🎨 Design & Build Quality

• The Z Fold 7 is the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold ever — just 4.2 mm unfolded and 8.9 mm folded, weighing only 215 g.

• Built with Advanced Armor Aluminum — 10% stronger than previous generations — for the frame and hinge housing.

• The new Armor FlexHinge uses a water droplet design and multi-rail structure to significantly reduce the visible crease on the inner display.

• The inner display features a titanium lattice layer combined with thicker glass and new adhesives for improved durability.

• Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the cover screen and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the rear for best-in-class protection.

• Rated IP48: protected against particulates and water immersion up to 1.5m for 30 minutes.

• Hinge rated for 200,000 folds — equivalent to over 54 folds per day for 10 years.

• Available in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow — plus exclusive Mint on Samsung.com.

🖥️ Dual Display Experience

• Inner display: 8.0-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X — the largest in Z Fold history, 11% bigger than Z Fold 6, at 2184 × 1968 resolution (368 ppi).

• Cover display: 6.5-inch AMOLED 2X with a new 21:9 aspect ratio — as wide and comfortable as a conventional smartphone when folded.

• Both displays reach 2,600 nits peak brightness for brilliant visibility even in direct sunlight.

• 1Hz–120Hz adaptive LTPO on the inner screen saves battery on static content and smooths gaming and scrolling on demand.

• Flex Mode activates at 75–115° hinge angle, splitting compatible apps into control and content halves.

• Multi-Window support lets you run up to three apps simultaneously on the 8.0" inner canvas.

• The under-display camera (UDC) is nearly invisible, preserving full screen real estate when consuming content.
