																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 features the Z Fold series’ most advanced camera, delivering an Ultra experience that transforms the way you capture, edit and share content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the first time in the series, the device offers a 200MP ultra-high-resolution main camera and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also equipped with a ProVisual Engine boasting more than 160 AI-powered imaging technologies, Galaxy Z Fold7 seamlessly merges flagship camera performance and intelligent processing in a versatile foldable design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From filming vivid night videos to capturing more of the world with its ultra-wide lens, here’s how the thinnest and lightest Z Fold yet is built to keep up with your creative vision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>200MP Sensor: Next-Level Clarity in Every Frame</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_23284" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23284 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753440532734.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="613" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The upgraded camera system takes your photography to the next level.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the heart of Galaxy Z Fold7’s camera system lies its 200MP wide-angle camera, the same found in Galaxy S25 Ultra and the highest-ever resolution sensor in the Z Fold series. With it, you can now capture every nuance of a scene, from the rich textures and colors of clothes in your holiday photos to the delicate contours of the vast landscape behind you. Here are some of the key benefits of Galaxy Z Fold7’s wide-angle camera:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Captures shots that are<span> </span><strong>44% brighter<span> </span></strong>and<span> </span><strong>4 times</strong><strong><span> </span>more detailed</strong><span> </span>than those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6, ensuring every image is vivid, textured and ready to share.</li>
<li>Maintains<strong><span> </span>image quality at 2x optical-grade zoom</strong>, delivering sharp, clear results even when digitally zooming in — so you can reframe or crop images without sacrificing detail.</li>
<li>A<span> </span><strong>shutter speed that is up to 7 times faster</strong>, enabling you to take crisp, detailed photos of important moments.</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_23283" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23283 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/002_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753438972610.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="553" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The 200MP sensor ensures you can capture every detail.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Looking to highlight the intricate details of your latest artwork or piece of jewelry? The enhanced 12MP ultra-wide lens on Galaxy Z Fold7 now supports auto focus, enabling macro photography, so you can take close-ups with exceptional sharpness and depth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To maintain precise focus at close range, the device leverages<span> </span><strong>Dual Camera Depth Calibration</strong><span> </span>— a system that intelligently gauges subject distance and seamlessly switches between the wide and ultra-wide cameras when needed. This allows you to achieve consistent sharpness without manually changing cameras. The addition of autofocus to the ultra-wide camera further enhances accuracy, making it easier than ever to shoot detailed close-ups with clarity.</p>

<h3><span><strong>Fit the Whole Crew in Wide-Angle Selfies</strong></span></h3>
<div id="attachment_23285" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23285 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/003_Facts_and_Figures_Behind_Galaxy_Z_Fold7_Ultra_Camera_Newsbody-e1753439263744.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="658" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The 100-degree front camera on the main display allows you to take large group selfies with ease.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting everyone in the frame no longer means stretching your arm to the limit or asking the group to back up. The enhanced 100-degree front camera on the main display captures more of the scene so you can easily fit everyone in the shot. Features and upgrades include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Front camera photos that are<span> </span><strong>25% wider</strong><span> </span>and<span> 2.5</span><strong> times clearer</strong><span> </span>compared to those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6.</li>
<li>The camera uses<span> </span><strong>Wide Distortion Correction</strong>, which automatically adjusts proportions and reduces distortion when faces are near the edges of frames, allowing everyone to look more natural in wide shots.</li>
<li><strong>More natural skin texture</strong><span> </span>on photo subjects, thanks to AI-driven adjustments optimized for the selfie experience.</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced HDR processing for portraits</strong><span> </span>that prioritizes the subject for more true-to-life rendering.</li>
<li><strong>AI-powered filters</strong><span> </span>trained on over 5,000 real analog film images, letting you fine-tune your photos based on contrast, saturation and color temperature to achieve a look that blends natural aesthetics with artistic expression.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Light Up Night Shoots With the ProVisual Engine</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7 shines brightest after dark, thanks to its AI-powered ProVisual Engine that processes images faster<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>and optimizes every scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The energy of an evening concert or a night out with friends can be recorded in stunning clarity. By analyzing movement and light in real time, Galaxy Z Fold7 reduces noise effectively and delivers crystal-clear results — even in challenging low-light conditions:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Enhanced<span> </span><strong>Nightography</strong><span> </span>leverages an advanced<span> </span><strong>Spatio-Temporal Filter</strong><span> </span>that analyzes pixel data both within each frame and between frames. When analyzing across multiple frames, it separates the subject from the background to reduce background noise. Footage quality is further refined as noise is removed based on continuous pixel patterns within individual frames. The result is sharper, clearer night footage with natural light and fine detail.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Videos get a further boost from the introduction of advanced 10-bit HDR video recording:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Overall color expression is enhanced with<span> </span><strong>4 times richer contrast and a wider dynamic range</strong><span> </span>compared to standard 8-bit recordings.</li>
<li>Galaxy Z Fold7 supports<span> </span><strong>Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>, ensuring broad compatibility with regular displays and TVs.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>LOG video recording is supported as well — particularly useful for creators who want more flexibility during post-production. Videos can be edited with greater ease, thanks to:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The<span> </span><strong>10-bit High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>) codec</strong><span> </span>for advanced compression and editing freedom.</li>
<li>The ability to fine-tune color grading using<span> </span><strong>Samsung Look-Up Table (LUT<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a>)</strong>, right from the device.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>A Portable Editing Studio Right in Your Hands</strong></span></h3>
<p>With Galaxy Z Fold7, there’s no need to get back to your desk before editing content. The device itself is your own portable creative studio, with its large display allowing you to edit like a pro — anytime, anywhere with precision like never before:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Generative Edit</strong>, enhanced with a refined AI model and more advanced prompt processing, now delivers an<span> </span><strong>18-fold reduction in the mis-generation rate</strong><span> </span>and<span> </span><strong>a 4-fold cut in texture distortion<span> </span></strong>compared to Galaxy Z Fold6. The upgrade allows you to effortlessly remove unwanted objects — along with related elements such as shadows or reflections — adjust angles, and naturally fill in backgrounds, resulting in polished, professional-quality photos.</li>
<li>Through Galaxy AI’s scene-understanding capabilities,<span> </span><strong>Suggest Erases</strong><span> </span>proactively suggests edits like removing passersby or other distractions in photos for flawless, clean shots.</li>
<li><strong>Side-by-Side Editing</strong><span> </span>lets you compare original and edited versions of your photos in real time for quick editing on the go.</li>
<li>Improved with advanced AI prompt engineering,<span> </span><strong>Portrait Studio</strong><span> </span>helps pet lovers and portrait enthusiasts alike refine images to capture vibrant expressions and striking profiles.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Unfold Your Creativity</strong></span></h3>
<p>Galaxy Z Fold7’s next-generation camera and editing tools make creating high-quality content simpler, faster and more intuitive than ever before. More than just a foldable, Galaxy Z Fold7 takes your craft to new heights as your personal creative assistant.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On July 09, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold7 at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn — once again redefining innovation in foldable smartphones. As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, the Galaxy Z Fold7 features multimodal AI capabilities, a redesigned user interface and the series’ first 200-megapixel camera.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With ultra-level refinement across design and technology, the device sets a new standard for foldable smartphones. Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Fold7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23116" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23116 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_thumb1000.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_thumb1000.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_thumb1000-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_thumb1000-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Galaxy Z Fold7, the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Design: Slimmer and Lighter</strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date — measuring 4.2 millimetres when unfolded, 8.9 millimetres when folded and weighing 215 grams. Considering the inclusion of a cover display and a complex folding mechanism, these are breakthrough figures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23133" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23133 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Picture1-e1752842699137.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="668" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 8.9 millimetres thick when folded, shown next to a marker for scale.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The hardware innovation is immediately noticeable — significantly slimmer and more lightweight than its predecessors. The device feels closer to a bar-type smartphone in hand and is thinner than the average passport or card wallet, making it exceptionally comfortable to carry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23122" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23122 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/004_GA1-e1752841749641.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is noticeably lighter and more comfortable to hold.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The cover display’s wider 21:9 aspect ratio makes everyday tasks like messaging, browsing and checking email more convenient — all without unfolding the device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23123" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23123 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/005_GA1-e1752841834100.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover display resembles a bar-type smartphone in both form and function.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Design innovation extends to the hinge. The newly applied Armor FlexHinge is thinner while maintaining durability and the upgraded structure significantly reduces the visibility of the crease along the foldable display.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23124" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23124 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/006_GA1-e1752841910618.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The thinner and lighter Armor FlexHinge provides durability.</p></div>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_23125" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23125 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/007_GA1-e1752841972770.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ The upgraded internal hinge structure reduces the appearance of the crease on the display.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Camera: Clarity at the Highest Resolution</strong></p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first in the Galaxy Z Fold series to feature a 200-megapixel camera — capturing four times the detail compared to its previous 50-megapixel counterpart. Paired with the AI-powered ProVisual Engine, the camera delivers sharper images and more vivid colour.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23126" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23126 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main8.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="583" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main8.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main8-966x563.jpg 966w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main8-768x448.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Details captured with the 200-megapixel camera</p></div>
<p>Nightography ensures crisp, clear shots even in low light, while the front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view, maximising the advantages of the large display. From group selfies to sweeping travel scenes, the device helps frame every moment with ease.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23127" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23127 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main9.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="567" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main9.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main9-993x563.jpg 993w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main9-768x435.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ A wide-angle selfie taken with the 100-degree field of view</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Contextual Help in Real Time</strong></p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold7 debuts with One UI 8, introducing Samsung’s new multimodal AI experience. Thanks to Google’s Gemini Live, users can share their screen in real time while speaking with the AI assistant — enabling contextual requests based on what’s visible. For example, when a user comes across a photo of an unfamiliar dessert, Gemini can analyse the image, identify it and recommend nearby places that serve something similar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23128" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23128 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main10.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="536" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main10.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main10-768x412.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Gemini Live supports screen sharing for real-time assistance.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gemini can then save the restaurant list and set a calendar reminder — completing both tasks simultaneously. There’s no need to switch apps or copy and paste, as the AI assistant integrates seamlessly into daily routines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23129" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23129 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main11.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="536" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main11.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main11-768x412.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Gemini streamlines planning and coordination.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This feature becomes even more powerful when paired with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s large screen and Multi-Window.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23131" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23131 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main12.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="536" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main12.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main12-768x412.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Multi-Window allows users to perform a variety of tasks using the large screen.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For instance, a user can display a chair on the left screen and a room on the right, then ask Gemini whether the furniture matches the interior. The AI assistant analyses the context of both screens and offers helpful guidance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_23132" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-23132 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main13.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main13.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main13-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-NDA-First-Look-Foldable_main13-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ Gemini analyses the image of the room, recommends a suitable chair and even converts it into the desired colour.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This Galaxy-exclusive user experience enables intuitive, natural communication between users and their devices — not only through text but also via images, voice and live camera input when requesting information or assistance from AI.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond a simple evolution in design and technology, setting a new benchmark with an ultra-premium experience that integrates into every part of daily life. From cutting-edge hardware and smarter AI to a best-in-class camera, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers the true ultra-experience promised by Galaxy.</p>

<li><span> </span><span>The device comes with <strong>6.5</strong><strong>-inch</strong></span><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover display<span>, a <strong>wider screen </strong></span><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> <span>with a <strong>new 21:9 aspect ratio.</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Most Expansive Screen on Galaxy Smartphone</strong></span></p>
<p><span>When unfolded, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes more than just a smartphone. It transforms into another device entirely and reveals an expansive screen that expands the workspace for editing, multitasking and immersive viewing – getting more out of Galaxy AI. </span><span>The main display on Galaxy Z Fold7 is 11% larger than the previous generation, providing even more screen real estate for content editing and multitasking across multiple apps.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span>The <strong>8-inch</strong></span><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display<span> offers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks and vibrant detail that makes everything pop — from movies to tabs open while multitasking. </span></li>
<li><span> </span><span>With <strong>Vision Booster</strong> and up to <strong>2,600 nits of peak brightness</strong>, Galaxy Z Fold7 stays brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Looks Sleek, Built Tough</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Thin and light, Galaxy Z Fold7 is built to move with users, confidently. From repeated folding to being tossed in a bag, it’s engineered for everyday durability and built to last longer, with a restructured hinge and foldable display. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span>The <strong>Armor FlexHinge</strong> is thinner and lighter,</span><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduces visible creasing and strengthens durability by evenly dispersing stress.</li>
<li><span> </span><span>The cover display is made with <strong>Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, </strong>a new glass ceramic that has crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix.</span><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> This secures the screen’s durability and crack deflection capabilities and delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor.</li>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>Advanced Armor Aluminum</strong></span><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a> in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by 10%.</li>
<li><span> </span><span>The main display is restructured to be thinner and lighter – yet stronger. This was achieved by implementing the Titanium plate layer</span>. Additionally, Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) was increased to be 50% thicker, making the display <span> </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span><strong>The Most Powerful Processor Customised for Galaxy</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Under the hood, Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the best-in-class processor used in Galaxy devices. It’s uniquely customised and makes on-device AI processing tasks </span><span>– </span><span>like real-time language translation and Generative Edits </span><span>–</span><span> faster and more seamless. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span>The <strong>Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy</strong></span><a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><sup>[8]</sup></span></a>delivers performance boosts of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a><span> compared to the previous generation. This power fuels Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span><strong> </strong></span></p>
