The smartphone ensures that clicked images will look like masterpieces in incredible, true-to-life immersion on the large display. Top-notch security and an up-to-date Galaxy experience Samsung is ensuring longevity for both the devices - Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 by promising industry-leading support, which ensures these devices remain secure and feature-rich for an extended period. The devices come with a 7-generation OS update, which means the smartphones will receive major Android OS updates for seven full generations. Samsung also guarantees 7 years of security updates. These regular patches are essential for protecting smartphones from emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and malware. It is commendable that this commitment goes far beyond what most Android manufacturers offer, ensuring users have access to the latest Android features, performance enhancements, and API updates for many years, significantly increasing the lifespan and value of their device. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7: When style meets innovation Meet the slimmest and most advanced Galaxy Z Flip yet. The device is crafted for stunning performance, effortless style, and a perfect fit for your lifestyle and your pocket. With an edge-to-edge expanded cover screen and a sleek, durable design, it's a foldable that turns heads folded or unfolded. The Galaxy Z Flip7's redesigned cover screen features the slimmest bezel yet, providing users with more room and enhanced power on the FlexWindow. When opened, the primary display provides an uninterrupted, immersive viewing experience that is truly a visual delight for the eyes and senses. Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold7, the Galaxy Z Flip7 comes with an Infinity Flex window and Vision Booster technology. It is strengthened with an improved Armour Aluminium and Gorilla Glass Victus 2, offering greater scratch and drop resistance. The Galaxy Z Flip7 takes immersive viewing to the next level with a newly optimised 21:9 screen ratio, which is closer to traditional bar-style smartphones for a more natural viewing and scrolling experience. The main display is now 13% wider than the Z Flip6, giving you more room to enjoy your content, multitask with ease, and interact with apps just like you would on a standard flagship, only now, in a foldable form. Introducing Galaxy Z Flip7 | Samsung A visionary camera for creativity and beyond The Galaxy Z Flip7 features an outstanding camera system designed for versatility and creativity. It has a powerful 50MP main camera that captures incredibly detailed shots. For those perfect self-portraits, a dedicated 50MP selfie cam ensures you look your best in every picture. The Flip7 truly shines with its unique FlexCam experience, leveraging its foldable design for hands-free shooting; features like Zoom Rocker and Auto Zoom make framing shots effortless, even from a distance. All of this is enhanced by Samsung's ProVisual Engine, an AI-powered system that optimises every photo for stunning clarity, vibrant colours, and improved details, no matter the lighting. Plus, with the ability to apply custom filters instantly in the FlexWindow, you can preview and perfect your look even before you fully unfold your phone. A looker that comes with durability Built to handle everyday wear with ease, the Galaxy Z Flip7 combines sleek style with unmatched durability. Its exterior is reinforced with Armor Aluminium and the all-new Armor FlexHinge, offering robust protection without compromising on design. Both the front and back are shielded with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, making it Samsung's most durable Flip yet, ready for real life, folded or unfolded. The smartphone is powered by a 4300mAh battery, the largest battery seen in a Z Flip series. It also has a robust 3nm processor, which delivers faster performance, improved power efficiency, and enhanced multitasking capabilities. A handy AI companion The Galaxy Z Flip7 is one true AI companion that will ease your tasks within seconds. The smartphone comes with the following AI features- Enhanced suggested replies: This feature provides reply suggestions based on conversation context, enabling users to respond instantly from FlexWindow and the main screen. Suggested Erases (one tap): This is a valuable enhancement. Previously, users might have had to select objects to remove manually. Now, the AI proactively analyses the photo and suggests objects or distractions that can be erased, such as photobombers, unwanted background elements, or reflections. A single tap can initiate the removal, making cleanup incredibly fast and easy. This leverages the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in the processor for rapid on-device AI processing. Side-by-Side editing: It allows users to view the original image alongside the AI-edited version in real-time. This direct comparison helps them assess the changes, decide to keep them or try different edits, providing greater control and confidence in their results. Enhanced Audio Eraser: This feature enhances video recordings by allowing for easy cleanup of unwanted background noise, ensuring the main audio is loud, clear, and free of distractions. Samsung's commitment to sustainability Samsung's goal is to eliminate all single-use plastics in mobile product packaging by 2025.

Cheapest Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 deals to pre-order
Samsung's all-new Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones have been announced Samsung's latest foldable smartphones have been unveiled, and they might just be the top picks for those on the hunt for a new mobile. The brand-new Z Fold and Z Flip were showcased during the Unpacked event in New York, boasting significant improvements over their predecessors. The most noticeable transformation is seen in the latest Z Fold 7. Its revamped design makes it more pocket-friendly, and it now features an enhanced triple-lens camera with a primary 200MP lens for superior night-time photography and videography. Then there's the Flip 7, which comes equipped with speedier processors, superior screens, and upgraded cameras. Our tech team has rounded up what to anticipate from the Flip 7. While these updates are thrilling, one crucial consideration for consumers is where to buy the best phone deals. This largely depends on how buyers prefer to pay for the device. For those looking to spread the cost, check out Three Mobile for the best contract deals. For the Fold 7, customers can shell out £45.50 per month on a 36-month contract with a £60 upfront fee, as The Express reports. However, this doesn't include data, so that will need to be factored into the monthly cost as well, a potential downside for some shoppers. The same applies to the Flip 7. Samsung enthusiasts can snag the device for a monthly payment of £25.25 with an upfront cost of £40, spread over 36 months. Both phones come with additional storage and significant trade-in savings. Customers can also pre-order from Sky and EE, and depending on the carrier, they may be eligible for a variety of freebies. For those seeking alternatives, Carphone Warehouse offers a range of other deals worth exploring. For Apple users, Giffgaff provides a reasonable monthly plan for the iPhone 16 Pro at £24 a month, with a slightly higher upfront cost of £25. Returning to Samsung, the South Korean tech giant has the best SIM-free deals for customers willing to pay in full up front. The brand is offering double storage, up to £935 in trade-in value, and a £100 discount if consumers pay using PayPal. For the Fold 7, customers can reduce the price from £1,799 to £1099 through trade-in, and get an additional £100 off with PayPal, bringing the price down to £1064.

Samsung Interview: Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 product manager talks new designs, more AI — and that missing S Pen
We've only just seen the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Watch 8 officially at Galaxy Unpacked, and we've barely spent 24 hours with these devices as I write this. But some people have been trying them all out for quite a bit longer. Kadesh Beckford is Smartphone Specialist Product Manager at Samsung UK, and one of the first people to use these devices over a long period of time. So since he's had more of an opportunity than almost anyone else in the world right now to try out the new Samsung foldables and smartwatch, we thought we'd ask him our most pressing questions about the lineup. "To be honest and transparent, I've experienced the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for a couple of weeks now," Beckford admitted during our interview. "I've been very knowledgeable about the product for a little while, obviously while having it under lock and key. But then I've seen every single time I pick it up and have the capability of looking at it, it blows me away." Why does it blow him away? That has a lot to with the big design upgrade the new Z Fold has seen from previous generations. "Every single time I picked it up, I completely forgot it was a Fold. It screams out a normal phone, but when you open it, I'm like, "Okay, this is great." While Beckford's more of a Z Fold fan, he still gets the appeal of the smaller Galaxy Z Flip 7. "With the Z Flip series, the customers love the portability, the practicality of the device and its design. And the fact is we've made improvements on that: stronger, thinner, a bigger battery. Our R&D guys, our engineers, are amazing." There are plenty of hardware changes to talk about, but Galaxy AI still looms in the background as a big part of Samsung's mobile device plan. A few new features are debuting on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, so I asked Beckford what he liked best out of the fresh additions. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "My favorite one probably is Suggest Erases. Last week, my colleague, Tom, actually, we were in our office, I was taking a few pictures around and I'm taking a picture of Tom. And I'm in the background because there's a mirror in front of us. 'I thought I looked pretty good in the picture at the time, but just the fact that AI picked me out, literally drew a line around me, and I then could literally just press a button and erase. It wasn't me going in to erase it, it made the suggestion at an instant and it removed me." Beckford also named the Now Bar as another favorite. The live app notification feature was introduced with the Galaxy S25, but it takes on new life on the cover screen of the Z Flip 7, where it's visible without opening the phone. 'I use Uber now and then. So now with the Now Bar, you'll get your Uber notifications.. I can now look at that on the Z Flip, just on the left-hand side. For me, that's fantastic.' The Now Brief summary has also proven beneficial for Beckford's fitness goals. 'I wouldn't say I'm a great runner, but I recently committed to not driving to the gym. I either walk or get a [dockless hire] bike. And what I'm finding is that with my device, I'm able to view all my metrics. I do wear a Galaxy Ring. I do wear a Galaxy Watch, but the fact is in my Now Brief, I'll get all of my weekly health insights." This data is important for Beckford, who has set himself the goal of running a marathon distance by September this year ("I haven't said in what time I'll complete it in," he adds). This follows his completion of the popular "75 Hard" fitness plan earlier this year. And he gives Galaxy AI a good amount of credit for helping him. "75 Hard is… hard! But with [Galaxy AI] what I was able to say okay, Monday's scheduling is chest and bicep day, then it's going to be back and tricep day, then it's going to be shoulders and abs day, and legs and abs day. I was able to just say it [to Galaxy AI] and then ask it to repeat this for X time frame and it kept me true to form. "Even at lunch breaks… because Bixby Routines knows I've got into the office, and it's coming up to around lunch time, it will make the suggestion of going for a walk. So these are small little things that I was able to implement. And especially when we pair it up with the improvements to Now Brief and Galaxy Watch. Yes, we must not forget about the other strand of Galaxy Unpacked — the new Galaxy Watch 8 series. "The watch is definitely a complementary factor when it comes to these devices. It looks sleek, it looks sexy as far as I'm concerned, with the stainless steel finish on the Watch 8 Classic. when I partner that up with probably a Silver Shadow Fold 7. It's going to look complete." For as much as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has improved on its predecessors, it's taken a step back by losing S Pen compatibility. But Beckford explained the reasoning: "When we look at the insights from what our customers were using on the Galaxy Z Fold series and what they wanted, fundamentally they wanted a thinner and lighter device. And with us we definitely pay attention and listen to our customers. So with those insights, we implemented what they asked." Now that he can talk about the phone openly, the last thing I wanted to know from Beckford was the first thing he'll show off once he's moved on to the Z Fold 7 from his current Galaxy S25 Edge. "I'll just show [people] the design. Fundamentally, it will be to put the phone in the palm of the hands of everyone. And I want their opinion and their reaction. It's easy for me to talk about all of the plus points on this device." "But I truly believe once people get it in the palm of their hands and they compare it year on year or even since 2019… they are going to be like, "Yeah, this is epic.""

Galaxy Unpacked 2025 Live: New Samsung Phone Revealed
Samsung redesigned the wide camera assembly to fit into the Galaxy S25 Edge's svelte frame. Samsung/Screenshot by Jeff Carlson The stars of Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event are rumored to be updates to the Z Fold and Z Flip phones. While I appreciate a good bendable screen, I'm just as interested in the cameras that will be on them. Compared to the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra models, the lenses on the current Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 feel dated. For example, both of those phones include a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera; the Z Fold adds a 10-megapixel 2x telephoto. You can still get good photos from them, don't get me wrong. But if you're paying a premium for a phone -- $1,900 for the Z Fold 6 -- I believe you should expect a premium camera experience, too. The traditional argument for limiting the cameras has been space. Physical room is so premium in a foldable phone that many camera assemblies just won't fit. But then I look at the Galaxy S25 Edge, which worked in a slimmed-down 200 megapixel f/1.7 camera with the same specs as the main camera in the S25 Ultra, and did it in a thin 5.8mm frame (though the camera bump protrudes to 10mm). Megapixels aren't the whole story, but having more opens up options such as getting optical-quality telephoto images without invoking digital zoom. And the photos from the S25 Edge are pretty nice. Hopefully, Samsung will boost the ultrawide cameras in each new phone to at least 50 megapixels and maybe even the telephoto, too. Motorola's 2025 Razr shows it can be done. Will Samsung match or even exceed these specs? We'll find out Wednesday.
