Samsung’s latest Galaxy lineup has arrived, and this time it’s more polished, powerful, and smarter than ever. With new foldables and wearables that blend cutting-edge tech with everyday usability, the Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 (and the new Flip7 FE), plus the Galaxy Watch8 Series are here to impress. If you’re thinking about upgrading, here’s what’s new and why these devices are more than just another spec refresh.
Galaxy Z Fold7: Built for Power and Portability
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is Samsung’s most refined Fold yet. It’s lighter and thinner than before, weighing just 215 grams and measuring only 8.9 mm thick. But once you unfold it, you’re looking at a massive 8-inch AMOLED screen that’s 11 percent larger than last year. Whether you’re editing documents, watching shows, or multitasking across multiple apps, this screen is built for productivity.
The new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor powers everything behind the scenes, delivering major improvements in speed and AI performance. You’ll see a faster CPU, GPU, and NPU, which makes real-time language translation, generative edits, and split-screen multitasking feel effortless.
The camera system has been seriously upgraded too. It now features a 200MP wide sensor, which is a first for a Galaxy Fold device. With AI image processing, your shots come out crisp, vibrant, and full of detail, even in low light. Content creators will appreciate tools like Generative Edit, Suggest Erase, and Side-by-Side Editing, which let you tweak your photos and videos directly from the device.
With One UI 8 and Android 16, the Fold7 turns into a real productivity tool. Features like Gemini Live, Circle to Search, and Drag and Drop AI make it easy to do more without switching between apps or losing your workflow.
Galaxy Z Flip7: Compact, Creative, and Surprisingly Powerful
If the Fold7 is for the multitaskers, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is for those who want style and substance in one sleek package. It’s the thinnest Flip yet at just 13.7 mm folded, but what really makes a difference is the new 4.1-inch FlexWindow on the front. It’s edge-to-edge, bright, and responsive, letting you check messages, take selfies, run widgets, and even use voice AI without opening the phone.
The Flip7 now runs on a 3nm Exynos processor and has a larger 4,300 mAh battery to get you through a full day. For the first time, it also supports Samsung DeX, which turns your phone into a desktop-style interface when connected to a monitor.
Photographers and content creators will love the upgraded camera system. It features a 50MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide, now backed by the ProVisual Engine. You get better night shots, real-time filters, a new zoom slider, and Dual Preview. And yes, you can shoot great hands-free selfies while the phone is half-folded.
For those new to foldables, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is a great way to get started. It still has the signature FlexMode, a 6.7-inch main screen, and even the new AI features like Now Brief. It’s compact, capable, and more affordable than the flagship Flip7.
Galaxy Watch8 Series: Smarter Wellness, Sleeker Design
The Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic focus on health, comfort, and smart features that make everyday wellness easier. These are the thinnest and most comfortable Galaxy Watches yet, designed with a new internal layout and a dynamic lug system that adjusts to your wrist as you move. That means a better fit and more accurate sensor readings, whether you’re running or resting.
Powered by a 3nm chip and running on Wear OS 6 with One UI 8 Watch, the Watch8 Series delivers a smoother and more responsive experience. The display is ultra-bright at 3,000 nits, making it easy to see even in bright sunlight. And with dual-frequency GPS, you get more accurate location tracking for workouts or outdoor adventures.
Health features get a serious upgrade here. Bedtime Guidance helps you optimize your sleep based on your body clock, while Vascular Load tracks cardiovascular strain. The new Energy Score gives you a daily read on how ready your mind and body are, using physical and mental data combined.
There’s also an Antioxidant Index that checks your carotenoid levels in just five seconds. It’s a quick way to get insight into your dietary health, which can help with recovery and long-term wellness. Other features like Running Coach, High Stress Alerts, and the Mindfulness Tracker offer a full wellness toolkit right on your wrist.And with Gemini built in, you can use voice to message, schedule, or start a workout without needing to tap through menus.
AI that Works Behind the Scenes
What really brings everything together this year is how Samsung has integrated AI into nearly every part of the experience. It’s not just a buzzword. It’s built into how the devices work.
- Gemini Live gives you smart, real-time help based on what’s on your screen or in your camera.
- Circle to Search makes it easy to look up anything by simply drawing a circle around it.
- Generative Edit lets you resize, remove, or move objects in photos while filling in backgrounds naturally.
- Audio Eraser removes background noise in your videos so your voice comes through clearly.
- Drag and Drop AI is great for multitaskers, letting you move AI-generated content between apps on the Fold7.
Over on the Galaxy Watch8 Series, the AI is working behind the scenes to give you smarter health tracking without needing to think about it. It’s all part of a more seamless, personalized experience.
