Since unveiling the world\u2019s first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users big-screen power in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, that promise comes to life.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung\u2019s thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date.<\/p>\n
Pocket-friendly Proportions<\/p>\n
Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into any pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed.\u00a0 An ultra-high-density circuit board makes sure there is no wasted space internally and Samsung enhanced the battery\u2019s energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of the original Fold, measuring just 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. This 48% reduction combined with a wider, brighter screen and a new 21:9 bar-phone aspect ratio, delivers a foldable device that is both portable and intuitive to use.<\/p>\n
Stronger, Slimmer Hinges<\/p>\n
Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 New alloy components that increase yield strength by over 14% allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.<\/p>\n
Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung\u2019s thinnest FlexHinge yet. It\u2019s 29% slimmer than the hinge on Galaxy Z Flip6 yet still supports full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness.<\/p>\n
Thinner, Stronger Displays<\/p>\n
The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7\u2019s hardware innovations, with a focus on greater durability while ensuring the device is lighter and thinner:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reduced display thickness by more than 39% by completely reoptimizing the panel structure and introducing advanced materials.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for 64% improved durability and better resistance.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Achieved a slimmer profile by redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.<\/p>\n
With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series\u2019 iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, a 68% reduction that makes Galaxy Z Flip7 the world\u2019s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.<\/p>\n

Pro Cameras, Optimized for Potability<\/p>\n
Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable that\u2019s made possible by a new thin Actuator and a complete structural redesign.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The camera module shrunk by 18% and ran nearly 30,000 simulations, culminating in the thinnest 200 MP camera on a foldable device that doesn\u2019t sacrifice image quality.<\/p>\n
On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been reengineered from the ground up, delivering flagship image quality in a slimmer housing. To achieve a thinner design while maintaining high performance, Samsung streamlined the internal structure of the entire module, incorporating a smaller actuator to ensure high-performance autofocus with less bulk.<\/p>\n
Tougher Materials, Lighter Feel<\/p>\n
Samsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7\u2019s thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass Ceramic 2 , making it 30% stronger\u00a0 in material strength than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum , a material that is 10% tougher\u00a0 than the Armor Aluminum previous used in Galaxy Z Fold6.<\/p>\n
The Bottom Line<\/p>\n
Every hinge, display layer and camera component inside Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 was redesigned for one purpose: give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone.<\/p>\n
