Compact in size, bold in capability – Galaxy Z Flip7 redefines the flip phone experience



NEW YORK – July 9, 2025 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip7, a compact AI phone with multimodal capabilities, powered by a new FlexWindow. Small enough to slip into a pocket, yet powerful enough to deliver the handiest assistance, it melds Galaxy AI with a now edge-to-edge FlexWindow, a flagship-level camera and an ultra-compact and iconic design. From intuitive voice AI to the best selfie capabilities, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is an intelligent pocket-sized companion built for seamless interaction and everyday reliability. 




“Galaxy Z Flip7 is proof that big intelligence can come in a small, pocket-sized form factor,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing rich multimodal AI capabilities and seamless functionality to the FlexWindow, we’ve created a device that adapts, anticipates and empowers users, unlocking a smarter, more intuitive way to engage with the world.”


Biggest, Brightest FlexWindow Yet


Content spills elegantly from edge to edge on the Galaxy Z Flip7’s stunning FlexWindow display, which brings essentials front and center, making it easy to type out quick messages, check schedules at a glance, and snap high-quality selfies. Galaxy Z Flip’s brightest FlexWindow yet delivers a super-smooth refresh rate, so everything looks vivid and feels fluid, even when outside on a sunny day.


  • The 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow is the largest ever on a Galaxy Z Flip, with edge-to-edge usability that enables users to see and do more on the cover screen.

  • With 2,600 nits of peak brightness and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate on both the main display and the FlexWindow, Galaxy Z Flip7 enables ultra-fluid scrolling, streaming and gaming. Plus, the FlexWindow gets an upgrade with Vision Booster, enhancing outdoor visibility so users can stay connected wherever they are.

  • The main display is a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, built for an ultra-smooth, immersive experience.




Thinnest Yet Durable Galaxy Z Flip


Galaxy Z Flip7 is crafted for portability and puts powerful performance right in the palm of the user’s hand. With its compact size and sleek silhouette, it slips effortlessly into a small pocket or purse, perfect for whatever the day brings. Whether catching calls during a coffee outing or snapping pictures at the store, no need to worry about the inevitable drops and bumps along the way. It’s also built to last and engineered to handle the rigors of daily use. 


  • Weighing just 188 grams and measuring only 13.7mm when folded, Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest Galaxy Z Flip yet.

  • The cover and back are protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2.

  • The Armor FlexHinge is thinner than the hinge on the previous generation and features a restructured design and high-strength materials for smoother folds and long-lasting durability.

  • A robust Armor Aluminum Frame provides a tough exterior for resilience.


Power That Lasts Longer and Works Smarter


While the Galaxy Z Flip7 has been slimmed down and refined throughout, it now features a bigger battery and an even bigger display, all in a more compact form. With the largest battery ever in the Galaxy Z Flip series, it delivers enough additional power to watch an extra movie without charging. Users can stream music or listen to podcasts during long commutes, edit photos on the fly, and share updates throughout the day without missing a beat. 


  • The 4,300mAh battery is the largest ever on a Galaxy Z Flip, delivering up to 31 hours of video play time on a single charge.

  • The Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered by the latest 3nm processor, customized for Galaxy and fit for today’s lifestyle with an even more powerful CPU, GPU, and NPU than Galaxy Z Flip6.

  • Samsung DeX comes to a Galaxy Z Flip7 for the first time, enabling it to instantly transform into a handy workstation: users can flip it open, connect to a screen, and instantly get PC-like tools for enhanced multitasking.






Pocket-Perfect AI


With FlexWindow enhanced for greater usability and Galaxy AI that is smarter and more intuitive than ever, Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces a new era of convenience and functionality, empowering users to search with their voice, get answers, and take action directly on FlexWindow. Powered by the newest One UI 8 and Android 16 right out of the box, it delivers true multimodal AI experiences optimized for the Flip’s iconic design, with many tasks now able to be handled right from the cover screen. This intuitive, one-handed experience enhances productivity and introduces even more personalization options, making the Galaxy Z Flip7 a smart and handy companion, whether a user is traveling around the globe or simply navigating a busy day.


Galaxy Z Flip7 brings a new level of AI-powered personalization, tailored to users’ style and routine. From curated wallpaper suggestions to emoji, color, and widget customization, the FlexWindow becomes a dynamic extension of a user’s personality. Whether prepping for travel or matching the mood, personalization is effortless and always evolving.



  • Gemini Live is now available directly on the FlexWindow, enabling users to search for information with their voice and complete tasks hands-free. Plus, all this information can be stored in Samsung Notes for easy access later. It’s like having a personal assistant, right on the cover screen.  

  • With camera sharing on Gemini Live, getting real-time help is as easy as pointing the camera. Whether packing for a trip or choosing an outfit, users can simply show Gemini what they’re looking at. Ask questions like, “Which of these outfits is better for the weather in Seoul?” Gemini will respond, just like a helpful friend would. 

  • Now Bar shows real-time app activity, podcast progress, and alerts right on the cover screen, and it’s now integrated with even more third-party apps. A quick glance at the FlexWindow lets users check on the ETA of their rideshare, see what song is playing, peek at the latest football scores, and so much more.

  • Now Brief provides even more personalized daily updates, including traffic, reminders, calendar events, and fitness summaries. Users can get personalized music and video recommendations based on subscriptions and interests, as well as easily access health and wellness data pulled from Samsung Health and Galaxy Watch.

  • The FlexWindow’s clock adapts and stretches to complement a user’s wallpaper, wrapping the font around faces or objects in the image to keep the time display clear. Whether it’s a close-up selfie or a scenic skyline, the lock screen ensures the clock remains visible without disrupting the image.


A Pocket-Sized Selfie Studio


Galaxy Z Flip7 brings flagship-level photography and Samsung’s best selfie camera yet. With Samsung’s advanced ProVisual Engine, it intelligently optimizes every scene to deliver crisp, detailed shots in any lighting, without any manual adjustments needed. From playful pet moments to zoomed-in festival shots and glowing sunset portraits, Galaxy Z Flip7 captures stunning results without a tripod or even unfolding the screen.




  • The dual rear camera system includes a 50MP Wide and a 12MP Ultra-Wide lens, delivering flagship-level clarity in any lighting, whether capturing scenic shots or snapping high-quality selfies directly from the cover screen.

  • With Enhanced Nightography, users can capture vivid photos in low-light environments through improved lighting adjustments and the removal of noise and blurred frames. 

  • 10-bit HDR provides richer color, deeper contrast, and more life-like detail in video, no matter the time of day.

  • Galaxy Z Flip7 takes selfies to the next level, right from the FlexWindow. Real-Time Filters now lets users preview and perfect FlexCam shots instantly. And with the new Zoom Slider, users can quickly zoom in or out with just a swipe, making it perfect for capturing a full outfit or fitting everyone into the frame for a flawless group selfie.

  • With Dual Preview, the photographer and the subject can see the composition live on the FlexWindow, helping users nail the perfect shot on the first go.

  • Every day, pet moments become eye-catching shots with Portrait Studio in Photo Assist, whether featuring a playful cartoon style, a quirky fisheye look or a polished, professional finish.


Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE

Bringing the foldable experience to even more users, Samsung also announced Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Compact when folded and expansive when opened, Galaxy Z Flip7 FE features a 6.7-inch Main Display for an immersive viewing experience. The 50MP FlexCam enables high-quality selfies and video in Flex Mode, letting users capture content hands-free, without even opening the device. Now Brief surfaces helpful updates - including weather, daily schedules, and commute alerts - on the cover screen, in a layout optimized for Galaxy Z Flip7 FE’s compact form. Available in Black and White, it delivers a minimalist look that complements its intelligent, foldable design.

Future-Ready Mobile Security 

As mobile experiences grow ever more intelligent and interconnected, Samsung is reinforcing the foundations that protect them, unveiling new protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection, and enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption. One UI 8 brings enhanced privacy to personalized AI experiences with the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP). KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more. With One UI 8, Samsung is advancing Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly protection across the Galaxy ecosystem. Furthermore, as part of its ongoing commitment to quantum-safe security, Samsung is integrating post-quantum cryptography into Secure Wi-Fi. This enhancement secures the key exchange process at the core of encrypted connections, helping ensure robust privacy even over public networks.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Months of exciting qualifier rounds in Davao, Manila, and Cebu culminated in the first-ever Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Final in the Queen City of the South. On May 24, the country's strongest dancers gathered for an explosive dance showdown in Cebu's Ayala Center.


Historic Dance Showdown in Cebu

At the National Final in Cebu, elite dancers from all over the nation competed for the title, thrilling the audience with a diverse range of moves, including house, hip-hop, waacking, locking, and even voguing. Every dancer's destiny was in the hands of the audience, and the excitement was unparalleled. In the end, Sam Rivera—also referred to as "Nemesis" in combat—was declared the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Champion.


“It was an amazing journey,” said Nemesis of her Red Bull Dance Your Style journey. “This was my third time to join Red Bull Dance Your Style. I’m so happy that I won the championship title in my hometown, Cebu. It’s my pride and honor.”

Nemesis also mentioned how thrilled she was to be attending the National Final for the first time in Cebu. She added, "I think that I was more empowered because my family was here with me, and while I was on stage, I could see my friends, so that gave me a boost." "I was so excited because people (from my hometown) will get to see me dance on the national stage, especially my mother, my family, and my friends." 


Nemesis also gave the Cebuano audience credit for keeping her motivated during the tournament. "They got me through the Final," she remarked. I'm really appreciative of them since the community here is really encouraging, not only to me but to every competitor that performed on stage. And Red Bull, who gave me wings, of course. I appreciate the energy.


Each round, the Cebuana Krump Star demonstrated her domination. It gained not only the trophy but also a place on the international scene thanks to her unquestionable stage presence and charismatic ability to command the crowd. Nemesis is now focused on the next fight after representing the Philippines at the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final in Los Angeles, USA. "First of all, it's going to be in Los Angeles, and it's going to be my first time traveling outside of Asia," they said, expressing their excitement for the World Final. "I want to connect with other dancers from around the world, and dance my heart out at the World Final to show them what Filipinos are capable of," she added.

Nemesis stated, "I will do my usual routine," about her preparation for the World Final. She added, "I think that (has to be) a balance of everything, your faith in God, your physical conditioning, and strong mental conditioning when you perform." "I will train my body, my mind, and my soul."

Nemesis revealed her strategy for the World Final: "I'll just be myself because I think we're all unique in our own way." I'll just demonstrate my abilities, including my dancing and krumping skills.


The Full Red Bull Dance Your Style Experience

The Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals in Cebu evolved into a full-fledged cultural extravaganza in addition to the fierce dance competitions. For those who attended, the event created a memorable experience.

Along with top-notch street dancing, attendees enjoyed special performances by local dance crew SZHD and Cabuana superstar Karencitta, which showcased Cebu's skills. The Red Bull Dance Your Style National Finals was more than just a dance competition; it was a celebration of Cebu's urban inventiveness.


Nemesis’ Next Stop: the World Stage

The last showdown is almost around the corner. This October 11, support Nemesis as they travel to Los Angeles, USA, for the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final. For the most recent information, follow Red Bull Dance and Red Bull PH on social media.
