Samsung has today officially announced its latest foldable smartphone – the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The new Galaxy Fold brings even more updates and improvements to the Z Fold 6 from last year.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Specs
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs in a 6.5-inch display on the outside along with an 8-inch display on the inside. Samsung has opted for the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset here, and it’s paired with 12GB/16GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of internal storage.
It also gets Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for display protection. The Z Fold 7 comes with a triple rear camera setup, with a 200MP primary sensor, and an ultra-wide and telephoto lens.
It will also get One UI 8 out of the box, as it should.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Design
In terms of design, the main idea behind the phone remains the same, obviously — it’s a foldable phone that folds out into a big, almost tablet sized device. This time around though, Samsung has made it even thinner at just 4.2mm when it’s unfolded, and 8.9mm when folded.
It’s also considerably light, at just 216g, which is an impressive weight for a foldable smartphone. Plus, the outer screen is wider this time around, so it can be used like a normal phone when you don’t want to unfold it.
It also gets IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, and Samsung is no longer putting an in-display camera. Instead, the company has put a 10MP selfie camera in a punch-hole cutout in the display.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Price and Availability
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is priced at a whopping $1999 in the US, which is an insane number, even though this is definitely a pretty big upgrade over the Z Fold 6. You can pre-order the phone today itself, and it will go on sale from July 25.
