What’s New in Galaxy Z Fold7
After six years of refinement since the 2019 debut, Samsung’s latest foldable targets three critical areas:
| Improvement Area | Expected Enhancement |
|---|---|
| Design | Thinnest and lightest form factor |
| Durability | Enhanced build quality and longevity |
| Camera System | Galaxy S25 Ultra-level photography |
| AI Features | Advanced Galaxy AI integration |
Camera Gets Major Upgrade
The biggest game-changer? Samsung’s bringing Galaxy S25 Ultra camera technology to the Z Fold7. This marks the first time a flagship-level camera system lands on a foldable device, eliminating a major pain point for photography enthusiasts.
TM Roh, Samsung’s Device eXperience Division head, will showcase these “more powerful, dynamic and immersive” camera capabilities during today’s Brooklyn Convention Centre event.
Galaxy AI Takes Center Stage
Samsung’s doubling down on artificial intelligence with enhanced Galaxy AI features. The company promises breakthrough hardware supporting a new AI-powered interface that goes beyond traditional device interactions.
Why This Launch Matters
Foldable smartphones remain a niche market despite their innovation. High prices and durability concerns have limited adoption. Samsung’s addressing these barriers head-on with the Z Fold7’s improvements.
The foldable category launched with the original Galaxy Z Fold in 2019, promising smartphone portability with tablet productivity. Six generations later, Samsung’s refinements could finally make foldables mainstream-ready.
Brooklyn Launch Strategy
Samsung chose Brooklyn for its cultural significance – a hub of creativity and collaboration that mirrors the innovative spirit of foldable technology. The location reflects Samsung’s vision of foldables as creativity tools, not just premium gadgets.
