Samsung has officially launched its latest flagship foldable and smartwatches in the UAE: the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and the Galaxy Watch8 series. Announced at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, the new devices introduce significant improvements in performance, design, and functionality, further cementing Samsung’s dominance in the foldable and wearable tech markets. Pre-orders have begun across the UAE, with general availability set for July 25.
Galaxy Z Fold7: Redefining Foldable Productivity
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is Samsung’s most powerful and lightweight foldable to date. It boasts an expansive 8.0-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display and a 6.5-inch FHD+ cover screen, both delivering vibrant visuals and seamless multitasking capabilities. At just 215 grams, it is the lightest Fold in the series and features a refined 4.2mm thickness when unfolded.
Under the hood, the Z Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, paired with configurations of up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The device supports fast charging and wireless power share through its 4,400mAh dual-cell battery.
A key highlight is the enhanced camera system, led by a 200MP primary sensor, supported by ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. The device also features AI-assisted photography tools such as real-time object recognition, low-light optimization, and background editing.
While the Fold7 supports S Pen functionality, Samsung has opted to remove the built-in S Pen slot, instead offering stylus support through an external accessory.
Galaxy Z Flip7: Compact Style Meets Flagship Power
The Galaxy Z Flip7 evolves as a premium lifestyle device with a focus on portability and creative content. It introduces a larger 4.1-inch Super AMOLED cover display with 120Hz refresh rate, allowing users to check notifications, use widgets, and take selfies without unfolding the phone. The internal 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers exceptional clarity and smoothness for everyday use.
Powering the Flip7 is the new Exynos 2500 chipset, built on a 3nm architecture, complemented by 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. The device houses a robust 4,300mAh battery designed for all-day usage with improved charging capabilities.
The camera setup features a 50MP main sensor with AI-driven enhancements for video stability, portrait mode, and FlexCam shooting. Users can also enjoy Auto Zoom and voice gesture controls for hands-free capture.
New color options include Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red, and an exclusive Mint variant available online.
Galaxy Watch8 Series: Smarter Health and Performance
The Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic bring advanced wellness tracking and smart performance in a premium design. Both models are powered by the new 3nm Exynos W1000 processor, offering better speed and energy efficiency. They run on Wear OS 6 with Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch interface, providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
Key features include advanced heart rate monitoring, ECG, SpO2 tracking, and sleep analysis, along with new additions like skin temperature sensing and antioxidant monitoring. The Watch8 Classic revives the rotating bezel for tactile control, while both models feature Sapphire Crystal displays, IP68 water resistance, and MIL-STD-810H certification.
With up to 64GB of internal storage, the Watch8 series supports downloadable apps, music, and offline maps. Dual-frequency GPS ensures accurate location tracking even in challenging environments.
