Summary

  • The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is reportedly the most popular book-style foldable of the brand.
  • It is set to produce 2,60,000 additional units of the smartphone in September 2025 to meet its increasing demand.
  • Key specs include a 200 MP primary camera, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 4.2mm thickness when unfolded.

Back in July 2025, Samsung announced the much awaited Galaxy Z Fold 7 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The book-style foldable became an instant hit thanks to the changes and upgrades it brought to the table. Now, after almost three months later, the craze for the Samsung foldable is nowhere near ending.

As per the South Korean tech publication The Elec, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the most popular book-style foldable from the brand yet. It has been so much in demand that Samsung had to produce extra units of the smartphone in August and is said to do the same in September as well.

The publication claims that Samsung is looking to produce 2,60,000 fresh units in September 2025 alone. For context, the brand produced 1,00,000 units back in August 2025. Hence, this time around, the brand has faced a demand jump of 160% from last month. This means that the brand is on track to exceed the initial expected shipment of 2.4 million units of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

A large part of this surge in jump is due to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's changes and features. For starters, this is Samsung's slimmest book-style foldable yet with a mere 4.2mm of thickness when unfolded and 8.9mm of thickness when folded. It is also lightweight at 215 grams.

  • One UI 8 based on Android 16
  • 4,400mAh battery, 25W USB-C charging, 15W wireless charging
