An Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful Galaxy Z Fold7
Thinest, Lightest Galaxy Z Fold
The Galaxy Z Fold7 combines the everyday portability and intuitive feel of a traditional smartphone with enhanced power and flexibility of a larger, unfolded display – all into one device. It’s ultra thin, lightweight, and a wider cover display, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a seamless on-the-go experience that makes typing and browsing effortless when it is folded.
Here are some key features of the Galaxy Z Fold7:
- Weighing at just 215g, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra
- Just 8.9mm thick when folded and 4.2mm thick when unfolded
- They come with a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display, a wider screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio.
Most Expansive Screen on Galaxy Smartphone
When the Galaxy Z Fold7 unfolds, it transforms into more than just a smartphone. This reveals an expansive screen that opens up a new world of possibilities for editing, multitasking, immersive viewing and seamless interaction with Galaxy AI.
Compared to its previous generation, the main display on the Galaxy Z Fold7 is 11% larger, thus providing even more screen real estate for content editing and multitasking across multiple apps.
- The 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display offers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks and vibrant detail that make everything pop – from movies to the different tabs open while multitasking.
- With Vision Booster and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, the Galaxy Z Fold7 stays brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight.
Sleek in Design, Tough in Performance
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is designed to be sleek and light, yet it is built tough to deliver long-lasting performance. Whether it is repeated folding or being tossed in a bag, they are engineered for everyday durability and built to last longer with a restructured hinge and foldable display.
- Armor FlexHinge: The Armor FlexHinge is thinner and lighter, thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduce visible creasing and strengthen durability by evenly dispersing stress.
- Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2: The cover display is made with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic that has crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix. This secures the screen’s durability and crack deflection capabilities and delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor.
- Advanced Armor Aluminium in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by 10%.
- The main display is restructured to be thinner and lighter – yet stronger. This was achieved by implementing the Titanium Plate Layer. The Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) was increased to be 50% thicker, making the display tougher.
Most Powerful Processor Customised for Galaxy
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy which is uniquely customised for Galaxy devices and makes on-device AI processing tasks – like real-time language translation and Generative Edit – faster and more seamless.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy delivers a performance boost of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% of GPU compared to the previous generation. This fuels the Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise.
