Samsung’s July 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event has redefined the foldable experience once again with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. From refined design to cutting-edge AI integration, Samsung’s seventh-generation foldables mark a noticeable leap from their 2024 counterparts.

Let’s dive into the details of both devices, and then break down how they compare to last year’s Fold 6 and Flip 6.

🔥 Galaxy Z Fold 7: Slim, Serious, and Supercharged

The Fold 7 is Samsung’s sleekest book-style foldable yet. Coming in at just 8.9 mm when folded and weighing 215g, it’s notably thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Samsung dropped S Pen support this year, a trade-off in favor of a more compact build and larger internal space.

🚀 Key Upgrades:

• Display: 8.0″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display, 6.5″ cover display with 120Hz refresh rate
• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite for Galaxy”
• Camera: 200MP main camera (up from 50MP last year!)
• Battery: 4,800 mAh
• Software: One UI 8, Android 16 with deep Gemini AI features

✨ Galaxy Z Flip 7: Style Meets Smarts

The Flip 7 remains the fashion-forward foldable, now with a 4.1″ functional cover display (greatly expanded from Flip 6’s 3.4″), and a super bright 6.9″ inner screen pushing 2,600 nits. It’s powered by the Exynos 2500 in most markets, with improved battery and cameras.

📸 Key Upgrades:

• Cover Display: 4.1″ AMOLED
• Main Camera: 50MP (up from 12MP)
• Chipset: Exynos 2500 / Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (region-dependent)
• Battery: 4,300 mAh
• Software: One UI 8 + Gemini AI integration

Some highlights:

• Real-time language transcription on outer display
• Voice-to-text summaries
• Scene-aware camera guidance

✍️ Final Thoughts

Samsung is no longer just iterating — with the Fold 7 and Flip 7, it’s refining what a foldable should be: ultra-portable, highly capable, and seamlessly integrated with AI. The Fold 7’s hardware overhaul and the Flip 7’s bigger brains and battery make both devices worthy upgrades — especially for those using models two generations back.
