At its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, 2025, in Brooklyn, New York, Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest advancements in foldable smartphones and wearable technology. The event introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 series, highlighting the company's commitment to innovation and AI integration.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 features a slimmer and lighter design, measuring 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded, with a weight of 215 grams. It boasts a 6.5-inch external display and an 8-inch internal display, providing a tablet-like experience when unfolded. The device is equipped with a 200 MP main camera, complemented by a 12 MP ultra-wide lens and a 10 MP telephoto lens. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, it runs on One UI 8 based on Android 16. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is priced at $1,999, with availability starting July 25.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 introduces a larger 4.1-inch Super AMOLED cover display and a 6.9-inch internal Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen. It is powered by Samsung's new Exynos 2500 SoC and includes a 50 MP main camera alongside a 12 MP ultra-wide lens. The device comes with a 4,300 mAh battery, offering up to 31 hours of video playback. Priced at $1,099.99, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be available starting July 25.

Samsung also introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a more affordable variant that retains the Flip 6’s cover design. It features a 6.7-inch internal and 3.4-inch cover display, powered by the Exynos 2400 processor. The device maintains the Flip 7’s dual cameras and offers a 4,000 mAh battery.

The Galaxy Watch 8 series includes the Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic models. These smartwatches come equipped with Google's Gemini AI for enhanced voice commands and health features.

Prices for the Galaxy Watch 8 series range from $360 to $642, with availability beginning July 25.

Samsung's latest releases underscore its commitment to integrating advanced AI capabilities and refining the design and functionality of its foldable devices and wearables. The introduction of more affordable models like the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE aims to make foldable technology accessible to a broader audience. However, Samsung faces increased competition from Chinese rivals such as Honor and Oppo, who have also launched ultra-thin foldable devices.

The event highlighted Samsung's strategy to balance innovation with affordability, aiming to broaden consumer access to advanced technology. As the market for foldable smartphones and AI-integrated wearables continues to evolve, Samsung's latest offerings position the company to meet diverse consumer needs and preferences.
