Samsung has unveiled new foldable smartphones Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in Brooklyn. These devices promise to revolutionize the market with modern technology and increasing integration of artificial intelligence.
Technical Specifications and Design of the New Line
The Galaxy Z Fold7 weighs only 215 grams and measures 8.9 mm in thickness when folded. Its main 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is 11% larger than its predecessor, while the 6.5-inch external display has been enhanced for convenience.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence
The second-generation devices integrate Galaxy AI, optimized for foldable formats through One UI 8, built on Android 16. This allows users to perform tasks more quickly using voice, text, and visual interaction.
For example, the screen-sharing feature with Gemini Live lets users display content on the multi-window display and request design advice in real time. The upgraded 200MP camera of the Fold7 enables higher-detail photography, while AI assists in editing.
Market Impact and Accessibility
Samsung is also emphasizing accessibility by releasing the Z Flip7 FE at a price of $899, making foldable smartphones more reachable for a wider audience.
