Gurugram, July 2025.
Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today
said that it is witnessing unprecented demand for the Galaxy Z Fold7, with the
smartphone being ‘out-of-stock’ in select markets across the country. The
company is taking necessary steps at its manufacturing factory in Noida to meet
the unprecedented demand.
Samsung India had earlier announced that
it has received a record 210,000 pre-orders for its seventh generation
foldables - Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy ZFlip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE – in just 48
hours in India - signaling rapid mainstreaming of the foldable form factor in
India.
“We would like to thank India’s tech-savvy consumers for giving
the Galaxy Z Fold7 a blockbuster start. We are aware that many markets in the
country are facing a shortfall due to huge demand. We are working overtime to
ensure adequate supplies of our most advanced smartphone, to enable customers to
enjoy the Galaxy Z Fold7 at the earliest. The strong demand is coming from both
retail markets and online platforms,” said Raju
Pullan, Senior Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.
Galaxy Z Fold7, in
its thinnest and lightest design to date, weighs just 215 grams - even lighter
than Galaxy S25 Ultra. It is just 8.9 mm thick when folded and 4.2 mm thick
when unfolded. Galaxy Z Fold7 is
available in stunning colours such as Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Mint and Jet
Black.
Commenting on the
strong demand, Nilesh Gupta, Director at
Vijay Sales, a key retail partner for the smartphone across India, said,
"Samsung’s seventh generation of foldable smartphones, especially the
Galaxy Z Fold7, has been performing exceptionally well across our stores. We
have witnessed extraordinary demand, with most of our top outlets in key cities
already running out of stock. It is clear that customers are thrilled with the
innovation and premium experience the device offers, signaling mainstreaming of
foldable smartphones.”
"Samsung's
seventh generation of foldable smartphones, notably the Galaxy Z Fold7, has
demonstrated remarkable sales performance across our retail network. We are
observing a surge in demand, with many of our flagship stores in key urban
areas experiencing stock depletion. This indicates a strong customer reception
of the foldable smartphones,” said
Sandeep Singh Jolly, Chief Operating Officer at Electronics Mart India
Ltd(Bajaj Electronics).
Uvaraj Natarajan, Founder and CEO, Poorvika Mobiles,
said, "Galaxy
Z Fold7 has been a great success with a fabulous response across regions.
Stocks are getting liquidated as soon as they are getting delivered to our
stores."
Designed as a true
multimodal agent, One UI 8 available in the Galaxy Z Fold7 helps seamlessly
combine large-screen multitasking with intelligent tools that understand what
users’ type, say and even see. Thanks to Google’s Gemini Live, users can share
their screen in real time while speaking with the AI assistant — enabling
contextual requests based on what’s visible. In addition, One UI 8 brings
enhanced privacy to personalized AI experiences with the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted
Protection (KEEP). KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments
within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring each app can access only its
own sensitive information and nothing more.
The Armor FlexHinge
on Galaxy Z Fold7 is thinner and lighter, thanks to an enhanced water droplet
design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduces visible
creasing. The cover display is made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a
new glass ceramic that has crystals intricately embedded within its glass
matrix. 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.
Powered by the
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, Galaxy Fold7 delivers stupendous 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. In addition, with the first 200MP
wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, it captures 4x more detail, producing
images that are 44% brighter. In addition, Samsung’s next-generation ProVisual
Engine processes images faster.
