\nEver since Samsung created the foldable category by unveiling the first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users large screens in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, Galaxy foldable devices have again not only exceeded that goal but set a new standard for mobile foldable innovation.<\/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
\nGalaxy Z Flip7 slides into your pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed. 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
\nMeanwhile, 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

Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include:<\/p>\n
\n\tThinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.
\n\tNew alloy components that increase yield strength by over 14% allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.
\n\tSeparate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility.
\n\tA wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.

\nGalaxy 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

\nThe 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: \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tReduced display thickness by more than 39% by completely reoptimizing the panel structure and introducing advanced materials.
\n\tTitanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for 64% improved durability and better resistance.
\n\tAchieved a slimmer profile by redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity.
\n\tUltra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.
<\/p>\n
\nWith Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series\u2019 iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tA new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.
\n\tThe HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.
\n\tThe 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.

Pro Cameras, Optimized for Potability
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nGalaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.<\/p>\n
\n\tFirst 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable that\u2019s made possible by a new thin actuator and a complete structural redesign.
\n\tThe 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
<\/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\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nSamsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7\u2019s thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning\u00ae Gorilla\u00ae Glass Ceramic 21, making it 30% stronger2\u00a0in material strength than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum3, a material that is 10% tougher4 than the Armor Aluminum previous used in Galaxy Z Fold6.<\/p>\n
The Bottom Line<\/p>\n
\nEvery 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
Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.<\/p>\n
