Since the groundbreaking debut of the world’s first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has been on a relentless quest to deliver big-screen power in a device that fits comfortably in your pocket. This vision has now culminated in the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, Samsung’s thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldables to date.

The Galaxy Z Flip7, at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed, epitomizes pocket-friendly design. This is achieved through an ultra-high-density circuit board that maximizes internal space efficiency, alongside a battery with enhanced energy density, increasing capacity by 300 mAh while reducing thickness. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of its original iteration, measuring 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. This 48% reduction, paired with a wider, brighter screen and a new 21:9 bar-phone aspect ratio, offers a device that is both portable and intuitive.

Pioneering Hinge Technology

The Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge, which is thinner and lighter than its predecessors. Key upgrades include:

  • Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a smaller yet robust hinge.
  • New alloy components that enhance yield strength, allowing the hinge to endure repeated folding.
  • Separate supporting and rotating functions for added structural stability and design flexibility.
  • A wingplate that opens wider, delivering a flatter and cleaner screen for a premium viewing experience.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung’s thinnest FlexHinge yet, maintaining full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness despite its slimmer design.

Innovative Display Enhancements

The display innovations in the Galaxy Z Fold7 focus on durability while ensuring the device remains light and thin. A titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for better resistance, and the panel layer has been redesigned to better absorb external stress, ensuring consistent rigidity. The Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than that of the Galaxy Z Fold6, offering a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.

For the Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung has preserved the iconic design of the Z Flip series while enhancing power and compactness. A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display eliminates the black notch, providing more content and cleaner visuals. The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, maintaining clean and symmetrical visuals, while the display bezel has shrunk from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, making it the world’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.

Advanced Camera Systems

The Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a flagship camera experience with the first 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable, made possible by a new thin actuator and a complete structural redesign. The Galaxy Z Flip7’s camera module has been reengineered to deliver high-quality images in a slimmer housing, with a streamlined internal structure and a smaller actuator for high-performance autofocus with less bulk.

Durability Meets Lightweight Design

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

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