Galaxy Z Fold 7 Premiere – when and what to expect?
On July 9, 2025, Samsung will officially present the latest foldable smartphones – including the long-awaited Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Galaxy Unpacked event will take place in New York, and pre-orders will start on the same day. The first units are expected to reach customers between July 23 and July 25, 2025.
After the success of Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung is not slowing down and is launching the Galaxy Z Fold 7 – an even slimmer, lighter, and more technologically advanced device. What exactly has changed? Is it worth switching to the new model? Here is a detailed comparison of both foldable smartphones.
What does the Galaxy Z Fold 7 look like?
Specific changes in design and screens
One of the most noticeable differences between Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the refreshed design and new construction. Z Fold 7 has become the thinnest and lightest foldable smartphone from Samsung in history.
- Thickness when unfolded: about 4.2 mm (Fold 7) vs about 5.8 mm (Fold 6)
- Thickness when folded: about 8.9 mm (Fold 7) vs about 13.4 mm (Fold 6)
- Weight: Fold 7 is expected to be lighter (approx. 239 g) compared to 253 g in Fold 6.
The new model not only fits better in the hand but also looks more elegant and modern. Samsung has also improved the hinge, which is now slimmer and more durable.
Better AMOLED screens in Galaxy Z Fold 7 – larger size and greater durability
Another major change is the screens. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 features a new generation of AMOLED displays with higher durability and less curvature in the middle. This significantly affects user comfort and visual experience.
- Main screen: 8.0–8.2 inches AMOLED 120 Hz (Fold 7) vs 7.6 inches AMOLED 120 Hz (Fold 6)
- External screen: 6.5 inches AMOLED 120 Hz (Fold 7) vs 6.2 inches AMOLED 120 Hz (Fold 6)
As a result, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers a larger and more useful screen both when unfolded and externally.
What is the performance of the Galaxy Z Fold 7?
Processor, RAM, and storage compared to Galaxy Z Fold 6
The new Galaxy Z Fold 7 not only features visual changes but also a significant performance improvement. Samsung has equipped it with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which offers more power and better energy efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy found in the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
As a result, users can expect faster app performance, smoother window switching, and better performance in gaming and AI tasks.
More RAM and the same amount of internal storage
Galaxy Z Fold 7 also boasts a larger amount of RAM:
- Options available: 12 GB or 16 GB RAM
- In Fold 6, only the 12 GB RAM option was available.
As for internal storage, Samsung has retained the familiar options:
- 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB – the same as in Galaxy Z Fold 6.
In everyday use, this means better management of multiple open applications and a more future-proof approach to handling AI features.
Does the Galaxy Z Fold 7 have a better camera than Z Fold 6?
200 MP in Galaxy Z Fold 7 – the biggest quality leap in Fold history
One of the biggest innovations in Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the completely new main camera with a resolution of 200 MP – the same sensor found in the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 featured a 50 MP main camera.
The result? Fold 7 allows for sharper, more detailed photos, especially in challenging lighting conditions. It is supported by Galaxy AI Pro algorithms and the ProVisual Engine, which enhance colors, reduce noise, and improve details.
Ultrawide and telephoto without major changes, but with better image processing
- Ultrawide camera: 12 MP (no change)
- Telephoto: 10 MP with 3x optical zoom (no change)
- Under-display camera: improved in Fold 7 – Samsung has enhanced sharpness and contrast, although the exact resolution has not been disclosed
Thanks to AI support, night photos, portraits, and digital zoom are expected to look significantly better than in the predecessor.
What is the battery like in Galaxy Z Fold 7?
Comparison with Galaxy Z Fold 6
In terms of battery, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not bring a revolution – just like its predecessor, it is equipped with a 4400 mAh cell. This is the same value we know from the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
However, thanks to the more energy-efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor and optimizations in One UI 8, the new model is expected to offer longer battery life on a single charge, especially when using AI features and multitasking.
Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 more durable than the Galaxy Z Fold 6?
New IP48 resistance class and better durability of Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung has focused on improving the resistance and durability of the construction in the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The new model offers an IP48 certification, which means better protection against dust and splashes compared to the previous IPX8 in the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
While Fold 6 had better water resistance (immersion), it was less protected against fine dust, which can be significant for foldable phones.
Improved hinge and stronger materials
The Z Fold 7 also features a new hinge design that is:
- thinner,
- more resistant to bending,
- more resistant to dust and micro-contaminants.
Samsung has also improved the protective layers of the display, making the main screen of Fold 7 better withstand daily use, bending, and pressure.
What new features and AI does Galaxy Z Fold 7 have?
Software comparison with Galaxy Z Fold 6
Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuts with the latest Android 16 and One UI 8, while Galaxy Z Fold 6</strong; launched with Android 14 and One UI 6. This means the new model offers more AI features and longer update support.
Samsung promises a minimum of 7 years of system and security updates – more than the older model.
New Galaxy AI Pro features in Fold 7
In the Galaxy Z Fold 7 we find a set of new AI-based tools that were not available in Z Fold 6:
- AI Portrait – intelligent enhancement of portrait photos
- Nightography 2.0 – better night photos thanks to AI
- ProVisual Engine – automatic optimization of photos and videos

All of this makes using the Fold 7 more intuitive and tailored to the user’s daily needs.
