Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 in the UAE: What you need to know


Alvin R Cabral

Samsung doubled down on its "slim" strategy at the second Galaxy Unpacked event this year.

The South Korean tech giant introduced the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7, as it continues its dominance in the small but growing category.

Here's a run down of what you need to know for the new smartphones in the UAE. Orders are now live and the devices will be available starting July 25.

Galaxy Z Fold7

Samsung's premium smartphone is now even sleeker. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is now the slimmest in the category, though still not as thin as the Galaxy S25 Edge (when unfolded).

Its displays have been made even bigger: the main screen measures 8 inches (203.2mm), while its cover is now 6.5 inches (165.1mm).

The company went with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which was also used in the Galaxy S25 series. This processor is able to boost the Fold7's neural processing by up to 41 per cent, its CPU by up to 38 per cent and its GPU by up to 26 per cent, compared to the Fold6.

Its camera, meanwhile, now boasts a 200MP main sensor, which is on par with the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra – though the Fold7 still only has three cameras compared to the S25 Ultra's quad setup.

Samsung says the Fold7's 200MP sensor should be able to provide up to four times more detail and 56 per cent more brightness, while its 12MP ultra-wide camera adds 56 per cent more brightness, in addition to up to 3x optical zoom. The selfie camera is 17 per cent wider and 2.5 times clearer.

The Fold7 still comes in three storage options – 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. Its RAM now has a new 16GB tier – only for the 1TB model – in addition to the mainstay 12GB for the others.

As expected, Samsung raised the prices of the Fold7: from the Fold6's Dh7,199, Dh7,699 and Dh8,699, the Fold7 devices now cost Dh7,599, Dh8,099 and Dh9,349.

Galaxy Z Flip7

While not as slim as the Fold7, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is still the thinnest in its range, and the pocket-sized smartphone comes with token upgrades.

Arguably its biggest change is its bigger cover screen – called the FlexWindow – which is now edge-to-edge and measures 4.1 inches (104.1mm). That's a sizeable increase compared to the Flip6's 3.4 inches (86.4mm) and results in a 1.25mm bezel, which Samsung says is the thinnest in the entire Galaxy range.

Its main display is now 6.9 inches (175.3mm), bigger than the Galaxy S25+ and on par with the S25 Ultra.

Its dual camera system is untouched, maintaining a 50MP lead sensor, although Samsung says it maintains "flagship-level photography" and its "best selfie camera yet".

Storage and RAM options are unchanged from the Flip6 at 256GB and 512GB, and 12GB, respectively. Ditto for prices: the Flip7 costs Dh4,299 and Dh4,799.

Galaxy Z Flip7 FE

It was only a matter of time before a foldable Fan Edition came our way – and here is it with the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE.

Samsung FE devices – which started with the Galaxy Note7 FE, the refurbished version of the recalled Note7 in 2016 – are variants that feature stripped-down specs, but are still very much capable and, importantly, more affordable.

The Flip7 FE seems to be a move towards attracting more consumers to Samsung's foldables – especially considering that the device's 128GB and 256GB versions cost only Dh3,499 and Dh3,739, respectively.

However, you'll be limited to low storage, smaller displays – the Flip7 FE retains the Flip6's screen sizes – a smaller battery, lower resolution and an older Exynos chip.

The Flip7 FE's camera, however, is the same as the Flip7. You also get the full stack of Google Gemini features.

For all the new smartphones, Samsung is bringing back its double-the-storage online offer, meaning consumers can buy a 512GB Fold7 or Flip7, or a 256GB Flip7 FE, for the price of a 256GB and 128GB model, respectively – in addition to other benefits. Also, Samsung is currently offering Dh625 off the 1TB Fold7.

UAE telecom operators e& and du, as well as other select retailers, are now accepting orders with the same promotion.

Four new Google Gemini features

Aside from the free six-month subscription to Google AI Pro announced at Unpacked, the Alphabet-owned company has added four new features to its Gemini generative AI platform on the new Galaxy phones.

These include AI Mode on Circle to Search, which can now handle "tougher questions" and follow-ups, screen and camera sharing, connectivity to Samsung apps and being built in to the Galaxy Watch 8.

Galaxy Watch 8 series

Speaking of that, Samsung's newest digital timepieces, the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic, are being billed as the "most comfortable".

Samsung also beefed up its health features, including tools to measure vascular load to monitor stress levels, bedtime guidance and, for what Samsung says is the first time for a smartwatch, an antioxidant index, which measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds to "make informed lifestyle choices for healthy ageing".

Even more important, the Watch8 devices come with Google Gemini out of the box.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra also comes with a new titanium blue finish.

The Watch8 models, measuring 40mm and 44mm, are priced at Dh1,299 and Dh1,399, respectively, while the 46mm Watch8 Classic is Dh1,849. The high-end 47mm Watch Ultra costs Dh2,499.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.

Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.

“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.

Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.

From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.

Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.

BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.

Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.

Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.

“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.

“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.

“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

Other must-tries

Tomato and walnut salad

A lesson in simple, seasonal eating. Wedges of tomato, chunks of cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, coriander or parsley leaves, and perhaps some fresh dill are drizzled with a crushed walnut and garlic dressing. Do consider yourself warned: if you eat this salad in Georgia during the summer months, the tomatoes will be so ripe and flavourful that every tomato you eat from that day forth will taste lacklustre in comparison.

Badrijani nigvzit

A delicious vegetarian snack or starter. It consists of thinly sliced, fried then cooled aubergine smothered with a thick and creamy walnut sauce and folded or rolled. Take note, even though it seems like you should be able to pick these morsels up with your hands, they’re not as durable as they look. A knife and fork is the way to go.

Pkhali

This healthy little dish (a nice antidote to the khachapuri) is usually made with steamed then chopped cabbage, spinach, beetroot or green beans, combined with walnuts, garlic and herbs to make a vegetable pâté or paste. The mix is then often formed into rounds, chilled in the fridge and topped with pomegranate seeds before being served.

Safety 'top priority' for rival hyperloop company

The chief operating officer of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Andres de Leon, said his company's hyperloop technology is “ready” and safe.

He said the company prioritised safety throughout its development and, last year, Munich Re, one of the world's largest reinsurance companies, announced it was ready to insure their technology.

“Our levitation, propulsion, and vacuum technology have all been developed [...] over several decades and have been deployed and tested at full scale,” he said in a statement to The National.

“Only once the system has been certified and approved will it move people,” he said.

HyperloopTT has begun designing and engineering processes for its Abu Dhabi projects and hopes to break ground soon. 

With no delivery date yet announced, Mr de Leon said timelines had to be considered carefully, as government approval, permits, and regulations could create necessary delays.

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?

Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.

They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.

“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.

He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.
