The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (stylized as Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7) is a foldable smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics. It was officially announced on July 9, 2025, at the Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event held in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 (and its FE model) and the Galaxy Watch 8 series.[2][3][4]

Features

Design and display

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 features updated dimensions and weight compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. When folded, it measures approximately 168.4 × 72.6 × 8.9 mm, and when unfolded, it measures 158.2 × 143 × 4.2 mm. The device weighs approximately 215 grams, making it the lightest and thinnest model in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold line-up to date. These changes result from further refinements to the hinge and frame design, while maintaining the book-style folding format that defines the series.[5]

The Z Fold 7 features two Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. The cover display measures 6.5 inches with a resolution of 2520 × 1080 pixels, and now adopts a 21:9 aspect ratio, offering a wider viewing experience compared to its predecessor. The main foldable display measures 8.0 inches with a resolution of 2184 × 1968 pixels and can reach up to 2,600 nits of brightness under specific conditions, such as when using Vision Booster in direct sunlight.[6][7]

At launch, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is available in three standard color options: Jet Black, Blue Shadow, and Silver Shadow. A fourth variant, Mint, is available exclusively through Samsung's online store.[8]

Flex mode

Flex Mode is a feature available on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 that utilizes the device's foldable hinge mechanism to enable split-screen functionality when the device is partially folded, typically between 75 and 115 degrees.

In this configuration, supported applications display content on the upper half of the screen, while interactive controls appear on the lower half. For example, in apps such as YouTube, Samsung Notes, and video conferencing apps, users can view content or calls on the top screen while accessing playback tools, editing options, or a virtual touchpad below.

Flex Mode is intended to support multitasking by allowing simultaneous interaction with different parts of an application through the device's foldable form factor.[9]

Specifications

Hardware

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, manufactured using a 3 nm process. Its octa-core CPU includes two high-performance Oryon V2 cores clocked at 4.47 GHz and six efficiency cores at 3.53 GHz. The chipset's GPU supports hardware-accelerated graphics and AI processing, which are utilized in tasks such as gaming and multitasking.[5][10][11]

Image processing is handled by Samsung's ProVisual Engine, an image signal processor (ISP) that supports always-on 10-bit HDR+ color, applies noise reduction, and enables video capture in low-light conditions. It also performs motion detection and scene analysis to automatically adjust camera settings based on subject and lighting.[17][18]

Software

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 ship with Android 16 and One UI 8. Alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it is promised to get up to seven years of operating system and security updates, which is a policy first introduced with the Galaxy S24 series,[19] making it the second Galaxy Z series phone to do so after the Galaxy Z6 series. Support may end on October 12, 2032.

Galaxy AI

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 supports a range of Galaxy AI features optimized for its foldable form factor, including Generative Edit, which allows users to remove or move objects by tapping and holding on them. This feature utilizes the 8.0 in (200 mm) main display and Flex Mode to support image editing with a larger viewing area and layout flexibility when the device is unfolded.
