Discover the Main Features of the New Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

SadaNews - On Friday, Samsung launched its new Galaxy Z Fold7, a new paradigm in the series thanks to its slim design and lightweight, integrating artificial intelligence into all aspects of daily use to provide an exceptional user experience. This phone enhances users' daily experiences, delivering superior performance that rivals Ultra-class smartphones.

Enhanced Design and Durability

The phone is the thinnest and lightest in the series so far, weighing less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra launched about five months ago.

Ultra-thin. The phone features an ultra-thin design, measuring 8.9 millimeters thick when the screen is folded and 4.2 millimeters when open. The outer screen has been redesigned to be more robust, thanks to the use of a titanium layer, increasing the glass thickness by 50 percent, making it more durable and resistant to water and dust according to the IP48 standard (it can be submerged in fresh water up to a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes and is resistant to dust particles larger than one millimeter).

* Foldable internal screen. The internal foldable screen is made of new "Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2," which contains microscopic crystals within its structure to enhance durability and crack resistance.

Durability. The phone's frame and hinge are made from strengthened Armor Aluminum, increasing hardness and durability by 10 percent. Speaking of the Armor FlexHinge, it has been re-engineered to be the thinnest and lightest in the series, featuring a multi-path internal structure that reduces the visibility of the longitudinal line where it folds and enhances its durability through balanced pressure distribution.

* External screen. The phone's external screen measures 6.5 inches and operates with "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" technology to enhance color quality, with an aspect ratio of 21:9.

When the phone is opened, the large internal screen measures 8 inches and uses the same technology, making it 11 percent larger than the previous version; this makes typing content, interacting with multiple applications simultaneously, watching videos, and playing games very comfortable. Additionally, the screen supports "Vision Booster" technology and a brightness level of 2600 nits to maintain image clarity under direct sunlight.

Integrated Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Your Daily Uses

The phone uses the foldable screen to enhance artificial intelligence capabilities, providing a smart user experience that adapts to many daily needs, eliminating the need for users to constantly switch between different applications. Users can now work within a single space without interruption by running multiple programs and displaying them on the large screen while easily transferring information between them as needed.

* Multi-tasking Interface. This functionality has become smoother than before, thanks to the use of "One UI 8," designed to act as a smart multimedia assistant that integrates multitasking on the big screen with intelligent tools that understand what the user types, says, and even sees.

* "Gemini Live." The AI feature from Google called "Gemini Live" has also been enhanced to better support multimedia, allowing the AI to understand what the user sees, hears, and says, enabling them to write or give voice commands to ask questions related to the content displayed on the screen and receive immediate answers without the need to switch between different applications to achieve that. Additionally, it develops

* "Circle to Search" Feature. This feature allows users to draw a circle with their finger around any item displayed on the screen, whether in an app, image, video, or webpage, and obtain results related to that item immediately within a special pop-up window to ensure a continuous experience without needing to navigate between it and the main content. Users can also easily drag and drop AI-generated content from images and texts with their finger directly from the search window to other windows.

* Drawing and Writing Assistants. The phone supports creative tools powered by AI specifically designed to utilize its large screen. The "Drawing Assist" and "Writing Assist" help smoothly transform ideas, writings, and drawings onto the phone.

* Photo Assistant. Users can also take photos and videos and easily edit them using AI, such as the "Photo Assist" tool that allows the user to move, erase, or zoom in on elements from captured images with just a circle drawn around that element, or adjust image tilt and fill backgrounds accurately after capturing them. The "Portrait Studio" supports capturing photos of pets with extreme accuracy and enhancing those images using "Generative Edit" features to remove distracting elements and fill backgrounds, as well as providing tips to delete unwanted elements from the image to improve its appearance, such as identifying passers-by in the background and removing them from the image with a single tap on the screen.

Additionally, the "Side-by-Side Editing" feature with the "Show Original" function allows for comparing original and edited images side by side on the large screen, along with facilitating the "Remove Audio" feature to eliminate unwanted background noise, such as wind, cars, or music, from videos after recording them directly from the "Photos & Videos Gallery" app.

Professional Camera System for Capturing the Finest Details

* Professional Experience. The phone offers a professional photography experience, as it is equipped with a triple rear camera array with 200, 12, and 10 megapixels (for wide, ultra-wide, and distant images with support for up to 3x optical zoom). The main camera captures rich details resulting in photos that are 44 percent brighter, along with supporting AI-enhanced imaging techniques aimed at automatically improving lighting and image quality, providing users with vivid and crystal-clear photos and videos, even in low-light conditions.

* The "Night Video" feature enhances clarity for videos recorded in low-light conditions using AI technologies to separate moving elements from the background and reduce visual noise resulting from shooting in low light. It also features the new "Pro Visual Engine" for faster image processing aimed at enhancing image and video clarity and quality of details. Additionally, it supports "High Dynamic Range 10 Plus" technology (with 10-bit color depth) for higher color depth, resulting in rich-colored images and videos.

A Detailed Look at the Technical Specifications

The external screen measures 6.5 inches and displays images with a resolution of 2520x1080 pixels and a density of 422 pixels per inch, while the internal screen measures 8 inches, displaying images with a resolution of 2184x1968 pixels and a density of 368 pixels per inch, both at a refresh rate of 120 Hz, supporting "High Dynamic Range 10 Plus" with 10-bit color depth and a brightness level of 2600 nits.

The phone runs on the "Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy" octa-core processor (two cores at 4.47 GHz and six cores at 3.53 GHz) with a 3-nanometer manufacturing process, offering either 12 or 16 gigabytes of RAM and 256, 512, or 1024 gigabytes of internal storage.
