Galaxy Z Fold 7: from $799 w/ trade-in @ SamsungSamsung is knocking up to $1,150 off Galaxy Z Fold 7 preorders when you trade-in an older phone. Additionally, you'll get a free storage upgrade with your preorder. The phone features an 8-inch AMOLED (2184 x 1968) 120Hz main display, 6.5-inch AMOLED (2520 x 1080) 120Hz cover display, Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. On the rear you get a 200MP f/1.7 main wide-angle lens, 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens, and 10MP f/2.4 telephoto lens. Selfie cams include a 10MP f/2.2 main display and cover camera. In our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, we called it the first foldable we'd want to carry and use all day.
This deal does have some requirements. First, you must trade in your old phone and in return Samsung will offer up to $1,000 in trade-in credit. You'll also get a $120 upgrade credit and a $50 limited time credit. In total, you could pay as little as $799 for this epic phone.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is $100 pricier than its predecessor. However, there are a lot of welcome improvements. For instance, its thinner than the Z Fold 6 and it also sports bigger displays in the form of an 8-inch main display and 6.5-inch inner display. There's also a better 200MP main camera.
Despite its thinner design, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is made to be tougher than its predecessor. It features a new Armor FlexHinge with a "water droplet design" and "multi-rail structure" for increased durability. It also uses a grade 4 titanium lattice and 50% thicker ultra thin glass for the main display.
Powering this beast is a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is the same silicon Samsung uses in its Galaxy S25 phones. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers all of the same Galaxy AI features as the Galaxy S25 series.
In our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, we said it feels like the holy grail of foldables with a terrific design, excellent displays, and great overall performance.

Musk announces Tesla, Samsung Electronics chip supply deal
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said late Sunday the automaker has signed a deal to obtain semiconductor chips from Samsung Electronics. The big picture: Samsung had announced Saturday that it had struck a $16.5 billion supply agreement, but it didn't name the company. The announcement comes after Samsung, one of the world's largest memory chip makers, acknowledged last year that it had fallen behind in the AI chips war. Driving the news: "Samsung's giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate," Musk wrote on his platform X. "Samsung currently makes AI4. TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then Arizona," Musk added. "Samsung agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency. This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress. And the fab is conveniently located not far from my house."

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 stuns in JerryRigEverything's brutal durability test
TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has successfully passed JerryRigEverything's intense durability test. The phone showed exceptional structural strength despite its ultra-thin design. Samsung has also greatly improved dust resistance on the phone. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just aced one of the internet's most famous durability tests. In a new video titled 'Samsung Z 7 Durability Test – The End is Near,' tech YouTuber Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything put Samsung's latest ultra-thin foldable through his battery of stress tests, including the dreaded bend test. While no Galaxy Fold device has ever snapped in half during one of Nelson's durability evaluations, the Z Fold 7's ultra-thin design had many, including us, expecting a different outcome this time around. What actually happened, however, was nothing short of remarkable. In a true showcase of Samsung's engineering prowess, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 not only withstood a forceful bend attempt, it came out with flying colors without the inner display cracking or creasing. Even Samsung's redesigned hinge remained intact at the end of the torture test. We genuinely expected the device to fail under physical pressure, but it retained full functionality, proving just how far Samsung has come in foldable phone durability. This is no small feat for a phone as thin and lightweight as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Nelson called it 'Literal black magic' in his video. Samsung also previously revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rated for an impressive 500,000 folds. That's nearly ten years of opening and closing the phone 150 times a day. So if you are eyeing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and were worried about the phone snapping in half, this durability test should give you confidence that Samsung has made a pretty strong device. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 also impressed in the dust exposure test. Despite having an IP48 rating, meaning it's not fully dustproof, the phone's display and hinge remained intact after being subject to a significant amount of dust and debris. That said, the inner screen of the phone still has some limitations. While the outer Gorilla Glass Victus 2-protected display of the Fold 7 held up well in JerryRigEverything's scratch tests (with deeper grooves at level 7), the inner flexible display began to scratch at level 2. That means even a forced fingernail or a toddler taking a pen to the phone can do damage. This is probably why Samsung includes one free screen protector replacement for the phone within the first year. All things considered, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be a landmark device for Samsung's design team. Between making the world's thinnest foldable and ensuring the phone can survive harsh durability tests, the company is redefining what users can expect from modern foldable smartphones.

Musk says Tesla, Samsung Electronics sign $16.5 billion chip supply deal
By Heekyong Yang and Hyunjoo Jin SEOUL (Reuters) - Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the U.S. automaker had signed a $16.5 billion deal to source chips from Samsung Electronics, a move expected to bolster the South Korean tech giant's loss-making contract manufacturing business. Samsung shares rose more than 4% after the news. "Samsung's giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate," Musk said in a post on X on Monday. If Musk was referring to Samsung's upcoming Taylor, Texas, plant, the deal could revive the project that has faced delays amid Samsung's struggles to retain and win major customers. "Samsung agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency. This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress. And the fab is conveniently located not far from my house," Musk said on his social media platform. Samsung had earlier announced the $16.5 billion chip supply deal without naming the client, saying the customer had requested confidentiality about the details of the deal, which will run through the end of 2033. Three sources briefed about the matter told Reuters that Tesla was the customer for the deal. The deal comes as Samsung faces mounting pressure in the race to produce artificial intelligence chips, where it trails rivals such as TSMC and SK Hynix. This lag has weighed heavily on its profits and share price. Samsung, the world's top memory chip maker, also makes logic chips designed by customers through its foundry business. Pak Yuak, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said the latest deal would help reduce losses at Samsung's foundry business, which he estimated exceeded 5 trillion won ($3.63 billion) in the first half of the year. Analysts say Samsung has struggled with the defection of key clients to TSMC for advanced chips. TSMC counts Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm among its customers. The Samsung-Tesla deal may also be significant for South Korea, which is seeking U.S. partnerships in chips and shipbuilding amid last-ditch efforts to reach a trade deal to eliminate or reduce potential 25% U.S. tariffs. Samsung is grappling to boost production yields of its latest 2-nanometer technology, but the order is unlikely to involve the cutting-edge tech, said Lee Min-hee, an analyst at BNK Investment & Securities. Samsung has been losing market share to TSMC in contract manufacturing, underscoring technological challenges the firm faces in mastering advanced chip manufacturing to attract clients like Apple and Nvidia, analysts said. ($1 = 1,378.7000 won)
