Two screens for different moments

Unfold the phone for a 7.6-inch main screen, or use the 5.5-inch cover screen while it is closed. Both use Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology and support a 120 Hz maximum refresh rate. The main screen also has an anti-reflective finish and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits. Screen sizes are measured diagonally as full rectangles; the actual viewable area is smaller because of the rounded corners and camera opening.

Two 50 MP rear cameras and 8K video

The rear system pairs a 50 MP wide camera with Dual Pixel focusing and optical image stabilization with a 50 MP ultra-wide camera for broader scenes. Adaptive Pixel sensor technology enables 2x optical-quality zoom, while digital zoom extends up to 10x. Video recording reaches UHD 8K at 30 fps, with Pro Video, Slow motion, Hyperlapse and Portrait Video modes also available. Separate 10 MP front and cover cameras let you take selfies with the phone open or closed.

A 201 g folding design

The body measures 4.5 mm deep when unfolded and 9.7 mm when folded. Its Armor FlexHinge and dual-layer Flex Titanium display support are paired with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the rear. The Armor Aluminum frame excludes the volume and side keys, SIM tray and camera lens barrel.

The IP48 water-resistance rating is based on immersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. Water resistance can diminish with wear or damage, so avoid pool water, seawater and pressurized water. Dry the device and USB port before charging or connecting accessories.

Android 17, One UI 9 and Samsung DeX

Samsung offers up to seven operating-system upgrades, with security support through July 31, 2033; update availability and timing depend on the market, network provider and model. S Pen is not supported.
