Galaxy Z Fold7: Features, price, and arrival in Argentina of Samsung's new "tablet phone"

Samsung officially unveiled its new line of foldable phones with the Galaxy Z Fold7 , the hybrid phone and tablet it's been perfecting for seven generations. This time, it offers a offering that combines artificial intelligence, a more refined design, and greater hardware power. Lighter and thinner than ever, this device sets a new standard in this segment .

Weighing 215 grams and just 8.9 mm thick when folded, the Z Fold7 offers a comfortable user experience without sacrificing power. At the heart of this model is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for Galaxy , specifically designed for AI-powered tasks like real-time translations or generative photo and video editing.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 continues to refine the book-style foldable design, now reducing its thickness to just 11mm when closed. While it doesn't lead in millimeters, it makes up for it with a robust build, premium materials like Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a new, thinner and stronger Armor FlexHinge , and IP48 water resistance certification—something not offered by all of its rivals.

The main differential of the Galaxy Z Fold7 continues to be its dual screen : a 6.5-inch external one and when unfolded, an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X foldable internal screen appears, now 11% larger than the previous generation . Thanks to the 2,600 nit brightness and the Vision Booster function, content is clearly visible even in bright sunlight.

The design also improves the multitasking experience. One UI 8, the customization layer based on Android 16 , allows you to work with multiple windows, just like a tablet : drag content from one app to another and take advantage of AI features like Photo Assist, Drawing Assist, or Generative Edit , which allow you to edit photos precisely or automatically fill in spaces.

The Fold7 is not only thinner, but also more durable. The hinge has been redesigned —once again. with a structure that distributes tension better, reducing visible creases . It also incorporates materials such as Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on its outer screen, Armor Aluminum on the frame, and a reinforced titanium layer on the inner screen, which is now 50% thicker than the previous one .

The AI ​​features aren't just for editing and photos: the Fold7 acts as a contextual assistant with Galaxy AI .

Using Google tools like Gemini Live , users can ask questions directly about what they see on screen or capture with the camera. And with Circle to Search , simply circle an on-screen element to get real-time information or suggestions—ideal for searching for products, references, or in-game tactics.

Samsung also bolstered the device's security with new layers of protection such as Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection and quantum-resistant encryption, designed for public Wi-Fi connections.

As far as cameras are concerned, Samsung has also taken the photography experience to the next level with the addition of a 200-megapixel main sensor , a first for the brand's foldable phones, and a 10-megapixel selfie camera that is now visible inside the phone.

Thanks to the ProVisual engine and AI optimization, images remain sharp even in night scenes, and videos gain depth and definition with 10-bit HDR and features like Night Video or Audio Eraser , to eliminate noises such as wind or background traffic .

Samsung also unveiled its new foldable flip phones: the Galaxy Z Flip7 , its most advanced model to date, and the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE , an affordable alternative that maintains the compact design but offers reduced features. Both devices come with the Galaxy AI suite of smart features.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 is the most advanced model : it features a new 4.1-inch Super AMOLED external display, a larger battery (4,300 mAh versus 3,700 mAh). In addition, it incorporates Samsung DeX for the first time in a flip device, becoming a true mobile workstation .

In photography, the Flip7 also takes advantage: it offers a 50 MP + 12 MP dual camera, with advanced features such as Zoom Slider, Night Video with 10-bit HDR, and Portrait Studio with AI editing.

For its part, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is aimed at those looking for their first foldable phone at a more affordable price , but without sacrificing key features. It has a 6.7-inch main screen in its unfolded version, a 50 MP camera, AI features like translation and summaries, and the FlexCam experience for selfies and hands-free recording.
