Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7: A New Era of Foldable Smartphones
Samsung Electronics Japan has officially opened pre-orders for its latest device, the
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 (SIM-free model). This remarkable foldable smartphone is not only the
slimmest and
lightest in the history of Japan's flip smartphones, but it also integrates cutting-edge design, AI technology, and a superior camera experience. The pre-orders began today, July 17, 2025, via the
Samsung Online Shop and selected Samsung retail locations, including the Galaxy Harajuku brand showcase in Tokyo and Galaxy Studio Osaka in Namba. Official sales of the device are set to start on August 1, 2025.
What to Expect from the Galaxy Z Fold7
The pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is as follows:
- - 256GB model: ¥265,750 (including tax)
- - 512GB model: ¥283,750 (including tax)
- - 1TB model: ¥329,320 (including tax)
The Z Fold7 has made quite an impression with its ultra-slim profile, measuring just
4.2 mm when opened, and
8.9 mm when folded, weighing a mere
215g. This lightweight and compact design makes it comparable to traditional bar-type smartphones, ensuring convenience for users on the go.
The cover screen features a
6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an aspect ratio of
21:9, allowing users to perform tasks such as messaging, browsing the web, and checking emails without needing to unfold the device. Additionally, the newly introduced
Armor Flex Hinge enhances durability while maintaining a slim profile, making the fold mark less pronounced on the display.
Photography Features That Stand Out
One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is its camera, which boasts an impressive
200MP wide-angle lens—the first for the Galaxy Z series. This is four times the detail compared to its predecessors, allowing users to capture vibrant and clear images with the help of the AI-powered
ProVisual Engine. With the night photography capabilities, the device excels in low-light situations, while the
10MP front camera with a
100° wide-angle lens takes advantage of the foldable design for group selfies and stunning landscapes.
Enhanced AI Experience with One UI 8
Running on
One UI 8, the Galaxy Z Fold7 provides a unique multimodal AI experience. The
Gemini Live feature allows users to interact with an AI agent while sharing their screens in real time. For instance, if you find an appetizing dessert image, Gemini can analyze it and help find nearby stores that offer similar items. Users can manage multiple tasks simultaneously, such as saving restaurant lists and setting calendar reminders, all without needing to switch apps.
This collaborative feature extends further when leveraging the large screen and multi-window capability of the device. For example, one could display a chair on one side and a room image on the other, asking Gemini for advice on whether the chair fits the room's decor, receiving instant feedback based on visual inputs.
Premium Experience at Your Fingertips
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 doesn't just signify technological advancement but aims to integrate seamlessly into everyday life, offering a premium experience in various aspects. From its top-tier hardware to intelligent AI features and exceptional camera performance, the Z Fold7 is designed to provide an unparalleled smartphone experience.
Accessories and Promotions
In addition to the Z Fold7, Samsung has also announced the availability of official accessories starting today, with prices varying:

- - Galaxy Z Fold7 Silicone Case: ¥13,090 (various colors)
