Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 to debut with One UI 8: Top AI features to look out for
Built specifically for foldables, One UI 8 is more than just a version update. It reimagines how users interact with large-screen devices, combining context-aware AI, multimodal assistance, and next-level multitasking in a seamless way.
Here's a look at the top One UI 8 features that elevate the Galaxy Z Fold 7 into a powerhouse.
Smarter sound with enhanced Audio Eraser
If you shoot videos on your Fold, this one's for you. The Audio Eraser tool is now deeply integrated into the Gallery and powered by enhanced AI. With a single tap, it can detect and remove background noise, whether it's traffic, wind, or crowd chatter — saving you time and improving your content quality without the need for third-party apps.
Gemini Live: Multimodal AI built for the big screen
With the Z Fold 7, Google's Gemini Live takes full advantage of the foldable's expansive display. It now features multimodal understanding, which means the AI can process what's on your screen or seen via your camera, and respond with real-time, context-rich information.
Even better, screen sharing with Gemini allows you to simply point to something, ask a question, and get answers instantly — whether you're planning a trip, analysing a document, or shopping online.
Circle to Search
The fan-favourite Circle to Search feature is now enhanced with an AI mode that's especially tuned for the large display. Not only can you circle an image or object to learn more, but One UI 8 adds a new "Dive Deeper" function — giving you layered, follow-up results and smart suggestions.
Gamers, rejoice: this feature is now optimised for in-game use on the Fold 7. Circle any in-game item — a puzzle, boss, or quest marker — and get real-time tips without exiting your session.
Multitasking reimagined with AI
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 was made for multitasking, and One UI 8 finally brings the software to match the hardware.
AI Results View allows you to pull Gemini's responses into a split screen or floating window, making research and planning more fluid.
The new Drag & Drop AI content system means that anything generated — a paragraph, a product list, a summary — can be instantly moved between apps.
Samsung also promises more intuitive layout optimisation, letting you maximise space usage across the unfolded display.
The new Galaxy Z Fold7
The Galaxy Z Fold7 features Samsung's largest and most refined folding display to date — an expansive 8.0-inch QXGA+ main screen paired with a fully functional 6.5-inch FHD+ cover screen. At just 215g, it's the lightest Fold ever, and at 4.2mm unfolded, also the slimmest.
One of the most significant upgrades is the introduction of a 200MP wide-angle rear camera. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, with configurations up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.
Availability and pricing in the UAE
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold7 is available for pre-order in the UAE, with retail availability starting from July 25.
The price for the Galaxy Z Fold7 starts from Dh7,599 with 12GB RAM and 256GB Storage. It comes in four colours: Silver Shadow, Jet Black, Mint and Blue Shadow. Prices go up to Dh9,349.
