Samsung’s Sleekest Devices Yet Just Landed in the UAE
Slimmer, lighter, and powered by Galaxy AI, Samsung’s new foldables and wearables make a case for thoughtful tech that is made to fit beautifully into everyday life
Good design isn’t merely about looks but also, it’s the kind that slips effortlessly into a handbag or the back pocket of your jeans, feels weightless in your hand, and works seamlessly.
At Samsung’s Dubai launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Watch8 Series, it became clear that functionality and elegance are no longer mutually exclusive. These new devices bring together intelligent engineering with sleek aesthetics, proving that cutting-edge technology can, and should, be just as considered as the accessories you carry.
Unveiled at the BCH:CLB beach club in Dubai, the launch brought together hands-on demonstrations across four curated zones, including business, lifestyle and fashion, health and fitness, and travel and photography.
Next-Generation Foldables
The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 represent the most refined versions of Samsung’s foldable smartphones to date. As the thinnest and lightest of the Z Series so far, both devices are powered by Galaxy AI, enabling them to respond intuitively to everyday tasks, whether that’s editing your next Instagram post, planning a trip, or staying in touch with loved ones.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 offers an expansive screen that opens up new possibilities for streaming, gaming, and multitasking, with fluid app interactions optimised for the foldable format. It also introduces Camera and Screen Sharing with Gemini Live, allowing users to talk naturally with Gemini about what they’re viewing, for instance, sharing a snapshot of a local dish while travelling and asking where to find something similar nearby. A 200MP Ultra-grade high-resolution camera provides professional-grade flexibility, while Generative Edit automatically detects unwanted background elements and suggests what to remove, making touch-ups effortless.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip7 brings the same level of intelligence in a more compact, fashion-forward form. With its edge-to-edge FlexWindow, users can check notifications, control music, view ride-share details or fitness stats, all without unfolding the device. Gemini Live is also available through Camera Sharing in Flex Mode, enabling real-time conversations about what’s captured on screen. New creative tools like Portrait Studio for Pet allow users to transform any pet photo into a stylised artwork, choosing from a range of finishes including 3D cartoon, artistic painting, and fisheye effects.
On the Wrist: The Galaxy Watch8 Series
Completing the new line-up is the Galaxy Watch8 Series, including Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and the latest Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. All three reflect Samsung’s signature design re-engineering, ultra-thin cushion silhouettes, a flexible Dynamic Lug system, and improved sensor contact for more precise readings.
Powered by the brand’s BioActive Sensor, the watches offer real-time insights across stress, sleep, nutrition, and activity. Motivational cues, instant rewards, and timely alerts create an experience that encourages healthier habits throughout the day. For the first time, the Galaxy Watch8 introduces an Antioxidant Index feature, allowing users to measure carotenoid levels, which is an important marker for healthy ageing, in just five seconds.
Immersive Galaxy Experience Spaces
To celebrate the launch, Samsung expanded its Galaxy Experience Spaces to include Dubai, alongside other major cities such as London, Paris, New York and Seoul. These interactive installations gave early visitors a chance to explore the devices’ AI capabilities, camera features, and lifestyle integration through curated zones and community-led sessions, including a Galaxy Photo Masterclass and skateboarding demos.
A new Experience Store locator feature on Samsung.com also makes it easier for UAE users to find their nearest retail destination and explore the devices firsthand.
