The Breakthroughs Powering Samsung’s Thinnest, Most Refined Foldables – Samsung Newsroom Malaysia

 

Since unveiling the world’s first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users big-screen power in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, that promise comes to life.

 

The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung’s thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date.

 

 

Pocket-friendly Proportions

 

Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into any pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed.  An ultra-high-density circuit board makes sure there is no wasted space internally and Samsung enhanced the battery’s energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness.

 

 

Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of the original Fold, measuring just 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. This 48% reduction combined with a wider, brighter screen and a new 21:9 bar-phone aspect ratio, delivers a foldable device that is both portable and intuitive to use.

 

 

Smarter, Slimmer Hinges

 

Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include:

 

  • Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.
  • New alloy components that increase yield strength to allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.
  • Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility.
  • A wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.

 

 

Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung’s thinnest FlexHinge yet. It’s slimmer than the hinge on Galaxy Z Flip6 yet still supports full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness.

 

 

Brighter, Stronger Displays

 

The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7’s hardware innovations, with a focus on greater durability while ensuring the device is lighter and thinner:

 

  • Titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for better resistance.
  • Achieved a slimmer profile by redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity.
  • Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.

 

 

With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series’ iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:

 

  • A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.
  • The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.
  • The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, making the Galaxy Z Flip7 the world’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.

 

Pro Cameras, Zero Bulk

 

Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.

 

  • First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable that’s made possible by a new thin actuator and a complete structural redesign.

 

On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been reengineered from the ground up, delivering flagship image quality in a slimmer housing. To achieve a thinner design while maintaining high performance, Samsung streamlined the internal structure of the entire module, incorporating a smaller actuator to ensure high-performance autofocus with less bulk.

 

 

Tougher Materials, Lighter Feel   

 

Samsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7’s thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2[1], making it 30% stronger than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum[2], which is 10% tougher than the previous generation.

 

 

The Bottom Line

Every hinge, display layer and camera component inside Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 was redesigned for one purpose: give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone.

 

Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.
