Samsung announced a New York launch event on the new generation of its folding screen smartphones: Galaxy z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. The early safety sale will begin today, when buyers receive a gift of storage. The price of the FOLD 7 with 12 gigabytes of working memory (RAM) and 256 gigabytes of storage is NIS 7,450, 12 gigabytes/512 gigabyte version is NIS 7,900 and the 16 GB/1 version is NIS 9,000.
The two FLIP 7 models come with 12 gigabytes of working memory, with the 256 GB being sold for NIS 4,100 and the 512 GB of NIS 4,550.
Samsung Z Fold 7 – thinner and easier
The main problem of the FOLD devices were their thickness, they were just too fat. Samsung engineers have been able to significantly reduce the thickness of the FOLD 7, when it is now 8.9 mm when it is closed, compared to 12.1 mm in the previous generation. By comparison, the thickness of the S25 Ultra is 8.2 mm today, so you get an almost folding smartphone in the thickness of a regular device.
The weight of the FOLD 7 is 215 grams, much easier than the FOLD 6, which has a heavy weight of 239 grams. Even the S25 Ultra weighs more-218 grams.
Z Fold 7 – Durable with a combination of titanium plate
What worries about smartphones that have become more thin is their durability, Samsung referred to this, noting that the external glass in the back and front comes from durable materials, including a standard of IP48 water resistance. The external screen is Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, the back is from Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and the frame from Goriila Glass Victus. The main screen was redesigned with a thin and light structure, but also stronger. This reinforcement has been achieved using a layer of titanium plate layers. In short, this smartphone should know how to deal with falls and scratches.
The smartphone’s axis is also upgraded from durable materials, Samsung calls it – Armor Flexhyinge and is resistant to water drops. When you open the FOLD 7, you discover a larger screen than the previous generation. 8 inch instead of 7.6 inches, mini tablet spring. The screen comes with Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology that offers excellent quality and has a high 2600 rivets.
The external screen in which the user also focuses on his use most of the day, when he does not want to physically open the smartphone past upgrade. The screen is now larger – 6.5 inches compared to 6.3 inches. It also comes AMOLED technology with the same high brightness as the inner screen.
Samsung adjusted its interface and different capabilities for the big screen. For example, when you take pictures and remove objects from the image via AI, you can see the image before and after one to the other. Google’s AI Assistant – Jimini has been adapted to the big screen and she knows how to understand what’s going on and present the content in a proper way. Samsung provides 6 months at no cost to Jimini – Google AI Pro to the device’s purchasers.
Samsung guarantees 7 years of updates for the operating system and another 7 years of security updates. The operating system here is Android 16 with an interface – ONE UI 8.
Z FOLD 7-Samsung-adapted processor with AI match
We get the processor here – Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 ELITE in Samsung devices. This is the same existing processor on the company’s flagship device – S25 ULTRA. The processor here provides an additional 41% over the previous generation (NPU). Apparently, because of the design diet of the device, the battery remained in the same capacity of 4400 millimeters/hour and the thread itself is not fast – 25 watts.
Upgraded camera with a 200 megapixel sensor
Another significant upgrade in FOLD 7 is in the camera cut. This is three better sensors. A 200 -megapixel sensor with double optical zoom 2 (instead of double zoom 3 in the previous generation), 10 megapixo sensor telepatho with double optical zoom 3 and a 12 -megapixel sensor wide. The outer selfie camera is 10 megapixel with a wider 100 -degree photo angle compared to 85 degrees. The inner camera is also 10 megapixel. Samsung says the camera is now processing pictures faster with more sharpness and wealth in colors in pictures and videos.
The video photography at night is also improved, with the camera being able to better identify traffic and thus separate moving objects to still background and reduce the noises thanks to Provisual Engine technology.
Galaxy z Flip 7 – The external screen grows
If the FOLD 7 turns to heavy users looking for a tablet with tablet capabilities, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 turns to a larger massage of consumers, which are looking for a very compact oyster structure that opens with a regular-sized smartphone.
The FLIP 7’s internal screen increases to 6.9 inches compared to 6.7 inches in the previous generation and comes with the successful Dynamic AMOLED 2X display technology. On the 4.1 -inch exterior screen versus 4 inches, Samsung managed to reduce the margins and stretch the monitor itself on almost the entire cover area. This is a high quality monitor with 2600 rivets for convenient viewing in direct sunlight and also a high image refresh rate of 120 Hz. Samsung builds on this, whose users can do almost everything they need in the external monitor, without physically opening the device, so it also adjusted the use of Jimini to this situation.
In terms of durability, it has the same FOLD 7 waterproof axis, the device itself waterproof IP48. The outer screen and the back of the device are protected with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The processor is from Samsung-Exynos 2500, the battery capacity is growing here, from 4,000 millimeters/hour to 4300 millimeters/hour, so improvement is expected while using.
The camera remains with the same sensors, this is a photo of two sensors: 50 megapixel main with double optical zoom 2 and a 12 -megapixel sensor wide. Selfie camera – 10 megapixels. The Provisual Engine technology also exists here.
