Ever since Samsung created the foldable category by unveiling the first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users large-screens in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, Galaxy foldable devices have again not only exceeded that goal but set a new standard for mobile foldable innovation.
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 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[1].
Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation FlexHinge that is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than its predecessor[2]. Key upgrades include:
- Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size.
- Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability.
- A wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.
Thinner Displays
The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7’s hardware innovations:
- Reduced display thickness by completely reoptimising the panel structure.
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, a 68% reduction that makes Galaxy Z Flip7 the Galaxy’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.
Pro Cameras, Optimised for Potability
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 Galaxy Z Series
- The camera module shrunk by 18% and ran nearly 30,000 simulations, culminating in the thinnest 200 MP camera on a foldable device that doesn’t sacrifice image quality.
On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been redesigned 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.
Strong Materials, Lighter Feel
The Bottom Line
Give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone.
Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.
