your phone. With the optimized Cover Screen, you can enjoy a standard smartphone experience on the outside and a tablet-like experience on the inside — all without compromising on size, weight or pocketability. What’s more, you can comfortably and easily use the Galaxy Z Fold4’s Cover Screen with only one hand, thanks to its wider size, new screen ratio, narrower bezels and lighter weight. Now, a better way to use your foldable phone is at your fingertips.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Stay in the Game</strong></span></h3>
<p>Gamers and movie-watchers can rejoice as the Z Fold4 provides an even brighter 7.6-inch Main Screen that makes any kind of entertainment immersive. You can stay focused on your favorite content thanks to the screen’s 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and less visible Under Display Camera (UDC). With better hardware and response times creating a smoother gaming experience overall, there’s a good reason why the Galaxy Z Fold4 is known as the ‘Best Gaming Device in the Galaxy.’</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While continuing the Galaxy smartphone legacy of innovation, the Galaxy Z series has been built to offer users iconic design, cutting-edge experiences and convenient features that users know and love. The Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are the latest examples of how Samsung is expanding smartphone possibilities and creating versatile devices for the modern era.
