Samsung, known for bringing transformative changes in the tech world, has once again taken the lead. The company’s latest foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold7, has now been officially launched in India. This time, Samsung has taken a significant leap not only in hardware but also in camera technology and AI-powered features.
For the first time, the Galaxy Z Fold7 comes equipped with a 200MP camera sensor, turning it into a portable studio that fits right into any content creator’s pocket. Whether it’s night photography, macro shots, video editing, or high-quality social media content, users can now produce professional-grade results effortlessly.
200MP Camera System
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is Samsung’s first foldable smartphone to feature a 200MP wide-angle primary camera — the same powerful camera tech used in premium devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. With this camera:
- Every shot captures incredible detail — even the tiniest textures appear sharp and clear.
- Compared to the Fold6, photos are 44% brighter and offer 4x more detail.
- Even with 2x optical-grade zoom, image quality remains intact — allowing cropping and zooming without compromise.
- With an ultra-fast 7x faster shutter speed, no moment goes uncaptured — be it a running child or a firework lighting up the sky.
From Ultra-Wide to Macro
The 12MP ultra-wide camera now supports autofocus, allowing it to double up as a macro shooter. It’s ideal for close-up shots of jewellery, artworks, or textured surfaces.
- The Dual Camera Depth Calibration system automatically selects the best lens (wide or ultra-wide) based on the scene — eliminating the need for manual switching.
- Fast and precise autofocus ensures every close-up is sharp and professional.
Front Camera: Wider, Sharper, More Natural Selfies
The Galaxy Z Fold7’s 10MP front camera now features a 100-degree wide-angle lens, making it perfect for group selfies — no need to ask anyone to take the shot.
- Compared to the Fold6, this camera captures selfies that are 25% wider and 2.5x clearer.
- AI-powered Wide Distortion Correction helps retain natural facial features.
- With Enhanced HDR, Skin Tone Optimisation, and AI filters inspired by analog films, your selfies can look straight out of an art gallery.
Generative AI Editing
The Galaxy Z Fold7 does more than capture photos — it helps you edit them like a pro. With advanced AI tools, this device becomes a pocket-sized creative studio.
- Generative Edit technology now produces 18x fewer errors and 4x less texture distortion.
- Remove unwanted shadows, reflections, or objects with a single tap.
- Suggest Erase automatically identifies and recommends distracting elements for removal.
- The Side-by-Side Editing Mode lets you compare the original and edited images on the same screen.
- The Portrait Studio feature now works on both human and pet portraits, adding expressive depth.
