Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduced the Galaxy Z Flip7 today, a compact foldable smartphone that combines a larger edge-to-edge cover display with enhanced AI features. The device aims to deliver more functionality in a pocket-friendly form, making it easier to stay connected, capture photos, and multitask.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung’s largest FlexWindow yet, spanning 4.1 inches across the front. It allows users to send quick messages, check schedules, and take selfies without opening the device. The display reaches up to 2,600 nits of brightness and supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for clear visibility outdoors.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces a more useful, one-handed experience with its improved cover screen and smarter Galaxy AI.

Weighing just 188 grams and folding down to 13.7mm, the Flip7 is slimmer than earlier versions but comes with the largest battery yet in the series, offering up to 31 hours of video playback. Durability is improved with a redesigned hinge, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the cover and back, and an Armor Aluminum frame.
