NEW YORKS At the most recent Unpacked event on Wednesday, Samsung unveiled a number of improvements to its array of foldable devices, including the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE.
In addition to introducing new watch models in New York, the Korean electronics manufacturer also revealed an extended collaboration with Google to add more AI capabilities to its foldable range.

The following are the main announcements from the Unpacked event this summer:
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is slimmer.
With a thickness of 0.17 inches when unfolded and less than half an inch when folded, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is significantly lighter and thinner than its predecessors.
Additionally, it weighs just under half a pound, which is very remarkable given that the business also enlarged the displays’ overall dimensions from the Fold 6 to 6.5 inches for the outer and 8 inches for the interior.
The battery’s capacity is unchanged from the prior model. However, this fold device does not accept the company’s digital stylus, in contrast to earlier generations.
Users may rapidly take wide photographs with a 10 megapixel camera that spans along the phone’s frame, while the 200 megapixel camera will serve as the primary camera.
The retail price of the Fold 7 will start at $1,999. The gadget will be available for purchase on July 25th, and pre-orders begin today.
The larger Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Fold’s flippable cousin features a clamshell that folds down to just over half an inch and an expanded 4.1-inch top screen. The Flip 6’s 6.7-inch inner display expands to 6.9 inches.
It has a 50 megapixel primary camera and a 10 megapixel front camera, and it has a somewhat larger 4,300mAh battery.
Today, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a new, less expensive model of the phone, was also shown. It is a little smaller model that retains the 6.7-inch screen size of its high-end equivalent, the Fold 6.
The Flip 7 FE starts at $899.99, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will retail for $1,099.99. Both devices will be on sale on July 25 after pre-orders opened on Wednesday.
The latest iteration of the Watch 8 series
The primary takeaway from today’s presentation is that Google’s Gemini AI was preloaded into the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 8, and Watch 8 Classic. These devices have all received significant enhancements in terms of memory, thickness, and design. By speaking to their watch, users can communicate with the AI.
AI is present in every gadget.
In a pre-recorded video at Unpacked, Rick Osterloh, senior vice president of devices and services at Google, revealed that Samsung’s circle to search feature will use the AI Mode of Google’s search engine, enabling users to quickly search by tapping or circling items on their screen. Additionally, Gemini will be increasingly integrated with standard Samsung device apps, such as Reminders and Calendar.
