But with the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25 or Galaxy Z7 Series phones on hand, none of that matters. Why? Because with Galaxy every seat, even in the nosebleeds is never a bad seat. The flagship cameras with the Galaxy’s ProVisual Engine and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-powered editing features transform every vantage point into a front-row experience, ensuring you never miss a moment worth capturing.

From the Back to the Spotlight

Think of the last time you were at a massive concert. Maybe you didn’t land front-row tickets because those are hard to get. No stress. With the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s AI-enhanced zoom, you can get closer than ever before. Suddenly, you’ve got the superstar headline performer in big, crisp HD detail on your screen – as if you were right up against the stage.

And when the lights go down? That’s when the advanced Nightography in Samsung’s flagship 2025 devices shines. The lasers, glitter, and swaying phone lights in the crowd are captured in sharp, vivid colour, letting you record, not just a performance, but the entire vibe of the night.

The School Play Parent Hack

We all know the struggle of trying to film your child’s big stage moment from the very back row. With the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s intelligent zoom and AI image processing, your kid’s shining moment comes through sharp, detailed, and unmissable.

And if a stranger’s head or tripod sneaks into the corner of the frame? Generative Edit has you covered. With a few taps, distractions disappear, and your child is restored as the star of the show – exactly as it should be remembered.

Later, long after the curtains were drawn on the concert, you may just want to relive the concert via the videos you captured on your phone. You can use the Audio Eraser feature to remove distracting background sounds from your videos, such as wind, crowd chatter, or general ambient sound, while preserving key audio like speech or music.

Travel Without Limits, with Galaxy by Your Side

Sightseeing often means fighting for the “perfect shot.” At Table Mountain or Kruger National Park lookouts, tourists can crowd in shoulder-to-shoulder, but the Galaxy S25 and Z7 Series’ AI camera smarts help you zoom in on hidden details, frame unique perspectives, and even clear away distractions later.

The flagship Galaxy phones are more than just a smartphone with some powerful cameras. They have Gemini Live which you can use to plan entire itineraries, get real-time tips on the best times to visit attractions, and even receive weather-based outfit suggestions (Cape Town’s four seasons in a day weather doesn’t play). It’s like having a personal tour guide and travel photographer in your pocket.

Everyday Front-Row Moments

Galaxy magic isn’t only for big events. It’s snapping latte art at your favourite Joburg café that would be a hit on Instagram, capturing your child’s soccer goal from across the field, or polishing that group selfie with the Best Face feature so no one looks awkward (because yes, someone always blinks).

Life may not always hand you the “perfect view,” but the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25 Plus, S25 Edge, Z Fold7 or Z Flip7 in your pocket range makes sure you never miss the moment. From concerts and school plays to travel adventures and everyday wins, your Samsung Galaxy phone transforms every seat into the best seat in the house.

Your Ultimate Tech Festival Wingman
Gemini Live Assist transforms your Galaxy Z7 Series device into your personal festival planner. It’s a real-time, conversational AI feature that works with your voice, camera, and screen sharing to help you plan, research, organise, and make everyday decisions, all through effortlessly natural back-and-forth conversations.

From the moment you decide to go to the concert, Gemini Live Assist can help you stay on top of your game. This can be from scheduling the event in your diary and setting reminders (to buy tickets, etc.) so you never miss a beat. You can plan your travel and logistics, from carpooling with friends to navigating to Crocodile Creek Polo Club. On the big day, Gemini Live Assist can help you coordinate your outfit with real-time advice – you can take a picture and get feedback on how to style it. You can also brainstorm ideas for festival essentials and must-have accessories.

What’s more? If, for instance, you have a social media following that is interested in virtually experiencing the day with you, you could also practice your social media intros or even speeches so you’re ready if the spotlight finds you.

What makes Gemini Live Assist truly stand out is how effortlessly it fits into your life. Curious about the weather on the day? Want to know what time your favourite act is performing? Need directions to the best parking? Simply ask – and get tailored, useful answers in seconds. These are just some of the useful bits of information you can get with this feature.

Capture Ultra Moments

Like in previous Joburg Day festivals, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip are the perfect photo takers for festivals. This year with the new 200MP camera on the Galaxy Z Fold7 and 50MP ultra-grade main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip7 you can capture your concert experience crystal clear photos from interesting angles. Even if you find yourself far back from the stage you can make it seem like you’re in the front row as you capture high quality pictures and use the ultra-zoom.

Whether you choose the elegantly expansive Galaxy Z Fold7 for multitasking, the stylishly pocketable and versatile Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE for snapping unforgettable moments, these devices are built for festival fun. Their durability, AI smarts, and powerful battery life mean you can focus more on the music and the fun, while does its bit of enhancing the experience for you.
Galaxy 947 Joburg Day is about living in the moment, and with Gemini Live Assist, you can make sure you’re ready for every single one. From prep to party, your Galaxy Z7 Series device will help keep you organised, connected, and ready to have the time of your life.

“Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone. The superior engineering that brought this revolutionary smartphone to life illustrates a commitment to overcoming barriers that helps Galaxy deliver truly unexpected premium experiences for people around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “S25 Edge not only marks a breakthrough for its category, but it also accelerates important innovation across the mobile industry.”

Exceptionally Sleek and Strong Design

With a thin 5.8mm chassis, Galaxy S25 Edge is a remarkable feat of engineering that reimagines nearly every element of smartphone design for an even more compact and convenient experience. Its refined frame bridges form and function at just 163 grams, taking slim smartphones to the next level while staying true to the Galaxy S series’ unified design.

Alongside its streamlined silhouette comes exceptional resilience. The optimally curved edges and sturdy titanium frame offer enduring protection for everyday use. The latest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2 – a new glass ceramic offering that delivers engineered resilience, is used for the front display to yield both vibrancy and strength on Galaxy S25 Edge.

Dynamic Creativity with a Pocketable 200MP Camera

The slim and light design of Galaxy S25 Edge makes it easier than ever for users to capture memorable moments and express their creativity anytime, anywhere. The 200MP wide lens upholds the Galaxy S series’ iconic camera experience while taking Nightography to a new level.

Thanks to its ultra-high resolution, users get sharper photos while maintaining clearer shots with large pixel size — capturing images with over 40% improved brightness¹ in low-light environments. The 12MP ultra-wide sensor features autofocus, which powers crisp, detailed macro photography for even more creative flexibility. Galaxy S25 Edge benefits from the same ProVisual Engine that was optimised for Galaxy S25 with pro-grade enhancements producing sharp details for clothes or plants and natural, true-to-life skin tone in portraits.

Galaxy AI-powered editing features, including fan-favourites like Audio Eraser² and Drawing Assist³ are all brought over from the Galaxy S25 series, pairing advanced creative and editing tools with Samsung’s finest and best, slim form factor.

Peak Performance Expertly Configured in Ultra-Slim Housing

Galaxy S25 Edge is built to deliver premium performance, starting with the Snapdragon 8 ® Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the same processor available in all Galaxy S25 series devices globally. Customised by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the chipset powers Galaxy S25 Edge’s on-device AI processing capabilities and offers reliably fast performance all day.

Galaxy S25 Edge also keeps its cool under sustained use thanks to a reconfigured vapor chamber that is thin yet broader for steady heat dissipation.

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.

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.

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.

200MP Sensor: Next-Level Clarity in Every Frame

The upgraded camera system takes your photography to the next level.

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:

• Captures shots that are 44% brighter and 4 times more detailed than those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6, ensuring every image is vivid, textured and ready to share.
• Maintains image quality at 2x optical-grade zoom, delivering sharp, clear results even when digitally zooming in — so you can reframe or crop images without sacrificing detail.
• A shutter speed that is up to 7 times faster, enabling you to take crisp, detailed photos of important moments.

The 200MP sensor ensures you can capture every detail.

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.

To maintain precise focus at close range, the device leverages Dual Camera Depth Calibration — 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.

Fit the Whole Crew in Wide-Angle Selfies

The 100-degree front camera on the main display allows you to take large group selfies with ease.

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:

• Front camera photos that are 25% wider and 2.5 times clearer compared to those taken with Galaxy Z Fold6.
• The camera uses Wide Distortion Correction, which automatically adjusts proportions and reduces distortion when faces are near the edges of frames, allowing everyone to look more natural in wide shots.
• More natural skin texture on photo subjects, thanks to AI-driven adjustments optimized for the selfie experience.
• Enhanced HDR processing for portraits that prioritizes the subject for more true-to-life rendering.
• AI-powered filters 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.

Light Up Night Shoots With the ProVisual Engine

Galaxy Z Fold7 shines brightest after dark, thanks to its AI-powered ProVisual Engine that processes images faster^[1]and optimizes every scene.

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:

• Enhanced Nightography leverages an advanced Spatio-Temporal Filter 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.

Videos get a further boost from the introduction of advanced 10-bit HDR video recording:

• Overall color expression is enhanced with 4 times richer contrast and a wider dynamic range compared to standard 8-bit recordings.
• Galaxy Z Fold7 supports Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG^[2], ensuring broad compatibility with regular displays and TVs.

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:

• The 10-bit High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC^[3]) codec for advanced compression and editing freedom.
• The ability to fine-tune color grading using Samsung Look-Up Table (LUT^[4]), right from the device.

A Portable Editing Studio Right in Your Hands

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:

• Generative Edit, enhanced with a refined AI model and more advanced prompt processing, now delivers an 18-fold reduction in the mis-generation rate and a 4-fold cut in texture distortion 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.
• Through Galaxy AI’s scene-understanding capabilities, Suggest Erases proactively suggests edits like removing passersby or other distractions in photos for flawless, clean shots.
• Side-by-Side Editing lets you compare original and edited versions of your photos in real time for quick editing on the go.
• Improved with advanced AI prompt engineering, Portrait Studio helps pet lovers and portrait enthusiasts alike refine images to capture vibrant expressions and striking profiles.

Unfold Your Creativity

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.
