SEOUL, June 05 (AJP) - Samsung Electronics plans to unveil the latest iteration of its foldable smartphone line, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, in early July.
The forthcoming model is being positioned on par with its flagship Galaxy S Ultra series. Samsung says the device will feature upgraded hardware, advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, and a refined user experience — hallmarks traditionally reserved for its most premium offerings.
In a blog post, Samsung provided a first look at the device through a teaser video showing the Z Fold’s glowing silhouette. The clip emphasized the phone’s dual-screen design and portability, signaling Samsung’s intention to blend cutting-edge form with everyday function.
"Users want a bigger screen, better cameras, stronger performance, more diverse connections and creative tools in one hand," the company wrote. "We present an ‘Ultra experience’ that newly defines daily interactions."
Among the expected features are a larger 8.2-inch internal display and a 6.5-inch cover screen, modest increases over the previous generation. The Z Fold 7 is also projected to be Samsung’s slimmest foldable to date, with an unfolded thickness between 3.9 and 4.54 millimeters — down from 5.6 mm on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The device will ship with Android 16 and include upgrades to both build quality and software performance. Samsung said it has further optimized the foldable format using AI to enhance tasks such as messaging, web browsing, and mobile gaming.
The global launch is scheduled for Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event in New York City, the company’s first major product unveiling in the city since 2022. At that time, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4.
