  • [Galaxy Unpacked 2025] Galaxy Z Fold7 Revealed: A New Chapter in Foldable Innovation

    [Galaxy Unpacked 2025] Galaxy Z Fold7 Revealed: A New Chapter in Foldable Innovation

    At Galaxy Unpacked 2025, held in Brooklyn, Samsung Electronics officially introduced the Galaxy Z Fold7, marking yet another milestone in the evolution of foldable smartphones. As the thinnest and lightest model in the Fold series to date, the Galaxy Z Fold7 combines sophisticated hardware refinement with powerful new AI capabilities and camera enhancements, pushing the boundaries of what a foldable phone can offer.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 measures just 4.2 millimeters when unfolded and 8.9 millimeters when folded, weighing only 215 grams. Despite housing a cover screen and a complex hinge mechanism, the device feels remarkably slim even thinner than a typical passport or card wallet and is more comfortable than ever to carry. This compactness is achieved without sacrificing durability, thanks to the newly developed Armor FlexHinge. The upgraded hinge design not only maintains structural integrity but also significantly minimizes the visibility of the crease along the folding display.

    Photography takes a major leap forward with the Galaxy Z Fold7, which features the series’ first 200-megapixel main camera. This is a massive upgrade from the previous 50MP sensor, offering four times the detail for crisp, vibrant images. With the integration of Samsung’s AI-powered ProVisual Engine, users can enjoy enhanced sharpness, better color accuracy, and more dynamic low-light performance through Nightography. The front camera now boasts a wider 100-degree field of view, making it easier to capture wide-angle selfies and group shots while fully utilizing the expansive display.

    Samsung’s latest foldable also introduces a new AI experience through One UI 8, bringing contextual awareness into everyday usage. Through a collaboration with Google’s Gemini Live, users can engage in real-time conversations with an AI assistant that understands the content displayed on the screen. Whether identifying an unfamiliar dish in a photo or suggesting nearby restaurants and setting calendar reminders, Gemini performs tasks fluidly without requiring users to switch between apps. The multitasking capabilities of the Galaxy Z Fold7 enhance this feature even further, enabling users to display two apps side by side and receive AI-driven insights that consider both screens simultaneously. This multimodal interaction through text, voice, image, and camera input makes the Galaxy Z Fold7 not only intelligent, but intuitive in the way it supports daily tasks.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond incremental updates, representing a full reimagining of mobile experiences. With a premium design, cutting-edge hardware, advanced AI features, and an industry-leading camera system, the Fold7 delivers on Samsung’s promise of an ultra-premium device that fits seamlessly into modern life.

    Malaysian customers will be able to purchase the Galaxy Z Fold7, along with the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE, starting 1 August 2025 at Samsung.com and participating retail stores. Pre-orders are available now until 31 July 2025, with prices starting from RM3,999. Customers who pre-order can also enjoy added protection through Samsung Care+, which covers accidental damage, repairs, and replacements for greater peace of mind.

  • Samsung Unveils Sleek and Powerful Galaxy Z Fold6 with Enhanced AI Features

    Samsung Unveils Sleek and Powerful Galaxy Z Fold6 with Enhanced AI Features

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, introduced at Galaxy Unpacked 2024, combines advanced technology with a foldable form factor that allows its large screen to fold and unfold seamlessly.

    With a sleek design, enhanced features, and Galaxy AI tailored for foldable devices, the Z Fold6 promises to boost user productivity while maintaining its durability in a more compact and lightweight build.

    Main Display: The Galaxy Z Fold6’s main display stands out with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in direct sunlight. Vision Booster technology optimizes the color and contrast based on different lighting conditions, providing a superior visual experience.

    Wing Plate: A key component, the wing plate, enables the smooth folding and unfolding of the device. Positioned between the hinge and display, it aligns the internal components and shields the screen from potential mechanical damage. Though ultra-thin, the wing plate is constructed from a strong material that ensures stability during operation.

    Hinge: The hinge acts as the central axis, allowing the phone to fold and unfold efficiently. As foldable devices become slimmer, the need for advanced hinge technology grows. The Galaxy Z Fold6 features a smaller, slimmer hinge that maintains durability thanks to reinforced materials. This improvement has enabled Samsung to design an ultra-portable device that is easy to carry anywhere.

    Front Case: The front case of the Z Fold6 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor but retains its strength, made from Enhanced Armor Aluminum to protect the internal components. The device is also IP48-rated, making it resistant to water, so users can safely use the Z Fold6 in rainy conditions.

    Vapor Chamber: To prevent overheating, the Galaxy Z Fold6 is equipped with a vapor chamber that is approximately 1.6 times larger than that of the Galaxy Z Fold5. This larger vapor chamber helps diffuse heat more effectively, allowing the device to maintain optimal performance.

    Main Battery: A slimmer main battery has been installed in the Galaxy Z Fold6 to accommodate its sleek design. Unlike traditional bar-type smartphones, the Z Fold6’s main battery is split into two parts to fit the device’s form factor.

    Sub Battery: Located opposite the main battery, the sub battery was also reduced in size to support the slim profile of the Galaxy Z Fold6.

    Main PBA: The printed board assembly (PBA) serves as the brain of the device, housing key components like the application processor and memory. To achieve a thinner design, Samsung transitioned from a multilayer to a single-layer main PBA.

    Sub PBA: The sub PBA manages the display and speaker operations. Samsung utilized a slim printed circuit board (PCB) for the sub PBA to maintain the device’s thin profile.

    Back Cover: The final stage of the manufacturing process involves the back cover, which protects the internal components and complements the phone’s sleek aesthetic. Made from Corning’s Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, the back cover ensures that the device is both durable and stylish.

    Sub Display: Offering a more balanced, horizontally wider screen ratio, the sub display on the Galaxy Z Fold6 greatly improves the usability of the foldable device. Even when folded, users can enjoy a comfortable viewing experience. Like the main display, the sub display reaches up to 2,600 nits of brightness, ensuring visibility even in bright daylight.

    Through these innovations, the Galaxy Z Fold6 sets a new standard for foldable smartphones, delivering an unparalleled combination of durability, portability, and cutting-edge technology. To purchase the Galaxy Z Fold6, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/my/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold6/buy
