Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: A new perspective on foldables
Last week, I went with a friend who is looking to rent an apartment, and we met three or four local property dealers. All of them had Samsung Galaxy Z Folds. I wanted to ask what made them choose the Fold over other smartphones. I saw a post on Reddit asking the same question. Clearly, I wasn't the only one curious about why Delhi property dealers are so fascinated with the Galaxy Z Fold. Foldables may target a niche segment, but I was a bit surprised at how the Galaxy Z Fold is increasingly becoming popular among this sub-group, especially in a market like India. Although I still can't find an exact answer as to why real estate agents and property dealers prefer the Galaxy Z Fold, my guess is it's a mix of wanting to show success when meeting clients and the appeal of a larger screen, especially since many of them now run YouTube channels. It's a great perspective to have: understanding both the product and its prospective market, especially when you have been using the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 since its launch in New York earlier this month. I have used the Galaxy Z Fold in the past, but this time, the foldable feels very different. It almost seems like it's been designed to mimic a traditional bar-style smartphone. Exactly what I have been badly wanted from a foldable phone. While the price might initially seem expensive, there's clearly a market for it. I think it's now fair to say that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is probably a serious threat to high-end, traditional bar-style smartphones: the kind of phones we have all known and loved. At the same time, a device like this has the potential to create its own 'fold-verse' which Samsung has been aiming to build for a long time. Here's my review of the new Galaxy Z Fold 7. What: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7| Price: Rs 1,74,999 onwards Ever since foldables entered the market, I have had one major complaint. I have heard the same from colleagues in the tech industry: folding phones have always looked and felt too much like experimental devices, far removed from traditional bar-style phones like the Galaxy S25 and the iPhone. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, however, Samsung has finally addressed those concerns. The device is just 8.9mm thick when closed and 4.2mm when open. It also looks remarkably similar to a bar phone. That means the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is roughly the same size and weight as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, eliminating the extra bulk. For comparison, last year's Z Fold 6 was 12.1mm thick when closed and 5.6mm when open. The Google Pixel 9 Pro, another major flagship on the market, measures 10.5mm thick when folded, 5.1mm when unfolded, and weighs 257 grams. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 felt noticeably lighter in my hand (it weighs 215 grams; in fact, it's actually lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which weighs 227 grams), and I could feel the difference. Every day, I go for a morning walk, and I have a habit of holding my phone in my hand. Over the past week, while using the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it genuinely felt like I was holding a regular phone, not a foldable, which typically comes with added weight. This is a positive sign and could help change the perception many consumers have about foldables being bulky. Not only is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 slim and light, but it also has streamlined dimensions. I expected the difference in feel to be imperceptible but it was immediately noticeable. Anyone upgrading from a previous-generation Fold or experiencing a foldable for the first time will notice it, too. The IP48 rating for dust and water resistance (which can handle submersion up to 5 feet for 30 minutes), along with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, makes the Galaxy Z Fold 7 both durable and sturdy. The Z Fold 7 has all the qualities of a high-end flagship phone. Its metal and glass construction is finished with a fine matte texture, and the phone feels rock-solid. The hinge has improved, it's thinner and lighter, and the aluminum design adds extra sturdiness. I couldn't bend the phone, whether open or closed. Even when applying force, the Z Fold 7 remained rock solid. The device opens and closes flawlessly, and there's no gap when it's fully folded. My blue-coloured Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks absolutely top-notch, as if it were made for a C-level executive. While I liked the super-thin design and sleekness of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, unfolding the device can be a little challenging. Because the thickness of the Z Fold 7 has been reduced further, opening the phone requires a bit of extra effort. However, snapping the phone shut is satisfying. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, like its predecessors, follows the same form factor as before: a foldable phone that opens like a book to become a tablet of sorts. That hasn't changed, though I would say the new Z Fold 7 is much better to use: both as a phone and as a tablet. The Z Fold 7's cover screen spans 6.5 inches, slightly larger than before, with narrower bezels, making it easier to use one-handed and eliminating the cramped feeling. Overall, it feels just as good and functional as a traditional smartphone. It's also wider now and has thinner bezels, which improves usability even further. I spent as much as 75 per cent of my time using the external cover screen, primarily for WhatsApp chats, browsing, and scrolling through LinkedIn and Instagram. The 120Hz, 6.5-inch display is one of the best parts of the Z Fold 7. While it may not seem like a huge upgrade on paper, it definitely feels like a giant leap over last year's Z Fold 6. I recommend trying the device at your local Samsung store before and see the difference yourself. Unfolded into tablet mode, the Z Fold 7 becomes a remarkably thin and lightweight tablet with slim display borders. At 8 inches, the tablet display is expansive, and its 2,600-nit peak brightness makes it easy to view content outdoors. There's also new technology that improves visibility while wearing polarised sunglasses. While my iPhone 16 Pro can't run two apps side by side, and the 13-inch iPad Air is too bulky to carry everywhere, especially on long-haul flights, where holding it for hours becomes uncomfortable: the Z Fold 7 comes in handy. I could carry it everywhere, even during my morning walk, and watch a soothing meditation session with ease. During a recent Metro ride from Janakpuri to Saket, I used the Z Fold 7 to read a long chapter of a book I had started, while also keeping an eye on Google Maps to track my location. And because the screen is now substantially larger (11 per cent bigger than the Z Fold 6's), it's possible to open and use three apps at once. I have used it to watch YouTube videos while catching up on the news, all with my to-do list open for the day. I could do it all at the same time and that's what sets foldables apart from regular smartphones. With the Z Fold 7, I can open apps from the external cover screen and smoothly launch one or multiple apps on the internal 8-inch display without any hiccups. Similar to the iPad, you can split the keyboard on the Z Fold 7 into two smaller panels, making it easier to type with both thumbs on the larger screen. While I wouldn't say typing on the 8-inch screen is completely smooth, even for someone with bigger hands, it definitely takes some getting used to, especially if you are accustomed to typing on a narrower phone like the iPhone 16 Pro. That said, it's still far more comfortable to type on than the iPad mini, thanks to the Z Fold 7's lighter weight and compact design, which makes it easier to hold in just one hand. Most apps work fine on a foldable phone, though certain apps like Instagram aren't fully optimised for the 8-inch screen. However, Google's own apps work flawlessly on the Z Fold 7. As I mentioned earlier, the 8-inch screen is excellent for productivity-focused use cases. Photos, videos, games, eBooks, and other types of content really shine, allowing you to see more detail. It's also handy for more complex tasks like searching for a foldable chair for your home and sharing the details on WhatsApp where a regular phone screen might feel cramped and limited. In such scenarios, the Z Fold 7 becomes a far more useful device. I also really like how the Fold 7's screen can bend at a 90-degree angle to show a YouTube video on the top portion, while keeping playback controls and video information on the bottom portion. Another way I used the Z Fold 7 frequently was for reading eBooks on the Kindle app. While it's not a new way to enjoy eBooks on foldables, I have always found this use case to feel more personal than anything else. The Z Fold 7 is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a choice of either 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. The chip also enables many Galaxy AI features (more on that later), as well as Gemini integration. I have tested several flagship devices with the 8 Elite chip, and the performance is just as strong as any other high-end Android smartphone. There's no perceivable difference when running apps or playing games on the Z Fold 7 compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Edge, which I reviewed recently. It comes out of the box with Android 16 and One UI 8, and Samsung promises seven years of OS and security updates. I also managed to pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the Z Fold 7 and used it as an alternative to a laptop. Although I wouldn't say it fully replaced my laptop, I was able to comfortably write a short 400-word copy. Thanks to the 8-inch screen, which is large enough to display multiple tabs, it almost feels like using a portable laptop. It's not something I would recommend for daily productivity but as an experiment, it was surprisingly fun. While the Z Fold 7's 4,400mAh battery is the same size as its predecessor's, you will notice slightly improved battery life thanks to the processor's enhanced power efficiency. The device lasted me over a day with regular browsing, texting, and WhatsApp use. Battery life largely depends on which display you use more: the cover screen or the larger inner display. Unfortunately, Samsung is still sticking with wired charging capped at 25 watts, which I'd say is rather slow compared to other flagship smartphones. Samsung has also packed the Z Fold 7 with its own Galaxy AI features, along with plenty of Google-powered AI capabilities. Some are great, while others still feel a bit underwhelming. Gemini Live, for example, is a hands-free AI feature that now allows screen sharing and camera access, so you can ask questions based on real-time context. The Now Bar and live notifications which display ongoing tasks such as music playing on Spotify are especially handy, appearing both on the lock screen and in the taskbar on the home screen. The triple camera system on the Z Fold 7 is headlined by a 200-megapixel main sensor, accompanied by a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. There are also 10-megapixel selfie cameras on both the cover and main displays. The addition of the 200-megapixel camera is a first for foldables. In the past, many consumers have criticised foldable devices for their lackluster camera systems, so this is Samsung's way of bringing the Z Fold series on par with its mainline S-series flagships in terms of camera performance. I liked the Z Fold 7's camera system. The main camera captures high-quality photos with excellent dynamic range, lighting, contrast, depth, and rich, natural colours on par with Samsung's own Galaxy S25 Ultra. It also performs better in low-light conditions, producing sharper and more detailed images indoors and in other dim environments. The video recording capabilities have also improved substantially, narrowing the gap between Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple's top-end Pro iPhones. There are also a couple of AI features to try as well centered around the camera like Generative Edit and Audio Eraser. A must try is the selfie camera on the Z Fold 7 which now has a wider 100-degree field of view, perfect for group shots. On the Z Fold 7, Samsung gave up on the controversial under-display inner selfie camera and instead placed a 10-megapixel sensor behind a small hole-punch cutout, just like any other Android smartphone. However, I didn't like that Samsung removed S Pen support from the Z Fold 7. Including it would have made the device a true productivity haven and more useful. In my opinion, scaling back S Pen support on the Z Fold 7 is a controversial move. To understand the Galaxy Z Fold 7, one must give up the general impressions they have about foldables. You need to look at the Z Fold 7 from a new perspective, and a device like this deserves that. Of course, the Z Fold isn't perfect (and no smartphone is), and its price of Rs 174,999 (around $2000 in the US) makes it an ultra high-end smartphone. It's still not a mass-market device, and I don't think Samsung is marketing it that way either. After reviewing the Z Fold 7, I was reminded me of the meeting with the real estate agents and the Z Fold 6 (if I'm not mistaken). I couldn't ignore the Z Fold 6 in their hands, and maybe those who have bought or are looking to buy a foldable have this psychology in mind: a show-off. That's definitely part of it, no doubt. But as a tech reviewer, I feel foldables are genuinely useful: the form factor the Z Fold 7 offers enables things you simply can't do on a traditional smartphone. This is something I have highlighted before and continue to highlight with the Z Fold 7. Not everyone wants a book-style foldable, but I guess more functions and features naturally mean higher cost. That should come as no surprise. It probably won't be for most people (and that's okay!), but I do want to point out that a lot of that cost is likely tied to aspiration value. The Z Fold 7 is simply a beast – and the pinnacle in smartphone form factor.

Beat You: This Brand Has Unveiled Its First Tri-Foldable Concept Device Before Samsung
Last Updated: Tecno has unveiled its concept tri-foldable device and did that before Samsung showcases its own product Tecno is the new name entering the tri-foldable segment and it has beaten Samsung by unveiling its Fold concept earlier this week. We're finally seeing foldable phones become more pocketable, at least in their dimensions, and brands are already moving to other form factors with tri-foldable becoming the latest pick of the bunch. The new device is part of Tecno's Phantom Fold series and it will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next year. Tecno says its tri-foldable device has been divided into three sections like the other brands and has a folding design in G-shape. The company has made the inner screen foldable inwards in two phases, which is claimed to protect the panel from scratches. The secondary cover screen is the default size for a regular smartphone. It has adopted a dual-hinge mechanism so that the tri-folding process does not take a hit in a few years. The company has also gone with a self-locking system which ensures there are no gaps when you fold the tri-foldable device. Talking about the screens, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold carries a 9.4-inch display when all the layers are open. It has a dual camera system on the hinge which brings a unique way to click photos. The company says it has a thickness of 11.49mm when folded and 3.49mm when unfolded, which makes it the thinnest tri-foldable device to be publicly showcased. We expect the Phantom Ultimate G Fold to be powered by a high-end chipset but intrigued to see how it fits a battery unit, and how big it might be. Tecno has made a habit of launching some unique products. It had recently unveiled a sleek phone mirroring the Galaxy S25 Edge and the rumored iPhone 17 Air model. The Tecno device manages to pack a 5,000mAh battery which is a lot bigger than what Samsung has managed and Apple could bring later this year. And we also hope to see Samsung's own tri-fold device launch before the end of 2025, as reports have suggested. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 16:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

I put the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy Z Fold 6 through a 10-round camera face-off — here's the winner
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has come to replace the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and design-wise, the difference is obvious. But what about the cameras? The new Fold 7 ups the main camera from 50MP to 200MP, and the inner camera gets a boost from 4MP to 10MP. Plus, Samsung says that the Fold has an improved ProVisual engine for better low-light performance. To see how much better (or not) Samsung's new foldable is at taking photos, I put the Z Fold 7 vs Fold 6 through a 10-round camera face-off. If you're considering an upgrade or want to know which model could be the better buy for you, this is a comparison you won't want to miss. Our first round features this main camera shot looking across a rugby field. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 uses a 200MP main camera while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 uses a 50MP one, but both take 12MP shots by default, like this example. The shot from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a less intensely blue sky, but has more saturated colors elsewhere. It's vice versa with the Z Fold 6, which can be interpreted as a good or bad thing depending on what you want the focus of the photo to be. Overlooking the Regent Canal, these two phones give us a good idea of their color treatment for their photos. While both photos look good, we can see when looking at the bricks of the surrounding buildings or the painted sides and roofs of the narrowboats, that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a cooler overall tone, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is slightly warmer. This moody shot of a brightly painted canal boat near Paddington station shows how the two phones display the balance of light and shadow. There is more dramatic lighting in Z Fold 7 shot, with larger shadowed areas beneath the boat, for example. Meanwhile, the clouds are darker in the Z Fold 6 image, while the shadows are lighter, showing a slightly different HDR interpretation. We switch now to a different camera for a photo of this church. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 brings out the blue in the sky again, and also the golden yellow tones in the brickwork of the church, with starker shadows too. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's less intense light shows the detail of the brickwork much better, and handles the glaring late-afternoon light more deftly. I took these images of a sign for Church Street Market on Edgware Road with both foldables' 3x telephoto cameras. While there's no difference in detail quality, it's another piece of clear evidence of these two phones' different color sensitivities. The red part of the sign is stronger on the Z Fold 7, while it's the blue part on the Z Fold 6. The outer selfie camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is near-enough indistinguishable from the inside camera, as we'll see in a moment. So it's the comparison with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that really matters here. The Z Fold 6 has produced a decent photo, but there's some excessive sharpening around my hair, and flatter lighting. It does have an arguably nicer color overall though, with the red sensitivity of the Z Fold 7 making me look unfortunately pink. Samsung has been using under-display cameras for its Z Fold phones' inner selfie shooters for years, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 changes this to a punch-hole camera while upping the resolution from 4MP to 10MP. This should make the inner camera good for taking actual photos rather than just a functional video call method with the phone open. As we can see here, the Z Fold 6's camera makes the shot quite fuzzy, but with a more uniform brightness level. The Z Fold 7's shot is perfectly clear, even if the lighting and colors of the shot aren't as appealing to my eye. It's worth noting that portrait mode works on both of the Galaxy Z Fold 7's selfie cameras. It only works on the external front camera on the Z Fold 6, so this comparison uses the outer cameras of both phones. Looking at selfies I ended up with, both have good blur with intelligently-applied blurring. The over sharpening of the Z Fold 6 is back, as is the redder coloration of the Z Fold 7. In low light, I aimed the two phones at a row of figurines on a shelf. It's clear that the Galaxy Z Fold 7's image is brighter, but also a little yellower. The darker Z Fold 6 shot does bring out some extra shading detail in the two white plushies, but that does not offset the overall better lighting in the newer foldable's image. While both of our contestants have functionally the same ultrawide camera, the Z Fold 7's version comes with autofocus, which opens up proper macro photography like you get on Samsung's other flagship phones. As this comparison shows, you can get far closer while staying in focus with the Z Fold 7. The Z Fold 6's image is decent, and arguably has better colors, but getting any closer makes the image too blurry to be useable. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is unsurprisingly the better camera phone according to this series of comparisons. A year is a long time in smartphone development, after all. But the ways in which it differs from and improves upon the Galaxy Z Fold 6 are interesting. The ultrawide camera is the most obviously upgraded rear camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, despite the fact the 200MP main camera is the most noteworthy spec bump over the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's new inner display selfie camera is dramatically improved, too, although the jury's out on whether adding a punch-hole cutout was worth it or not. Our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review is still in progress, and we'll be comparing its camera capabilities against more phones than just the Galaxy Z Fold 6. But it's clear to see the Z Fold 7 is a notable camera upgrade over the Z Fold 6. Let us know in the comments what you think of the Z Fold's 7 cameras and if you think the $2,000 price is worth it.

Leaked hands-on preview says Galaxy Z Flip 7 finally eliminates the display crease
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 on Wednesday, but we think we already know everything about the two upcoming foldable phones. The Fold 7 and Flip 7 have shown up in plenty of leaks over the past few months, including a few exciting last-minute ones. We know both handsets will be thinner than all their predecessors, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 slimming down to an 8.9 mm profile. We already saw real-life photos of a Fold 7 unit a few days ago, and they seem to confirm those dimension-related claims. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Even more interesting is a hands-on video showing a Galaxy Z Flip 7 unit that highlights two exciting features coming to Samsung's next-gen clamshell phone. First, the cover display extends from corner to corner and edge to edge, incorporating the two-lens camera. Second, the hands-on video suggests Samsung may have finally fixed the one design issue we've had with all its foldables since the original Fold. There's no crease on the Flip 7 unit you're about to see. That's good news for the Fold 7, and even more so for the foldable iPhone Apple plans to release next year. The Fold 6 and Flip 6 came with visible creases The first thing I did during my Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 hands-on experience last year was check whether Samsung had managed to eliminate the crease that appears in the middle of the screen, right over the hinge mechanism. Unfortunately, both the Fold 6 and Flip 6 had visible creases. You could see the crease whether the screen was on or off. You could also feel the crease while using the handset, a problem that affects the Flip more than the Fold. That's because the Flip's crease is horizontal, while the Fold's is vertical. You'll feel it when scrolling on the Flip, but not as much on the Fold. Still, the crease has been an annoying visual compromise we've had to accept with foldable phones for years. Late last year, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold SE in Korea and China. The upcoming Fold 7 is largely based on that model, and the Fold SE nearly eliminated the crease. I speculated at the time that the Fold 7 would do the same, but the hands-on leak we got last week didn't confirm it. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on video Romanian site got its hands on what appears to be a commercial version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, retail box included. They posted a video on social media that quickly made the rounds. The hands-on clip gives us a short demo of the thinner Flip 7. We get to see every design detail, from the larger cover screen to the crease-less display. I had to rewind and rewatch the video a few times looking for the crease, and it just isn't there. I said in my review last year that the Flip 6 felt like a real flagship. After years of compromises, Samsung finally gave fans a high-end Flip experience. But the crease was still there. Even if you get used to it, you can't ignore it. The early Flip 7 hands-on experience in the clip above tells me the Flip 7 should feel even more like a premium phone than its predecessor. Why is this important for the foldable iPhone? Apple is reportedly releasing a foldable iPhone next year. The crease has been a major concern for Apple. Several reports have said the company spared no expense in developing a hinge mechanism and a foldable iPhone display that prevents a visible crease from forming in the middle. If Samsung reaches that milestone a year before Apple, it gives the Korean company bragging rights. It can mass-produce crease-free foldable displays for commercial products at least a year ahead of Apple. Even more importantly, Samsung can supply foldable displays to Apple that meet its design standards. Reports covering Apple's plans also said the foldable iPhone will drive growth for Samsung Display, the Samsung subsidiary that produces the high-end foldable OLED panels used in phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Samsung Display is also one of the main suppliers of screens for non-foldable iPhones. It's been making OLED screens for Apple since the iPhone X introduced Apple's first all-screen design.
