Samsung hosted its prestigious Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in New Delhi, making India the global launchpad for its newest foldables and wearables. The event marked the debut of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and the budget-friendly Z Flip7 FE, along with the Galaxy Watch8 series — all powered by Galaxy AI, a suite of smart features built in collaboration with Google Gemini.
As always, The Unbiased Review brings you a clear, factual, and jargon-free breakdown of everything announced.
Galaxy Z Fold7: More Refined, Still Premium
Samsung’s latest Fold device is slimmer and smarter, with noticeable improvements in design and AI functionality. It’s a productivity-first foldable, but now more pocketable than before.
Specs Overview:
-
Thinner profile (8.9 mm when folded), lighter design
-
6.5-inch cover screen, 8.0-inch main display
-
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 with AI processing
-
200 MP primary camera, enhanced low-light photos
-
On-device Galaxy AI: Translate, Summarise, Multitask Assist
India Price: ₹1,74,999
Availability: Ships from July 25
Editorial Insight: While the Z Fold7 is Samsung’s most refined foldable yet, the lack of S Pen support could be a miss for productivity-focused users.
Galaxy Z Flip7: Bigger Flex Display, More Functionality
Designed for compact-phone lovers, the Galaxy Z Flip7 now comes with a larger 4.1-inch FlexWindow and several AI features you can use without even flipping open the device.
Key Highlights:

-
Smart Replies and Call Summary via Gemini AI
-
FlexWindow runs full apps and messages
-
4,300 mAh battery for longer use
India Price: ₹1,09,999
Our Take: With better cameras and real-world AI enhancements, the Flip7 strikes a balance between style and function — but the premium price remains a barrier for mainstream adoption.
Galaxy Z Flip7 FE: Foldable for Under ₹1 Lakh
Samsung has finally introduced a budget foldable for the Indian market. The Flip7 FE delivers a near-complete foldable experience at a lower cost, with a few hardware trade-offs.
Details:
-
Same form factor as Flip7
-
Trimmed-down processor and camera
-
AI features supported, with slight limitations
India Price: ₹89,999 (128 GB) | ₹95,999 (256 GB)
Editorial Note: The Z Flip7 FE could be Samsung’s key to driving foldable adoption in India — a smart pricing move, provided the performance stays consistent.

Unbiased View: With accurate health data and AI-driven coaching, the Watch8 lineup stands out — especially the Ultra for outdoors and endurance sports.

Samsung emphasizes that many of these features run on-device, meaning improved speed and better privacy.
