The Breakthroughs Powering Samsung’s Thinnest, Most Refined Foldables
Since unveiling the world’s 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.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung’s thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date.
Pocket-friendly Proportions
Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into any 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’s energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness.
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.
Smarter, Slimmer Hinges
Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include:
Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.
New alloy components that increase yield strength to allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.
Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility.
A wingplate that opens wider delivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.
Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung’s thinnest FlexHinge yet. It’s slimmer than the hinge on Galaxy Z Flip6 yet still supports full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness.
Brighter, Stronger Displays
The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7’s hardware innovations, with a focus on greater durability while ensuring the device is lighter and thinner:
Titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for better resistance.
Achieved a slimmer profile by redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity.
Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thicker than the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.
With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series’ iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:
A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.
The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.
The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, making the Galaxy Z Flip7 the world’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.
Pro Cameras, Zero Bulk
Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.
First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldable that’s made possible by a new thin actuator and a complete structural redesign.
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.
Tougher Materials, Lighter Feel
Samsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7’s thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, making it 30% stronger than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum, which is 10% tougher than the previous generation.
The Bottom Line
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.
Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.
