Samsung is set to unveil its seventh-generation foldable smartphones today at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York. The highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 promise to be the thinnest, lightest, and most durable foldables Samsung has ever produced. Additionally, a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model is rumored to join the lineup.
Refining the Foldable Experience
Since launching the first Galaxy Z Fold in 2019, Samsung has aimed to blend smartphone portability with tablet-like productivity. Despite the innovation, foldables have remained a niche market, largely due to their premium pricing and concerns over durability.
Samsung’s engineering teams have focused on addressing these issues by making each generation slimmer, lighter, and more robust. Early reports suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will measure just 4.2mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded, with a weight of approximately 216 grams—making it one of the lightest book-style foldables available. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to be thinner and will feature a larger 4.1-inch cover screen for enhanced usability.
Camera and AI Innovations
Samsung is teasing significant camera upgrades for the new foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may incorporate camera technology inspired by the Galaxy S25 Ultra, bringing flagship-grade imaging capabilities to the foldable lineup for the first time. This could elevate the photography experience on foldables to new heights.
Furthermore, Samsung will continue to integrate its Galaxy AI platform, designed to transform how users interact with their devices. This AI integration aims to go beyond standard features, offering smarter, more intuitive device usage.
How to Watch and Pre-Order
The Galaxy Unpacked event will be streamed live on Samsung’s and Samsung India’s YouTube channels starting at 7:30 PM IST. Samsung has already opened pre-reservations for the foldables at a refundable fee of Rs. 1999. Customers who pre-order will also receive vouchers worth up to Rs. 5999, adding extra value to early purchases.
