Refining the Pocketable Foldable – Samsung Newsroom U.K.

On July 9, Samsung Electronics unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn — marking another step forward in foldable innovation.

 

The Galaxy Z Flip7 raises the bar for flip-style smartphones, combining a compact, pocketable design with intuitive AI experiences and the largest cover screen in the Galaxy Z Flip series to date.

 

Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Flip7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

 

 

Design: Larger Window in a Slimmer Frame

The Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces the Galaxy Z Flip series’ largest cover screen and its slimmest design yet. The standout 4.1-inch[1] FlexWindow features ultra-thin 1.25-millimeter bezels, allowing the display to span nearly the entire cover — excluding the camera lens — for an expanded viewing experience. Everyday tasks such as checking schedules, replying to messages or using AI-powered features can be done without unfolding the device.

 

Ultra-thin bezels allow the FlexWindow to stretch from edge to edge.

 

When opened, a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display is revealed[2]. Both the FlexWindow and main display support up to 2,600 nits of brightness, a 120-hertz refresh rate and Vision Booster technology for improved outdoor visibility — delivering clear, vivid content anytime, anywhere.[3]

Measuring 6.5 millimeters when unfolded, 13.7 millimeters when folded and weighing 188 grams[4], the Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest yet — refining the compactness and portability that define the Galaxy Z Flip series.

A durable Armor Aluminum frame and a thinner, reinforced Armor FlexHinge improve resilience while maintaining the device’s sleek silhouette[5].

The Armor FlexHinge provides smooth, reliable folding over extended use.

 

Inside, a 4,300 mAh battery[6] — the largest ever in the Galaxy Z Flip series — supports up to 31 hours of video playback for extended use with less worry about charging[7].

 

 

Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Ready-to-Go Personal Assistant

In today’s fast-paced world, relying on AI has become second nature. The Galaxy Z Flip7 takes those interactions further — offering a more intuitive, seamless experience through One UI 8[8], optimised for the expanded FlexWindow and advanced multimodal AI technology.

 

For example, users planning a trip can check their schedule directly from the FlexWindow through Now Brief[9].

Long pressing the power button launches Google’s Gemini Live[10], offering travel-ready help including restaurant recommendations, weather updates and outfit suggestions using the camera.

 

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

 

The Galaxy Z Flip7 moves beyond design innovation, offering an AI experience that fits naturally into everyday routines. With its pocket-friendly size and built-for-anywhere features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 elevates the standard for foldables.
