Samsung Unveils Sleek Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, Introduces Budget-Friendly Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

At its Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York, Samsung took a bold step into the next chapter of foldables by unveiling three new devices: the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. These launches mark a renewed effort by Samsung to reclaim leadership in the foldable segment, introducing innovations in design, portability, and performance.

Galaxy Z Fold 7: Thinner, Lighter, More Capable

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 stands out as the slimmest and lightest Fold Samsung has ever built. Weighing just 215g, it is 24g lighter than the Fold 6 and even lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. When folded, it measures only 8.9mm, making it feel more compact and easier to carry.

Key hardware upgrades include:

• 8-inch inner foldable display

• 6.5-inch external screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio

• Replaced under-display camera with a 10MP hole-punch camera

• 200MP main camera, borrowed from the S25 Edge

• Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor

• Up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage

• 4,400mAh battery with 25W wired and wireless charging

The device is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. The Armor Flex hinge and aluminum frame boost durability, while the IP48 rating ensures resistance to water splashes and small dust particles.

Galaxy Z Flip 7: Big on Display, Slim on Build

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 introduces significant changes to improve usability and appeal. It now sports a thinner body at 6.5mm when unfolded, and the main display is increased to 6.9 inches. On the outside, Samsung has redesigned the cover screen, expanding it to a 4.1-inch panel that wraps around the dual cameras for a more immersive experience.

Internally, the phone runs on:

• Exynos 2500 processor

• 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage

• 4,300mAh battery

• Cameras: 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP selfie camera

Like the Fold 7, it features IP48 water and dust resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and an aluminum chassis for added strength.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Affordable Entry into the Foldable Lineup

To make foldables more accessible, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It shares much of its design with last year’s Flip 6 but brings notable internal changes. Powered by the Exynos 2400, it includes:

• 8GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage

• 4,000mAh battery

• Similar foldable experience at a more affordable price

This model is aimed at users looking to enter the foldable category without breaking the bank.
