Following the Honor Magic V5, Samsung just dropped the Galaxy Z Fold7, and it’s thinner, lighter, and smarter than its previous iterations. It’s built for multitaskers, power users, and anyone tired of jumping between apps on tiny screens. This thing folds like a book but works like a beast.
UAE Availability and Pricing
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is available for pre-order at AED 7,599 from July 9 and in stores from July 25. That price is for the 256GB version, but during pre-orders, Samsung is doubling the storage to 512GB. You can also get a 1TB version for AED 8,724. It comes in Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet Black, and an online-exclusive Mint.
Samsung Care+ is available for coverage of damage and repair. Additionally, Galaxy Fold7 users receive six months of Google AI Pro and 2TB of cloud storage for free.
Lighter in Hand, Bigger on Features
Samsung made the Z Fold7 its thinnest and lightest foldable so far. But don’t let the size fool you. When folded, it works like a regular smartphone. Unfold it, and you’ve got a mini workstation.
- Just 215g in weight, lighter than the S25 Ultra
- 8.9mm thick when folded, 4.2mm when open
- 6.5-inch AMOLED cover screen, now wider at 21:9
- 8-inch AMOLED main screen with 11% more display area
The cover screen is excellent for quick tasks. Unfolding gives you more space to edit, multitask, or binge-watch with 2,600 nits brightness, so it’s still clear in sunlight.
Built Tough for Everyday Use
Samsung didn’t just shrink the phone; it reinforced it too. From the hinge to the screen, it’s designed to last.
- New Armour FlexHinge with a stronger, lighter design
- Cover screen made with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2
- Advanced Armour aluminium frame and hinge
- Thicker Ultra-Thin Glass with a titanium plate under the main screen
So whether you’re flipping it open 100 times a day or just tossing it in your bag, the Fold7 is made to handle it.
Real AI, Right On the Device
The Fold7 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, customised for Galaxy. It handles AI tasks, such as real-time translation and generative photo editing, without requiring the cloud.
- 41% faster NPU, 38% faster CPU, 26% faster GPU
- Gemini Live: show your screen or camera and ask questions
- Circle to Search: get instant answers in games or apps
- Drag & drop AI content between apps in Multi Window mode
It features One UI 8 on top of Android 16, designed to take advantage of the foldable screen and run AI tools side by side.
A Serious Camera Setup
The Fold7 brings Samsung’s 200MP camera to a foldable for the first time. You also get smart editing tools that make your shots look like they were done in a studio.
- 200MP wide-angle main camera
- 10MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom
- 10MP selfie camera on the cover, 10MP inside
- Night video with motion separation to reduce noise
- ProVisual Engine and Generative Edit tools
You can erase objects, adjust angles, and even get suggestions to remove photo bombers with “Suggest Erases.”
The Bottom Line
If you want a foldable for daily use, the Z Fold7 finally delivers. It’s light, strong, smart and useful. The AI features aren’t gimmicks—they’re baked into how the phone works.
