Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7: Raising the Bar for Smartphones
- At just 215 grams, Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than Galaxy S25 Ultra.
- It is just 8.9 mm thick when folded and 4.2 mm thick when unfolded.
- The device comes with 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover display, a wider screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio.
- The 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display offers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks and vibrant detail that makes everything pop — from movies to tabs open while multitasking.
- With Vision Booster and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, Galaxy Z Fold7 stays brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight.
- Thin and light, Galaxy Z Fold7 is built to move with users, confidently. From repeated folding to being tossed in a bag, it’s engineered for everyday durability and built to last longer, with a restructured hinge and foldable display.
- The Armor FlexHinge is thinner and lighter, thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduces visible creasing and strengthens durability by evenly dispersing stress.
- The cover display is made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic that has crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix. This secures the screen’s durability and crack deflection capabilities and delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor.
- Advanced Armor Aluminum in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by 10%.
- The main display is restructured to be thinner and lighter – yet stronger. This was achieved by implementing the Titanium plate layer. Additionally, Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) was increased to be 50% thicker, making the display tougher.
- The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy delivers performance boosts of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU compared to the previous generation. This power fuels Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise.
- Featuring the first 200MP wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, it captures 4x more detail, producing images that are 44% brighter.
- The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the frame, so when users unfold their phone, it’s easy to capture group selfies, valuable moments and more of the world in a single shot.
- Samsung’s next generation ProVisual Engine processes images faster, enabling every photo and video to be more crisp, vibrant and full of detail.
- With Night Video, intelligent motion detection now separates moving subjects from still backgrounds to reduce noise.
- 10-bit HDR provides more color depth. The result is videos with richer color, deeper contrast and more lifelike detail, no matter the time of day.
- Shots look flawless with Photo Assist, which moves, erases or enlarges objects and adjusts angles and fills in backgrounds with AI-powered precision. Users can seize vibrant expressions, including pet profiles with Portrait Studio and refine their photos using Galaxy’s enhanced Generative Edit. The ability to seamlessly remove distractions and fill in backgrounds has made Generative Edit a fan favorite, and now it’s even smarter. It offers proactive suggestions with the new Suggest Erases , which automatically detects passersby with the tap of a button.
- Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original enables real-time comparison of original images and edited versions on the large screen, making it easier to decide what to modify and what to keep.
- Audio Eraser has also been upgraded to be more intelligent and convenient. There’s a new toggle in Gallery, and it now proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise like wind or traffic from video recordings.
- Designed as a true multimodal agent, One UI 8 seamlessly combines large-screen multitasking with intelligent tools that understand what users type, say and even see. And with an AI-powered camera and privacy built into every layer, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes a smart and secure personal assistant, ready to help anytime, anywhere.
- Launching with the all-new One UI 8 on Android 16, Galaxy Z Fold7 debuts Samsung’s latest AI-powered platform on foldables, delivering the latest Android experience straight out of the box.
- Gemini Live is now enhanced with multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do, making it possible to seamlessly type or speak contextual questions and get answers without having to toggle back and forth between apps. And with screen sharing on Gemini Live or camera sharing on Gemini Live, you can simply show Gemini what users are looking at on the screen or on the camera, then ask questions to get instant insights.
- With Circle to Search, gaming tips appear exactly when and where you need them. Just circle an item on screen and get instant results, tips or tactics in a floating view that ensures a smooth, uninterrupted experience.
- With Galaxy AI Optimized for Large Screens, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers experiences that maximize the benefits of the expansive foldable display to boost productivity. AI Results View displays results from AI features in a separate Split View or in a Floating View, so the user’s original content remains unobstructed and visible. Users can be more efficient with Drag & Drop AI-generated content, including images and text, directly from Multi Window. With tools like Drawing Assist or Writing Assist, it’s easier than ever to move ideas and visuals, enabling a smoother creative process.

Philippine Ballet Theatre Premieres “Maria Makiling”
Meet the Visionaries Behind Maria Makiling: Choreographer Ronilo Jaynario and Composer Paulo Zarate
As Philippine Ballet Theatre prepares to bring Maria Makiling to the stage, much anticipation surrounds the creative forces behind this powerful new Filipino ballet. At the heart of this production is a remarkable collaboration between two artistic visionaries: Ronilo Jaynario and Paulo Zarate. Together, they have carved a dynamic partnership that continues to elevate Filipino stories through dance and music.
Ronilo Jaynario: The Storyteller Through MovementSince 2009, Ronilo Jaynario has served as the Artistic Director of the Philippine Ballet Theatre, bringing with him decades of experience and a deeply rooted passion for Filipino culture and classical dance. His journey began at just 13 years old as a select scholar at the Philippine High School for the Arts in Mt. Makiling, Laguna—an early connection that makes Maria Makiling especially meaningful.
After continuing his studies at the University of the Philippines, Jaynario joined the prestigious U.P. Dance Company. His early promise quickly earned him international invitations, including performances at the 1992 Singapore Arts Festival, the Baguio Arts Festival, and the Bay Area Dance Series in the USA.
In 1995, Jaynario officially joined the Philippine Ballet Theatre, eventually rising to Premier Danseur and dancing major classical roles across the globe—including tours in Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and more. He also proudly represented the country in the ASEAN Flagship Voyage, which showcased Filipino artistry in ASEAN nations and Europe.
As the youngest and most seasoned Artistic Director in the company’s history, Jaynario is known for infusing his works with authenticity, cultural depth, and a keen emotional sensibility. With Maria Makiling, he continues this tradition by exploring themes of love, loss, and the importance of preserving Filipino heritage.
Paulo Zarate: The Composer Who Gives Soul to the StoryThe music of Maria Makiling comes to life through the genius of Paulo Zarate, a multi-awarded composer, arranger, and producer whose contributions to Philippine music span decades and genres. Zarate's resume includes work as a film composer, musical director, music consultant, and record producer. His creations have earned accolades from major institutions including the Awit Awards, Araw Values Awards, Ad Congress, Anvil, and even international recognitions like the Stevie Awards.
As the owner of Studio Z Audio Productions and Recording Studios, Zarate has collaborated with top networks, record labels, and advertising agencies both locally and internationally. He is also the President of RO3ph Studio Corp, a media production company, and a co-founder and former program head of the Music Business Management program at Meridian International College (MINT College).
Zarate’s collaboration with Jaynario is built on mutual trust and creative freedom, giving each ballet its own unique sound. From the heroic themes of Ibalon to the rhythmic richness of Sarimanok, and now to the folkloric charm of Maria Makiling, his compositions are crafted to reflect the heart of each story.
