Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 at the Unpacked event (July 9), reinforcing the brand’s pioneering position in the premium foldable phone sector. 2025 witnesses remarkable advancements in ultra-thin design, superior performance, and deep integration of Google Gemini Live, which is expected to completely transform how users interact with foldable devices.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 – Ultra-thin design, superior performance, enhanced 200 MP camera
The Galaxy Z Fold7 brings significant design improvements: a thickness of only 8.9 mm when folded, 4.2 mm when unfolded, and a weight of just 215 g, nearly equivalent to standard smartphones like the S25 Ultra. The cover screen is a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with a 21:9 ratio, while the main display reaches up to 8 inches, 11% larger than the previous version. The Armor Flex Hinge combined with the Armor Aluminium frame and Ceramic Glass 2 enhances durability while maintaining a slim and lightweight profile.
The Z Fold7 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, 12–16 GB RAM, up to 1 TB of storage, and a 4,400 mAh battery, providing up to 24 hours of continuous video playback. The camera system stands out with a 200 MP main camera, supporting 3x optical zoom, a 12 MP ultra-wide lens, a 10 MP selfie camera, along with computational photography features, 10-bit HDR video, and “Audio Eraser” noise reduction technology. The software runs on Android 16 with the One UI 8 interface, optimized for multitasking, and integrates Galaxy AI features such as Writing Assist, Transcript Assist, as well as Circle to Search while gaming.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 – Larger cover screen, powerful battery, DeX integration
The Galaxy Z Flip7 brings significant upgrades with a 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover screen (up from 3.4 inches last year), brightness up to 2,600 nits, and support for interaction with Google Gemini Live even when the device is folded. The main display is 6.9 inches, utilizing the Exynos 2500 chip, a 4,300 mAh battery (a 7% increase over the Flip6), and supports 25W fast charging and wireless charging.
The Flip7 features Samsung DeX integration for the first time, allowing the phone to transform into a computer when connected to an external monitor, enhancing multitasking and presentation capabilities. While the camera hasn’t received as massive an upgrade as the Fold7, it has improved thanks to AI-assisted portrait photography, lighting adjustment, and real-time filters.
Overview – Pricing and development prospects of the foldable phone lineup
Both products will begin pre-orders and officially go on sale from July 25, 2025 in many markets, with starting prices: Z Fold7 from 1,999 USD (~47,000,000 VND), Z Flip7 from 1,099 USD (~29,000,000 VND), and a more affordable Z Flip7 FE version starting from 899 USD (~21,000,000 VND). High price points and durability concerns remain challenges for some users, but factors such as the slim and lightweight foldable design, AI integration, premium cameras, and versatility (such as DeX and dual screens) highlight the potential for foldable phones to become a mainstream trend in the near future. Specifically, the Z Fold7 could become a daily driver thanks to its thinness, lightness, and powerful performance, while the Z Flip7 offers a creative, portable, and multitasking experience at a more accessible price point.
