Display and Design: Bigger, Brighter, and Slimmer
Samsung has made its most significant design leap yet with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. When unfolded, the device measures just 4.2mm thick—a dramatic reduction from the Z Fold 6’s 5.6mm. Even when closed, it’s slimmer than many traditional smartphones at 8.9mm. This is particularly impressive considering the device’s massive 8-inch internal screen and wider 6.5-inch cover screen, both of which support dynamic 1-120Hz refresh rates and high peak brightness (up to 2,600 nits).
Weighing just 215 grams, it’s also lighter than Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 Ultra (218g), despite being physically larger and more complex in form factor. Durability hasn’t been compromised either—the Z Fold 7 features Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a refined Armor Aluminum frame, and Samsung’s redesigned Armor FlexHinge.
Camera Upgrades: A Leap to 200 Megapixels
The headline feature this year is the new 200MP main camera, replacing the 50MP sensor from last year’s model. This sensor promises dramatically improved resolution and detail, though real-world performance remains to be tested.
The triple rear camera setup includes:
-
200MP f/1.7 main sensor
-
12MP ultra-wide with 120° FOV
-
10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom
The front-facing setup also gets a boost, now offering dual 10MP punch-hole cameras instead of the previous under-display 4MP sensor.
New AI-enhanced tools such as “Suggested Erases” and an updated ProVisual Engine streamline photo editing and boost image processing efficiency.
Performance and Software: Flagship-Level Processing Power
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with Qualcomm’s most powerful mobile platform to date the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. Paired with up to 16GB of RAM (exclusive to the 1TB model), this configuration ensures top-tier performance across multitasking, gaming, and productivity apps.
The device launches with One UI 8, Samsung’s latest software interface based on Android 16. Key additions include foldable-optimized features and a multi-screen adaptation of Google Gemini, enhancing split-screen and multitasking usability.
Battery Life: No Bigger, but Smarter
Samsung retained the 4,400mAh battery capacity from the Fold 6, but claims longer endurance thanks to improved power efficiency from both the new chipset and software. The Z Fold 7 is rated for up to 24 hours of battery life slightly more than the previous generation.
Charging capabilities remain unchanged with 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless support.
Final Thoughts: Premium Pricing Meets Ultra Ambition
While Samsung didn’t give it the official “Ultra” branding, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 feels like an Ultra device in everything but name. From its enhanced camera system and high-end internals to its ultra-slim design and expanded displays, this is the most refined foldable Samsung has produced yet.
At a base price of $1,999, it’s undeniably expensive—but for those seeking the pinnacle of foldable phone technology in 2025, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 delivers a compelling package that justifies its premium status.
