Galaxy Z TriFold now expands the boundaries of what’s possible for mobile work, creativity and connection.”­­</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Shaping the Future With Decades of Mobile Expertise</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung has long been one of the leaders in the mobile industry, pioneering new categories and experiences such as large screen devices, foldable form factors and the use of AI on a mobile device, with each of these innovations created with the user in mind. Backed by state-of-the-art R&amp;D, end-to-end manufacturing and rigorous quality control, Galaxy Z TriFold showcases how Samsung continues to set new benchmarks for a phone that maximises output while remaining portable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Samsung’s research and design process, innovation is driven by understanding how people use devices. The company’s decade-long experience in foldable category innovation inspired Galaxy Z TriFold’s unique multi-folding form factor, which uses an inward-folding design to protect the main display. The folding mechanism has been precisely engineered for easy opening and closing, with an auto-alarm alerting the user of incorrect folding through a series of on-screen alerts and vibrations. Every detail is crafted with precision and purpose to deliver an intuitive, user-friendly experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Measuring just 3.9 mm at its thinnest point<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><sup style="font-size: small;">[2]</sup></a>, Galaxy Z TriFold delivers flagship-level performance powered by the customised Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup style="font-size: small;">[3]</sup></a>, a 200 MP camera<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup style="font-size: small;">[4]</sup></a> and the biggest battery Samsung has ever had in a foldable phone. The 5,600 mAh three-cell battery system<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><sup style="font-size: small;">[5]</sup></a> has been placed in each of 3 panels of the device for balanced power delivery and all-day endurance. Combined with 45 W super-fast charging<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><sup style="font-size: small;">[6]</sup></a>, Galaxy Z TriFold lets users stream, create and work with simplicity.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24287 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/002-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="714" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/002-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/002-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-1000x496.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/002-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-768x381.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/002-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-1024x508.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To balance the power of an ultra-quality device in a thin, portable frame, a re-optimisation of the core foldable technology had been applied. Every part of the device was crafted with deep attention to structural innovation and product assurance:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung’s Most Advanced Hinges Yet</strong>: Drawing on its heritage in foldable phone innovation, Samsung refined the Armor FlexHinge to meet the unique demands of Galaxy Z TriFold. Two differently sized hinges with a dual-rail structure work in harmony, creating a smoother, more stable fold despite varying weight and components across the device. The hinge structure also allows the screen panels to meet securely with a minimal gap, enabling a thinner, more portable device.</li>
<li><strong>Restructured Foldable Display</strong>: Galaxy Z TriFold introduces new display technology made for the 10-inch screen that folds twice into a pocketable phone. A reinforced overcoat has been added to a shock-absorbing display layer for better resistance across the dual-folding device.</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Materials on the Exterior</strong>: The titanium hinge housing introduces a thin piece of metal that protects the folding mechanism and resists wear over time. The frame of the device is supported by Advanced Armor Aluminum<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><sup style="font-size: small;">[7]</sup></a>, a high-strength alloy that adds rigidity without increasing bulk. The frame helps ensure that the screens don’t make contact with each other, and a ceramic-glass fiber-reinforced polymer back panel keeps the design thin yet resistant to cracks.</li>
<li><strong>High-Quality Inspection, on Each Device</strong>: Every unit goes through a series of strict quality checks to achieve every small requirement. For instance, CT scanning of the flexible printed circuit board verifies that it has been correctly manufactured according to the design, ensuring accuracy and reliability before bonding it together with the other internal display components. Laser scanning verifies that all internal components are mounted precisely at their intended height, securing surface quality.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through design innovation, engineering excellence and high-quality standards, every device has been built to deliver the best user experience possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24290 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/003-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif" alt="" width="800" height="444" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Samsung’s Most Versatile AI Phone, Powered by the Largest Screen</strong></h3>
<p>Productivity on Galaxy Z TriFold is heightened with powerful experiences, customised for the 10-inch display – the largest screen ever on a Galaxy phone. Like the users who inspired its dynamic design, Galaxy Z TriFold is powerful, versatile and ready for the modern AI era.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When Galaxy Z TriFold opens, the screen performs similarly to three 6.5-inch smartphones across the 10-inch display, giving users more room to multitask during their day. Users can use the screen with endless versatility – they can create across three different portrait-sized apps side-by-side without interruption, resize apps in multi-window to view the most important information clearly, or hold it in a vertical orientation when reviewing documents for improved focus. For example, an architect drafting design plans for a new home can use the large screen to operate three applications at the same time, to review blueprints, write a proposal, and calculate measurements in a single, multi-window workspace. If a call comes in unexpectedly, they can answer without disrupting their layout or losing their momentum. When it’s time to jump back into work, the Taskbar at the bottom right of the display instantly resurfaces recently used apps, bringing the full setup back into view with a single tap. Familiar apps and features, such as My Files and Samsung Health have also been optimised for a large screen, allowing users to organise and understand insights at a glance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24289 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="1620" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-500x563.jpg 500w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-768x864.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-910x1024.jpg 910w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To match the powerful capabilities a screen of this size can provide, Galaxy Z TriFold is the first mobile phone to have standalone Samsung DeX<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><sup style="font-size: small;">[8]</sup></a> available, meaning users can set up a full working environment from virtually anywhere. By going to the Quick Settings panel and selecting DeX for Galaxy’s most advanced work setup, users can access up to four workspaces that can each run five apps simultaneously. From there, they can review and edit a meeting presentation in one workspace and then quickly navigate to another to chat with friends and shop online. For even more productivity, users can add a secondary screen in Extended Mode, which enables a seamless dual-screen experience with an external monitor. Users can easily drag and drop apps across screens and work across both screens with desktop efficiency. Users can also add a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, instantly creating the ultimate portable workstation for complex projects or creative designs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24291 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/005-Introducing-Galaxy-Z-TriFold-The-Shape-of-Whats-Next-in-Mobile-Innovaion-Newsbody-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif" alt="" width="800" height="444" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every detail of Galaxy Z TriFold is designed for excellence – and with Galaxy AI<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><sup style="font-size: small;">[9]</sup></a>, those capabilities elevate the device by making every feature more intuitive on a large screen. Features like Photo Assist, including Generative Edit and Sketch to Image, adapt to Galaxy AI flexibly with impressive scale, enabling users to capture and create with Samsung’s most versatile creative platform. Users can also easily compare before and after edits side by side. Browsing Assist can simplify how Samsung Internet is used as it can provide instant summaries or translations as needed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gemini Live on Galaxy Z TriFold is enhanced with multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do. Users can seamlessly speak contextual questions and get answers without having to switch between apps for high level multitasking. The bigger screen provides design advice – when a user shows it a room, a shopping site and paint swatches, it will provide a custom recommendation. With screen or camera sharing on Gemini Live, users can simply ask questions about what they are viewing to get real-time assistance and insights – all on one device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A Pocket-Sized, Cinematic Viewing Experience</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Z TriFold’s unique form factor unlocks not only increased possibilities for creating and working, but also provides a perfect canvas for high-quality viewing of photo and video content.</p>
<p>Designed for maximum viewing with greater portability, Galaxy Z TriFold’s expansive 10-inch main screen is perfect for getting lost in movies or shows. For an extended YouTube experience, users can now watch a video and read the comments side-by-side. Minimised creasing on the device keeps content seamless and uninterrupted, and once closed, its slim profile allows it to easily slide back into any pocket.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24292 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-openfrontr30.jpg" alt="" width="4500" height="3000" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-openfrontr30.jpg 4500w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-openfrontr30-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-openfrontr30-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/004-galaxy-z-trifold-craftedblack-openfrontr30-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 4500px) 100vw, 4500px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drawing on Samsung’s expertise in visual display, the device provides silky-smooth visuals on a Dynamic 2X AMOLED<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><sup style="font-size: small;">[10]</sup></a> cover screen with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Galaxy Z TriFold features a bright display both opened and closed, with up to 2600 nits on the cover display and 1600 nits on the main screen. With Vision Booster optimising colour and contrast in any lighting, every image and frame comes to life in vivid detail, creating a truly immersive experience.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“With Galaxy XR, Samsung is introducing a brand-new ecosystem of mobile devices,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Built on Android XR, Galaxy XR expands the vision for mobile AI into a new frontier of immersive and meaningful possibilities, allowing XR to move from concept to everyday reality, for both the industry and users.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Android XR is the first Android platform built entirely for the Gemini era, and we are incredibly excited to take a significant leap forward today with the launch of Galaxy XR”, said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “Through our partnership with Samsung, Android XR will unlock entirely new ways to explore, connect and create, building an open, unified platform for the next evolution of computing.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Galaxy XR embodies our vision for the future, where the synergy of AI and XR transforms the possibilities of personal computing,” said Alex Katouzian, Group GM of Mobile, Compute &amp; XR at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We&#8217;re thrilled to be collaborating on this initiative, as Galaxy XR will help to bring new use cases across various industries and pave the way for exciting multi-device experiences, all enabled by our work with Samsung and Google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Designed to Unlock the Full Power of Multimodal AI</strong></h3>
<p>Galaxy XR is unlocking new possibilities with multimodal AI, transforming how people connect with the world through technology in their daily lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To bring Samsung, Google and Qualcomm’s vision for AI to life, Galaxy XR is the first product built on the new Android XR platform, which has Gemini embedded right from the start. With Gemini integrated at the system level, Galaxy XR doesn’t feel like a tool following users’ commands but a new type of AI companion that helps them manage their tasks, delivering natural and intuitive interactions through voice, vision and gesture. In the form of a headset, it gets a better sense of users’ surroundings by seeing what they see and hearing what they hear. This allows Galaxy XR to respond in conversational ways that feel natural, giving users entirely new ways of interacting with technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Open Collaboration Brings a Scalable Android XR Ecosystem</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of a long-term vision for XR, Samsung has built a new XR ecosystem in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, opening new possibilities for the industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24153 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-XR-Multimodal-AI-Android-XR-Opening-New-Worlds_main5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-XR-Multimodal-AI-Android-XR-Opening-New-Worlds_main5.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-XR-Multimodal-AI-Android-XR-Opening-New-Worlds_main5-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-XR-Multimodal-AI-Android-XR-Opening-New-Worlds_main5-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>Co-developed with Google and Qualcomm, Android XR is a powerful platform that puts AI at the centre of the experience. It is designed to scale across a variety of form factors, from headsets to AI glasses and beyond, and Galaxy XR benefits from the strength of its open, scalable ecosystem. All apps built on the Android platform work out of the box<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> on Galaxy XR, ensuring users can enjoy familiar mobile experiences they already love and making the device as useful day-to-day as it is groundbreaking. Since the platform is built on OpenXR standards, it’s easy for developers using OpenXR, WebXR or Unity<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>4</sup></a> to bring their experiences to Galaxy XR — offering them more ways to scale and giving consumers more choices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Discover, Work and Play Without Boundaries</h3>
<p>Galaxy XR has been carefully engineered with a human-centric design to deliver long-term comfort. Through a combination of its shape, advanced materials and the structural optimisation of each component, Galaxy XR achieves an optimal balance between lightweight design and robustness for daily use. The headset’s ergonomically balanced frame distributes pressure across the forehead and the back of the head, minimising facial discomfort while providing steady support. The battery pack is separate from the headset, making the device more compact, light and comfortable to wear. Galaxy XR also features a detachable light shield, offering comfort when removed and deeper immersion by blocking external light when attached. These thoughtful innovations allow Galaxy XR users to fully engage in XR experiences with ease.</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>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><em> </em></span><span>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the Galaxy Z Fold7, a device that brings together the best of Galaxy design, camera functionality and AI innovation in the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold series to date. It delivers the premium performance and experience of an ultra smartphone, while unlocking new levels of efficiency and productivity with a larger, more immersive display when unfolded. And with the new One UI 8 as its foundation, it seamlessly integrates intelligent, multimodal agents optimised for the foldable form factor.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22961" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-PR_dl1.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-PR_dl1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-PR_dl1-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Z-Fold7-PR_dl1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Galaxy Z Fold7 combines Galaxy AI with powerful hardware to deliver our most advanced smartphone experience yet,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics.“This next chapter of foldables brings together design and engineering, with AI built specifically for the foldable form. It gives people the ultra experience they want— powerful, immersive, intelligent, and portable all in one.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful</strong></h3>
<p><span><strong>Thinnest, Lightest Galaxy Z Fold</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Galaxy Z Fold7 is crafted for those who want the everyday portability and intuitive feel of a traditional smartphone, combined with the enhanced power and flexibility of a larger, unfolded display – all in one device. </span><span>With its ultra thin and light design and wider cover display, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a seamless on-the-go experience that makes typing and browsing effortless when it is folded. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span>At just <strong>215 grams</strong>,<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than Galaxy S25 Ultra.</span></li>
<li><span> </span><span>It is just <strong>8.9 </strong><strong>mm thick when folded</strong> and <strong>4.2 mm thick when unfolded</strong>.</span><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a></li>
<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>
<h3><strong>Ultra 200MP Camera</strong></h3>
<p><span><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Ultra Detailed, Ultra Clear Photos</strong></span><a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span><sup>[11]</sup></span></a></p>
<p><span>Galaxy Z Fold7</span><span> now brings the best of the Galaxy’s pro-grade camera experience to a foldable, combining advanced hardware with intelligent processing for consistently stunning results. Its high-resolution camera captures incredible detail, vibrant colour and rich texture, pulling users back into every moment. AI-enhanced imaging automatically optimises lighting, detail and realism, so photos and videos stay sharp and vivid, even in low light settings such as milestone dinners and late-night café scenes. </span></p>

<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
