Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 Officially Unveiled with Significant Upgrades

Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 at its Galaxy Unpacked event in New York, ending months of speculation and leaks. These new foldable smartphones offer larger displays, slimmer profiles, and the latest hardware enhancements. This article provides a comprehensive overview of their specifications and pricing details.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Advanced Specifications and Features

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 features a substantial redesign with expanded screen sizes, including a 6.5-inch Full HD+ cover display and an expansive 8-inch inner screen boasting a 3K resolution. Both screens utilize Dynamic AMOLED technology with variable refresh rates ranging from 1 to 120 Hz. Durability is enhanced by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the outer display and Gorilla Glass Victus 3 protecting the inner panel.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset—the same processor found in the Galaxy S25 series—the Fold 7 guarantees top-tier performance. It is offered with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM to support intensive multitasking and demanding applications.

Constructed with an Advanced Armor Aluminum frame, the device carries an IP48 rating, providing resistance against minor splashes and dust ingress. The design is notably slimmer and lighter, weighing just 215 grams. Battery capacity stands at 4,400 mAh, balancing power and portability.

Photography capabilities include a rear triple camera setup: a 200 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and a 10 MP telephoto camera. The external selfie camera remains at 10 MP, while the internal under-display camera has been upgraded from 4 MP to 10 MP, enhancing selfie quality. The Fold 7 closely resembles the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition released in Korea last year, suggesting a refinement rather than a complete overhaul.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Enhanced Display and Performance Specs

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers increased screen sizes with a 4.1-inch cover display and a 6.9-inch Full HD+ AMOLED main screen. Both panels support a 120 Hz refresh rate, with the main display incorporating LTPO technology for efficient power management. The primary screen is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Samsung has refined the Flip 7’s dimensions, achieving a thickness of 6.5mm when unfolded and 13.7mm when folded, making it one of the thinnest flip-style foldables on the market. It also carries an IP48 rating for dust and water protection and features an Armor Aluminum build for improved durability.

The battery capacity has been increased to 4,300 mAh, a 300 mAh improvement over its predecessor, contributing to the device’s 188-gram weight. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 support fast charging, capable of reaching 50% charge within 30 minutes using a 25W charger, along with Fast Wireless Charge 2.0 compatibility.

Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chipset rather than a Qualcomm processor. The camera system remains consistent with last year’s Z Flip 6, featuring a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and a 10 MP front-facing camera.

Both devices debut with One UI 8 based on Android 16 and are promised to receive seven years of software updates, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to long-term support for flagship models.
