The Galaxy Z Fold 7 marks Samsung's entry into a growing sub-category of folding phones, joining the Oppo Find N5 and Honor Magic V5 as a dual-screened device that's as thin as a regular phone when folded.

Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE have sharper cameras, more powerful multitasking software, and expanded AI capabilities, all housed in luxurious, well-built bodies.

Samsung Electronics on Wednesday unveiled thinner, lighter new foldable phones as it aims to fend off Chinese competition in the higher-margin, premium segment that remains untapped by arch rival Apple.
