Galaxy Z Fold 7: Details

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Fold 7 is equipped with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It weighs 215g and measures 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded, making it the slimmest and lightest Fold in the series so far.

 

The smartphone features an 8-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display and a 6.5-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen, both with 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung claims the main display is 11 per cent larger than its predecessor. The outer screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, while the main screen is reinforced with a titanium plate and thinner Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) for added durability. 

  Camera and imaging

 

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasts a 200MP primary sensor, paired with a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. It features two 10MP front cameras, one on the cover screen and one on the main bendable display. The camera on the latter has graduated from under-display to punch-hole for better performance.

 

Samsung says the new camera system delivers up to 44 per cent better brightness and captures four times more detail than previous models.

 

AI and software enhancements

 

Running One UI 8 based on Android 16, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers deep Galaxy AI integration. 

It supports Google’s Gemini AI, Circle to Search, and AI Results View in Split View or Floating View.

 

Users can drag and drop AI-generated images or text directly into apps using Multi Window. The phone also enables real-time image comparisons with Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original modes, powered by tools like Photo Assist and Generative Edit. 

  Battery and protection

 

The device is equipped with a 4,400mAh battery that supports fast charging up to 50 per cent in 30 minutes, as well as wireless and reverse charging.

 

It comes with an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back panel.
