Samsung Unveils Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra: A New Era for Foldables Begins
After months of speculation, Samsung has finally confirmed what fans and insiders have long anticipated: the Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra is real-and it’s coming soon. The first official teaser has dropped, signaling that Samsung is ready to step up its foldable game with an ‘Ultra’ variant of the Z Fold lineup.
The Z Fold7 Ultra will debut alongside the regular Galaxy Z Fold7, the clamshell-style Z Flip7, and the more affordable Z Flip7 FE.
The grand reveal is expected at a highly anticipated in-person Galaxy Unpacked event in New York this July.
While details remain closely guarded, the teaser hints at a remarkably slim design. Current benchmarks suggest it will be even thinner than the Z Fold6, which is 5.6mm when unfolded, and possibly rival the exclusive Z Fold Special Edition (a.k.a. W25 in Korea and China) that stunned fans with its 4.9mm thickness and featherlight build.
What truly sets the Z Fold7 Ultra apart, however, is Samsung’s bold claim: a best-in-class camera. That’s a daring promise in a market already crowded with imaging champions like the vivo X Fold3 Pro. If Samsung delivers on this front, it could redefine what users expect from a foldable phone camera.
The existence of an Ultra Fold has long been rumored, with many expecting it to join last year’s Z Fold6 lineup. Instead, Samsung dropped a curveball with the W25-a regional release that boasted impressive specs including an 8-inch main display, a 6.5-inch cover screen, a 200MP main camera, and 16GB of RAM. This time around, it seems Samsung is finally ready to go global with its most ambitious foldable yet.
The introduction of an Ultra variant shows that Samsung is taking competition from other brands more seriously. With the foldable market heating up and competitors innovating rapidly, the Z Fold7 Ultra is more than just a new model-it’s a statement. Users can expect not just refined hardware, but also a reimagined user experience that justifies the ‘Ultra’ moniker.
It remains to be seen how the Z Fold7 Ultra will be priced, how it compares spec-for-spec with the regular Fold7, and whether it’s launching globally or in select markets. But one thing is certain: Samsung isn’t playing it safe anymore-and that’s great news for foldable fans everywhere.
