š± Samsungās Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 Are Hereāand Theyāre Looking Better Than Ever
Samsung Galaxy just took the stage at its big Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York, and the spotlight was all on its latest foldables: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. If youāve been waiting for foldable phones to finally feel like real contenders, this might be the moment. With sleeker designs, smarter AI features, and a more polished overall feel, Samsungās newest foldables are clearly built for everyday useānot just for showing off.
āFoldable phones arenāt just flashy tech toys anymore. Samsungās proving theyāve maturedāand in 2025, itās not about catching up to anyone. Theyāre setting the pace.ā
š Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Apple: Pulling Ahead While Apple Stays on the Sidelines
Apple might still be holding back on foldables, but Samsung is charging full speed aheadāand the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 prove just how far the technology has come.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is getting noticed for its super slim profile. Samsung borrowed some sleek design cues from the Galaxy S25 Edgeārefined, compact, and super comfortable in the hand when folded.
Flip it open and youāve got a tablet-sized screen ready for multitasking, media, or work.
Meanwhile, the Z Flip 7 gets a practical upgrade. The Flex Window, Samsungās improved cover display, is now larger and more functional. You can check messages, glance at your calendar, or interact with appsāall without flipping the phone open.
š Big Displays, Small Footprints: Slimmer Foldables That Do More One of the biggest concerns about foldables has always been size. But the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows that ābig screenā doesnāt have to mean ābig phone.ā
Folded, itās just 8.9mm thickāabout the same as the GalaxyĀ S25Ā Ultra.
Unfolded, itās a slim 4.2mm on each side, yet still offers a full 8-inch display (up from 7.6 inches).
Whether youāre watching Netflix, switching between apps, or doing quick spreadsheet edits, that extra screen space makes a real difference.
As for the Z Flip 7, it keeps things compact and stylishāideal for users who want premium features without the bulk.
š¤ Smarter Smartphones: Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Z Flip 7 AI Features Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, Samsung is putting AI front and center in a way that actually helps users.
Both phones include Googleās Gemini assistant and Samsungās own AI tools.
Whether itās organizing your schedule, summarizing long messages, or boosting your photo edits, these tools are designed to simplify your day.
That said, itās not just about AI. People still care about real improvementsābetter battery life, thinner designs, and sharper camerasāand Samsung delivers.
šø Cameras That Compete with the Best Flagships Samsung isnāt holding back when it comes to mobile photography. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera setup includes:
A 200MP wide-angle main camera
A 12MP ultra-wide sensor
A 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
These arenāt just nice specs on paperātheyāre designed for real-world use, from vlogging and social content to mobile pro-level shooting.
š° The Price Barrier: Can Everyone Afford Foldables Yet? Letās face it: pricing is still a major hurdle.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 price: $1,099
Galaxy ZĀ FoldĀ 7 price: $1,999
Thatās a steep investment for most people. While Samsungās foldables are now more refined and practical than ever, the high cost might still keep everyday users from making the switch. But if youāve been holding out, this may finally be the generation worth buying.
š Tech World on Edge: Could Global Tensions Impact Samsungās Momentum?
While Samsung was busy showing off its latest tech, something else was brewing: trade tension. Former President Trump signed an executive order delaying his reciprocal tariffs until August 1. If these go through, it could have big implications for companies like Samsung.
Trump warned that countries like South Korea (Samsungās home base) could face 25% tariffs if no deals are reached.
Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management called it, ātwo steps forward, one step backā for the tech industry.
š Good news: U.S.-China tariffs are still on hold, so prices on most tech products remain stableāfor now.
š What This Means for Consumers
If tariffs do take effect, it could mean price hikes on tech products later this year. Smartphones, smart TVs, and even appliances from brands like Samsung, Sony, and LG could all see retail price increases. So if youāre eyeing a new deviceāespecially one as premium as the Z Fold 7 or Z Flip 7ābuying sooner might save you money.
š Final Thoughts: Are Samsung Foldables Ready for the Mainstream?
hereās no denying it anymoreāthe Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are the most complete, practical foldable phones Samsung has ever made.
Theyāre no longer just futuristic experiments. Theyāre real, usable smartphones built for work, play, and everything in between. Yes, the price is highābut for the first time, the performance, the experience, and the polish feel worth the cost.
Still, challenges remain. Global market instability, potential tariffs, and competition will test how far foldables can go. But right now? Samsung is leading the foldable revolution, and these two devices are a strong sign of whatās to come.
