Humane AI pin was a flop… so I used the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 as an AI device in my jeans pocket
Hypothesis: Flip phones are the most compact AI smart devices you can buy Test Device: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 The Rabbit R1 and Humane AI pin were flops. But maybe that approach to getting an AI device juggernaut rolling was premature. Maybe the answer lies elsewhere. Maybe the answer lies in a flip phone. The flip has been a popular form factor for early mobile phones for two decades. With the foldables, this form factor has got a new lease of life, primarily catering to those who find it awkward to carry a bulky smartphone. But the fact is that this is a smaller set of people as the 6-inch-plus smartphone has found widespread acceptance across users over the past many years. But a flip phone might be the AI device we can all reach for. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is an evolution of what Samsung thinks the flip form factor should be. It has become thinner compared to the earlier generation and offers a much more robust hinge mechanism which leaves no daylight between the two sides of the phone. Folded, the phone is just 13.7 mm, which is the thinnest a flip phone has ever been. I often kept forgetting I had this phone in my pants or jeans pocket, especially since the phone is just 188 grams heavy. It slips in perfectly well into your shirt pocket, too, and does not even make it sag because of the weight. But a smartphone can't just be about the smaller footprint. It is all about having a practical phone despite its smaller size. As someone who has used all flip phones from Samsung so far, what surprised me first was how the cover display had changed. It is now an edge-to-edge display with a 10.48 cm (1048 x 948p) screen that is stunning to look at. There is something about using this screen as a mirror by just unlocking the camera with a quick swipe on the camera icon. I would say this is the most impactful part of this phone. I say this because now you can use all the AI capabilities of this phone without flipping it open. That is a superpower, making this a tiny AI device that can answer all your queries and do research for you. In fact, open the voice mode and you can have a conversation with Gemini even as it is tucked away in your shirt pocket. I think this is the most compact AI device that has been created so far. You can ask Gemini what it sees on the camera, even though it will end up seeing you most of the time. It could not recognise me, but thought it saw a man with spectacles. I can, of course, flip the camera side to face away and get a commentary on what it is seeing. This is an accessibility feature as well as a bridge for those who are travelling to new places and encountering new languages, and the fact is that in the folded form, the camera is going to be staring at you, and if you turn the camera to the other side, you lose visibility of the screen. You can also have the phone in your pocket and you can go for a walk chatting with Gemini, or even ChatGPT, learning Game Theory, or validating an idea you have. The screen offers a lot of widgets that let you keep track of stuff without opening the phone itself. For instance, quick news alerts on the minus screen, then widgets that give you access to stocks, weather, your notes, playlists, and the like. A lot can be covered here. But that does not mean all your apps can be added to this screen. This real estate is limited to some functions. When open, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a full-fledged smartphone in all respects. In fact, it is a flagship phone given the 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen and Exynos Deca-Core processor. At no point do you feel this phone will not be able to take on a certain task. From regular multitasking to running AI and intelligent features integrated in the OS, the phone is capable of everything you expect from a flagship. And as you use the open phone for gaming or typing, once in a while, your finger moves over the part where the fold is, and you realise this is actually a different phone from the ones you are used to. The camera is another aspect of this phone that has gotten better. With a 50MP Wide and a 12MP ultra-wide, this phone offers what most users want. It can click wonderful selfies without you even opening the phone, and by just tapping the cover screen. Plus, the phone offers camcorder-like capabilities where you use one part of the screen as a controller, while the other gives you creative angles. The results were sharp and rich, especially in good light. Despite its form factor, the Galaxy Z Flip7 has a large 4300 mAh battery that lasts a full day with all your heavy lifting. The phone can be brought back to life quickly, and there is wireless charging as well. But, I found the phone has a tendency to heat a bit while charging, and while downloading apps, etc. Maybe Samsung will have to push an update to sort this out. On the lock screen, the Samsung Wallet keeps appearing when you swipe. This can be a bit irritating for users who have not set this up. It would be better if this could be customised to apps the user prefers — I could not find a way to change this. But while on the larger screen, you have the pull-out dock where AI apps are given prominence, along with other custom app settings. This is a good value add for users. Yes, if you are one of those who have had enough of large smartphones and want a communication device that is smart enough to not show you six plus inches of screen all the time. The Galaxy Z Flip7 is great for those who want an AI companion in their jeans pocket or clutch bag that can transform into a large smartphone when needed, doing what large smartphones do.

Owners can't open Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7: Here's why users are sticking tape to a 1.7 lakh phone
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 has received plenty of praise for its slender build and smooth performance. However, a growing number of owners are reporting a practical drawback: the device is so thin that it is often difficult to open, particularly for those who like using it one-handed or need to fold and unfold the phone on the move. Many Galaxy Z Fold 7 users say the narrow sides do not give enough space for fingers to grip the phone securely. This becomes a real problem because the powerful magnets that keep the phone shut need a fair bit of force to overcome. Several people online worry they might drop their expensive device if they try to open it too quickly, especially when their hands are full, such as while shopping or running errands. Some owners thought that putting a case on the device might help, and many found that a case does add extra grip, making it simpler to open the phone. However, not everyone wants to hide the slimness or design of their Fold 7 under a bulky cover. A group of users began experimenting with other options. Grip tapes like CatTongue or Dragon Grips provide a rougher texture and can be added to the phone's sides. This lets fingers get a better grip for opening, without changing the phone's original shape much. Others have tried coloured skins or special grip strips, but coverage for the Fold 7's side frame is sometimes limited. If you don't want to spend extra on accessories, some experienced Fold 7 users share an effective method that needs only your hands. With the phone closed, place one thumb on each half of the device, not side-by-side but one after the other. Your middle and ring fingers go on the phone's hinge at the back. Apply gentle, downward pressure, this technique helps unfold the phone easily and reduces the risk of slips without scratching or using your nails. What can users do? Some have learned to work with the phone's slim design, but others say opening the Fold 7 is tougher than on earlier Samsung foldables, largely because of the thinner build and stronger magnets. What could be improveD? A grippier texture to the frame or designing a small indentation to help people get a better hold. For now, most people agree: adding grip tape, choosing a grippy case, or learning a careful finger technique are the best ways to make everyday use of the Fold 7 easier and safer. As smartphone makers keep making devices even slimmer and lighter, user comfort and secure grip could become key features for future designs.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Evolves as a practical daily driver beyond multitasking
Samsung's seventh generation foldable finally feels like it has found the right note. I've been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for a couple of weeks and can feel the difference in its slim and light design while doubling on sturdiness and in-hand feel. Galaxy Z Fold 7 also brings deeply infused Galaxy AI and the newly introduced One UI 8 which is becoming more refined and personalised. Galaxy Z Fold 7 battles with the newly launched Vivo X Fold 5 with its latest processor, improved camera and a hard to beat ecosystem. Let's find out how Fold 7 performs against its rival. Design and Display The Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not have a radical shift from its predecessor, but all the little tweaks add up smartly. In hand, the difference in thickness and weight is immediately noticeable. Closed, it's about the same thickness as a regular phone. Samsung managed to shave off roughly 24 grams to achieve 215 grams compared to last year. The hinge feels robust and opens smoothly with just enough resistance to hold at half-fold for laptop-mode. The aluminium frame, Gorilla Glass Victus at back and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on cover make it less scratch-prone than before. When closed, it measures just 8.9 mm thick and 4.2 mm when open. It bears the IP48 rating which means it can only handle spills. The build is sturdier yet sleeker, the folding mechanism feels smooth, and the creased center is now almost invisible unless you look for it. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) The displays are gorgeous too. The cover screen is a 6.5-inch FHD+, AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It's bright and feels like using a normal phone which is good because a foldable fails if the outer screen isn't good enough to use. I was replying to messages, scrolling, and even snapping quick photos with the Fold 7 closed and never felt cramped. Open it up, and you're greeted by a massive 8-inch main AMOLED QXGA+ screen with same dynamic refresh rate and 2,600 nits bright. Samsung made a controversial choice to drop S Pen support entirely this year with no digitiser layer in the screen because it helped make the screen thinner, stronger with a reduced crease. Performance and Software Galaxy Z Fold 7 is as high-end as it gets. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip inside is a mouthful, but basically, it's one of the fastest mobile processors you can get right now. Paired with 12 GB of RAM, it absolutely flies. Everything launches instantaneously and multitasking is silky smooth. Thermals are well-managed too. What really shines is how Samsung's One UI 8 based on Android 16 takes advantage of the big display. Multitasking feels natural. You can run up to three apps in split-screen and even have floating windows on top if you're feeling wild. I often had two apps open side by side while watching a YouTube video without any lag. The new One UI adds handy features like a persistent taskbar that makes app switching a breeze. Also, Samsung's Flex Mode is improved with a lot of apps now supporting the half-screen controls, turning the bottom half into a touchpad or playback controls while the top shows the content. It's great for YouTube, camera mode, and even some editing apps. Essentially, the Fold 7 feels like a tiny laptop when you want it to, which has been the foldable promise all along. On the software front, Samsung has thrown in everything including the kitchen sink. All the new AI-based features from the Galaxy S25 series are here, from on-device voice transcription to advanced photo editing and that smart Now Playing widget on the lockscreen. Samsung has also committed 7 years of software support for this phone, so you're future-proofed in that regard. Camera Foldables historically had to compromise on cameras due to space, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 finally packs a setup that doesn't feel like a downgrade. The phone inherits a lot from the Galaxy S25 lineup. You get a triple camera on the back: a whopping 200 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide, and a 10 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. There are two selfie cameras: a 10 MP on the cover screen and another 10 MP main display. In practice, the main camera is an absolute beast. It captures sharp, vibrant shots that rival any flagship out there. In daylight, photos are crisp with excellent dynamic range. Low light performance also saw a boost; the large sensor pulls in a lot of detail and Samsung's image processing has gotten more balanced. I took some night skyline shots and only when I zoomed in, I noticed a bit of softness, otherwise, it's flagship-quality imaging. The 3x telephoto is solid for portraits and getting closer shots; it's not as impressive as the 10x zooms some slab phones have, but it holds its own. The 12 MP ultrawide shots look fine, at night or in complex lighting it can't capture as much detail. That said, it's okay for casual wide shots or group photos, just not the X factor of this camera system. One perk of the foldable form: you can use the rear cameras for selfies by unfolding the phone partway and using the cover screen as a preview. A bit clunky, but the results are miles better than the built-in selfie cams, especially in low light. The actual front cameras are 10 MP with good colours and they even handle tricky backlighting. In the camera app you can preview shots on one side and view the last photo on the other side, which is good. The Fold 7's cameras are no longer a big compromise. Samsung effectively gave it an S-series calibre main camera, so you're not missing much versus a standard Galaxy S25 Ultra or other flagships. Battery Battery life on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 surprised me, in a good way. Even though the capacity is around 4,400 mAh, the efficiency of the new chip and software optimisations help it go the distance. In my daily use, which involves a mix of big-screen and cover-screen time, I consistently get through a full day and often into the next morning before needing a charge. Overall, most people will get a comfortable day of use. Samsung hasn't improved on charging speed, still 25W wired charging support and 15W wireless charging. In absolute terms, 25W is pretty sluggish now and it takes more than an hour to go from 0 to 100%. It could have gone up to 45W with Fold 7. Verdict Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a foldable that can genuinely replace your phone and tablet. Samsung has refined the hardware to a point where Fold 7 isn't just a phone but evolves as a practical daily driver that goes beyond multitasking. The design improvements make a huge difference in day-to-day convenience. Performance is top tier; the cameras no longer play the second lead hiding under the guise of productivity and the battery life is solid enough to take it through a day. However, Samsung did remove the S Pen functionality, which I personally don't use much, and has not improved the charging speed. It could have also added a layer of dust and pressure resistance as did the Vivo's X Fold 5. Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at ₹1,74,999 and competes with the recently reviewed Vivo's X Fold 5 which is under ₹1.50 lakh but with last year's processor. Perhaps, Samsung's expertise and ecosystem gives the Fold 7 an edge over its rival. If you love large screens and multitasking, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the most polished and user-friendly fold yet.
