[Galaxy Unpacked 2025] A First Look at the Galaxy Z Fold7: Unfolding a New Standard in Foldable Design

 On July 9, 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. 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.

Design: Slimmer and Lighter


The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date — measuring 4.2 millimeters when unfolded, 8.9 millimeters when folded and weighing 215 grams. Considering the inclusion of a cover display and a complex folding mechanism, these are breakthrough figures.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 8.9 millimeters thick when folded, shown next to a marker for scale.


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.

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.

 

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover display resembles a bar-type smartphone in both form and function.


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.

Camera: Clarity at the Highest Resolution


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 color.

Nightography ensures crisp, clear shots even in low light, while the front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view — maximizing the advantages of the large display. From group selfies to sweeping travel scenes, the device helps frame every moment with ease.

Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Contextual Help in Real Time


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 analyze the image, identify it and recommend nearby places that serve something similar.

 ▲ Gemini Live supports screen sharing for real-time assistance.


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.


 

▲ Gemini streamlines planning and coordination.


This feature becomes even more powerful when paired with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s large screen and Multi-Window.

 

▲ Multi-Window allows users to perform a variety of tasks using the large screen.


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 analyzes the context of both screens and offers helpful guidance.

 ▲ Gemini analyzes the image of the room, recommends a suitable chair and even converts it into the desired color.


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.


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.
