I put the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra through a 7-round face-off — here's the winner
The No. 1 question many people have when they look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is whether it's good enough to beat the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In my Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, I really loved the super thin and lightweight design and huge 8-inch display, plus the upgraded 200MP main camera. In fact, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is even lighter than the S25 Ultra. But as you'll see in my Galaxy S25 Ultra review, this big-screen phone has some advantages, including a much cheaper starting price, a bigger battery and S Pen support. So which Samsung flagship is right for you? I put the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra side by side to help you pick the best phone for you. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Galaxy S25 Ultra Price From $1,999 / £1,799 / AU$2,899 From $1,299/ £1,249 / AU$2,149 Main display 8 inches AMOLED (2184 x 1968, 1-120Hz) 6.9 inches (3120 x 1440, 1-120Hz) Cover display 6.5 inches AMOLED (2520 x 1080, 1-120Hz) N/A Chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite Snapdragon 8 Elite RAM 12GB (16GB for 1TB) 12GB Storage 256GB/512GB/1TB 256GB/512GB/1TB Rear cameras 200MP wide (f/1.7), 12MP ultra-wide (f/2.2), 10MP telephoto (f/2.4, 3x optical, 30x space zoom) 200MP wide (f/1.7), 50MP ultra-wide (f/1.9), 50MP telephoto (5x optical, f/3.4), 10MP telephoto (f/2.4, 3x zoom, 100x space zoom) Front camera 10MP (f/2.2) 12MP (f/2.2) Main display camera 10MP (f/2.2) N/A Charging 25W 45W Battery 4,400 mAh 5,000 mAh Dimensions 158.4 x 72.8 x 8.9 mm (6.24 x 2.87 x 0.35 inches) folded, 143.2 x 158.4 x 4.2 mm (5.64 x 6.24 x 0.17 inches) unfolded 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm Weight 215 grams (7.5 ounces) 218 grams (7.,7 ounces) IP Rating IP48 (water) IP68 (water, dust) S Pen support No Yes Colors Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet-black, Mint Titanium Silverblue, Black, Whitesilver, Gray This one is an easy round for the S25 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at $1,299/ £1,249 / AU$2,149 for 256GB of storage, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is super premium at $1,999 / £1,799 / AU$2,899 for 256GB. Buy your Galaxy S25 Ultra via Best Buy and you'll get it for just $1,024. That's a whopping $275 off for a phone with a bright and colorful 6.9-inch display, powerful camera system with 100x Space Zoom and built-in S Pen. So the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a good $700 less than the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Of course, there are plenty of Galaxy Z Fold 7 deals, and the same goes for S25 Ultra deals, so you won't have to pay full price. Galaxy Z Fold 7: up to $1,000 off w/ trade-in @ SamsungSamsung is knocking up to $1,000 off its Galaxy Z Fold 7 when you trade-in an older phone. 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. In 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. But it's worth noting that you could get the 1TB version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,659, which is still $340 less than the entry-level Z Fold 7. Winner: Galaxy S25 Ultra The funny thing about going back to using the Galaxy S25 Ultra after using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is how chunky it feels. I'm not saying it's a brick, but the Z Fold 7 looks and feels more like the future. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 158.4 x 72.8 x 8.9 mm when folded and 143.2 x 158.4 x 4.2 mm when unfolded. Compare that to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is 162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm. So unfolded the Fold 7 is thinner than the S25 Ultra, and it's only a smidge thicker when it's closed up. The Z Fold 7 is somehow lighter than the S25 Ultra, weighing 215 grams (7.5 ounces) vs 218 (7.7 ounces) for the S25 Ultra. And while that might seem light a big difference, I notice it when putting both of these phones in my pockets. In terms of colors, the S25 Ultra options are somewhat subdued with Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Whitesilver, Titanium Gray and Titanium Black. The Z Fold 7 has a bolder Blue Shadow option along with the more mundane Silver Shadow and Jet Black. And there's a exclusive color in Mint. The S25 Ultra pulls ahead in durability, though. It's IP68 rated for water and dust resistance. The Z Fold 7 is rated only IP48 for water resistance, so I would not bring this flagship to the beach. It's definitely worth noting that only the S25 Ultra has a built-in S Pen. The Z Fold 7 dropped support for the accessory for the sake of thinness, and I think it's a worthy trade-off. But others do not agree! Winner: Galaxy Z Fold 7 The Galaxy Z Fold 7 enters this round with a built-in advantage in that it packs dual displays. There's a 6.5-inch OLED panel up front and a whopping 8-inch screen on the inside. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 6.9-inch screen, which is by no means small. But here's where you'll really notice the difference. Hint: it's not when watching videos. Because of the Z Fold 7's aspect ratio, watching movies gives you about the same size window on the S25 Ultra. You can zoom in on the former, but you'll lose some detail on either side of the frame. Brightness (Nits, HDR) Color (DCI-P3) Accuracy (Delta-E) Galaxy Z Fold 7 2,310 96%/105.2% (Natural/Vivid) 0.22/0.28 (Natural/Vivid) Galaxy S25 Ultra 1,860 90.8%/107.3% (Natural/Vivid) 0.24/0.25 (Natural/Vivid) However, the Z Fold 7's extra real estate definitely comes in handy for apps like Google Sheets. I can see a lot more rows and columns at once. And in apps like Chrome, I can easily switch between tabs right up top. Plus, in apps like Gmail you get a handy dual-pane view so you can see your messages on the left and their content on the right. Games are particularly more immersive on the Z Fold 7, especially when playing console-like titles with top-notch graphics like Wuthering Waves. In our labs, the Galaxy Z Fold 7's main display delivered higher brightness scores, but the color reproduction and accuracy were quite similar between the two phones. So what about the crease on the Fold 7? Samsung has worked pretty hard to minimize it, to the point where it's barely noticeable. So it's not a reason to skip this phone at all. More noticeable is the punch hole camera on the Z Fold 7's interior display. It's no longer hidden like the under display camera on the Z Fold 6. But the pay-off is a higher resolution one (10MP vs 4MP). Winner: Galaxy Z Fold 7 The Galaxy Z Fold 7 steps up to Ultra-level status with its 200MP main wide camera, matching the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the S25 Ultra still has a couple of advantages. For one, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has two zoom lenses with a 50MP 5x telephoto and 10MP 3x lens, and it has a max digital zoom of 100x. The Z Fold 7 maxes out at 30x digital zoom with its 10MP 3x telephoto lens. The S25 Ultra also benefits from a sharper 50MP ultra-wide shooter, compared to 12MP for the Z Fold 7, though at least the latter now has autofocus and can capture macro shots. So how about the image quality? In this first Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra comparison, I slightly prefer the Z Fold 7's shot as the water up top looks sharper. But both cameras do an excellent job bringing out the details in the fountain while keeping the flowers in focus. I'm kind of torn by this ultra-wide shot of Bryant Park. The buildings have more detail in the Z Fold 7 photo, but the S25 Ultra delivers a brighter pic overall and the grass in particular looks more vibrant. I give the edge to the Galaxy S25 Ultra in this portrait. It's a brighter overall image, and I pop more off of the background. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 image if a bit too dim and it's not something I'd be keen to share. To test the zoom of these camera phones I pointed them at a building across the street at 30x zoom, and it's not even close. The figure on the Z Fold 7 is downright blurry, while the S25 Ultra provides more detail around the head and back and shoulder muscles. It's not close. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 Ultra deliver an exceptional macro shot of this Rose of Sharon flower. You can make out even fine particles of pollen around the stamen. But thanks to the Ultra's sharper 50MP ultra-wide lens, you can make out even more detail in the petals. In low light the Galaxy Z Fold 7 shines as evidenced by this pic of a checkered lamp in near darkness. The images from both phones are almost equally bright, but the S25 Ultra does a better job rendering the light from the faux candle. Because the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 Ultra have the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and 12GB of RAM, it's not a surprise that the turned in very similar results on our lab tests. Geekbench Adobe Premiere Rush 3DMark Solar Bay Unlimited Galaxy Z Fold 7 3,052 / 9,735 52 seconds 41.2 fps / 10,812 Galaxy S25 Ultra 3,031 / 9,829 52 seconds 42.4 fps / 11,140 On Geekbench, which measures overall performance, the Fold 7 turned in scores on the single- and multi-core portion of the test that are nearly identical to the S25 Ultra. We saw the same thing on our video editing test using Adobe Premiere Rush, with both phones needing 52 seconds to transcode a 4K video to 1080p. The S25 Ultra had a slightly higher graphics score on 3DMark, but not enough to be significant. Where the Z Fold 7 pulls ahead is multitasking, as you can run three apps on screen at once. The S25 Ultra can run only two apps at once via its split screen view. Winner: Draw Here comes the bad news. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's battery life is way behind the S25 Ultra based on our testing. Anecdotally, I could get through a full work day with the Fold 7 and still have 40% juice left, but the S25 Ultra has a lot more endurance due to the size of it's battery and the fact that it has a smaller screen to power. Battery size (mAh) Battery life (hrs:mins) Galaxy Z Fold 7 4,400 mAh 10:55 Galaxy S25 Ultra 5,000 mAh 17:14 On the Tom's Guide Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness, the Galaxy Z Fold 7's 4,400 mAh battery lasted 10 hours and 55 minutes on T-Mobile's 5G networks. The Galaxy S25 Ultra's beefier 5,000 mAh battery lasted for a much longer 17 hours and 14 minutes, landing it a spot on our best phone battery life list. The charging picture doesn't get much better. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a charging speed of 25W, allowing it to get to 54% charge in 30 minutes. The S25 Ultra reached 71% in the same time span. Winner: Galaxy S25 Ultra As you might expect, AI is front and center on both of these phones, but the Z Fold 7 goes a bit further than the S25 Ultra. For example, with Samsung's One UI 8 software, you can load Gemini in a floating window on the Z Fold 7's bigger display without covering up much other content. The S25 Ultra simply doesn't have that kind of real estate. But you can certainly do a lot with Gemini Live on both of these phones. Just long press the side key and you can enjoy multi-modal AI advice on the fly. You can speak to Gemini, show it your live camera view or even share your screen and ask questions in real time. You can also perform cross-app actions with AI on these two flagships. So, for example, you can ask about nearby steakhouses, send them to a friend via text and create a calendar reminder for your night out with one command. The Z Fold 7 is a bit more versatile, though. You can see the before and after of what happens when you remove people or objects from an image with Photo Assist. And you can drag and drop AI images you generate from one window into another. For now only the Galaxy Z Fold 7 runs the latest Android 16, which delivers new features like live updates for ride-share and food delivery apps. And you get grouped notifications from a single app. But the S25 Ultra should be getting this update soon. Speaking of updates, both the Z Fold 7 and S25 Ultra get 7 years of OS and security updates. This might sound surprising but I actually like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 more than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, at least for my needs. You get a compact phone when you want it and a big-screen tablet in one device — without the usual compromise of carrying around a thick and heavy device. The Z Fold 7 is a marvel of engineering, and it's backed by smart software that's is well suited to the form factor. I really like, for example, that I can run three apps at once, look at spreadsheets without going blind and get side-by-side comparisons of before and after edits on my photos. However, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the more practical choice. It not only costs hundreds of dollars less, it delivers much longer battery life and an S Pen for those who want it. And while the Z Fold 7 and S25 Ultra both share a 200MP main camera, the S25 Ultra pulls ahead with its more robust zoom and sharper ultra-wide shooter. So I personally prefer the Z Fold 7 as a multitasker who likes the idea of leaving my laptop behind more often. But if you prefer a more traditional phone design, the S25 Ultra is a more well-rounded flagship. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Even if other S26 models vary, the Galaxy S26 Ultra may stick with this chipset
The Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena Excited about the Galaxy S26? Are you already saving money to get that Samsung goodness in about six months (Sammy is expected to drop a new batch of flagship phones at the very beginning of 2026)? I suspect many of you definitely are, and want to know all there is about the Galaxy S26 lineup: and among the most important questions one can ask is about chipsets: When it comes to chipsets, sometimes Samsung goes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon silicon for all of its models in a given device family. Like it did with the Galaxy S25 lineup. Earlier, Samsung sometimes offered an Exynos chipset for different markets across the world – so, people got different phones depending on where they live. Different hardware for different markets is something I'm not thrilled about at all, but I'm not calling the shots over at Samsung headquarters. Those who are after the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be glad to know that – not that we expected it to be the other way – the maxed-out flagship will most likely utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. This is not a prediction, but a credible rumor, and it comes straight out of the S26 Ultra 's first firmware file. The file includes a reference to a chipset labeled "PMK8850". This identifier closely follows the naming convention of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite (model number 8750), which powers the Galaxy S25 Ultra . Based on this pattern, PMK8850 is likely the internal model number for Qualcomm's next high-end mobile processor – probably named the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is expected to feature a redesigned Oryon CPU architecture. Reports indicate the chip could reach clock speeds up to 4.6GHz in its standard form, and even higher – around 4.74GHz – in a special, customized "for Galaxy" version. This latter version may be the one referenced in the performance projections show the new chip offering up to 25% better overall speed and significant improvements in graphics performance. Qualcomm is expected to unveil the chip officially in September, so we'll definitely keep you posted on for the Galaxy S26 Ultra itself, early leaks hint at a large 6.9-inch OLED screen with enhancements in brightness and color accuracy. The camera system may include a 200MP main sensor with a wider aperture for improved low-light performance, and a new 50MP periscope lens offering 5x optical zoom. Memory options could include 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM, with a 5,000mAh battery, which I can't say thrills me. Not at all, now that we're expecting mid-range phones with 10,000 mAh capacity batteries in the very near future.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is controversial in this key way, but let me tell you why that's a good thing
Most of us like islands, right? Some folks immediately start to paint long, white-sanded beaches with picturesque dunes and palm trees, while others get that inner buzz of being on a small piece of land, surrounded by I like islands that have a nice, big X on their maps. With a dotted line to the X, where the treasure lies.I also like camera that's the protruded part of a phone's rear panel, surrounding and housing the camera(s). As a rule of thumb, the bigger the island, the higher the chances there's a real treasure to be found. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, for example, might grow a camera island on its back, per the latest leaks. Very hush-hush stuff. Although it seems pretty logical, once one comes to think of it. The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena It's important to note that the camera bump that's presented by PhoneArt (a.k.a. Ice Universe, as some of you might know them), as seen here: Image source – X …might grow because of a thinner Galaxy S26 Ultra chassis. So far, nobody knows exactly how thin the phone will be, but it's probably going to be 7.x mm thick. Naturally, a thinner body would make the camera setup pop up even further out of the rear panel. Maybe one day phone manufacturers will be able to fit it all in a sleek, flat body, but for now, we have to settle for raised camera islands. And that's not a problem at all for me. I tend to obsess about what a phone can do, not the way it is on the outside. Yeah, sure, I like some models (like the boxy, overly aggressive-looking Galaxy S24 Ultra) more than others, but if I had to choose between a Porsche-like phone with a small battery and a pathetic camera and the ugliest phone ever (but with great battery and camera), I'd definitely go for the hideous massive camera islands on phones look like they're about to launch into orbit – but they're actually doing real work. Bigger sensors need more room, and more lenses mean sharper shots, better zoom, and night photos that don't look like security cam footage from 2002. It's less about style and more about cramming a DSLR into your skinny jeans. Wobbly on the table, sure – but your photos won't be. I can live with that. The Galaxy S25 Edge and its camera bump. | Image by PhoneArena The Galaxy S26 Ultra 's alleged camera island design reminds me very much of the way these two brand-new Sammy phones are: Galaxy Z Fold 7 Galaxy S25 Edge The common theme is that both of these (despite one being a foldable) are super thin and the camera surroundings are protruding quite a bit: The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its camera bump. | Image by PhoneArena It's only logical that the (allegedly thinner) Galaxy S26 Ultra will follow in suit. The $64,000 question is: So far, nothing is pointing at such a direction. As Sammy fans very well know, the Galaxy S24 Ultra dropped its predecessor's 10x zoom for a 5x lens. Most people weren't out there spying on mountaintops anyway, and the 5x hits the sweet spot for everyday zoom. Plus, with higher-res sensors doing the heavy lifting, you still get crisp detail without carrying a phone that feels like binoculars. The Vivo X200 Ultra has a camera bump with the size of Utah. | Image by PhoneArena Camera islands can get annoyingly large to the point where they're a bit impractical. Like my colleague Vic found out first hand: Vivo X200 Ultra Review: Impractical design, but an incredible camera This (otherwise excellent) phone feels awkward to hold due to its top-heavy design, which throws off the balance and makes it easier to fumble. While it's only slightly heavier than the Vivo X200 Pro at around 230 grams (comparable to other large phones) it's the uneven weight distribution that stands out more than the overall heft. I doubt that Samsung will slap a humongous camera island on the Galaxy S26 Ultra , but cons of large camera islands had to be highlighted. The more you know. The Galaxy S25 Ultra. | Image by PhoneArena I've praised camera islands so much that one would think nothing else is needed for capturing great shots. Nothing can be further from the truth. You may have the ultimate machine in your arsenal, you may have a camera island as big as Greenland on the back of your phone and still Because the hardware part is just one part of the equation here. Knowing what makes a photo great (the correct light for your needs, the angle, the best moment to press the shutter, etc.). If you keep ignoring the basic rules – or worse, if you abide by them all the time, without trying to break them – you'll end up in a limbo so deep that even the most expensive gear won't pull you out of. Like this dude's post I saw in a popular forum for dedicated cameras the other day: he was baffled as to why his brand-new gear (that cost him several thousand dollars) produced "lousy" shots. I know why: because the shots were taken in the worst lighting conditions, without any idea for composition or "story", no juxtaposition, no tone, no mood: just some random pics of flowers, people, buildings, etc. I often advise those who whine about not having a good enough camera to check out the iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) from, say, 2018. If you keep telling yourself that your 2025 or 2024 phone "is not good enough", check out what some are able to do with iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 series. Great stuff.I really hope Samsung doesn't read that last part I just wrote, though. They might decide not to upgrade the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera setup at all. So far, there are some positive camera-related rumors surrounding the future flagship. Let's not jinx it.

Samsung Galaxy phone gets even cheaper as it falls below £250
The Samsung Galaxy model has three main camera sensors, AI-powered zoom, a big battery and plenty of storage Samsung is renowned for some of the industry's high-performance phones on the market, look at the Galaxy S25 Ultra or its newest Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. These come with a high cost, often reaching as much as £1,000 each, leaving some shoppers scouring for cheaper alternatives. Fortunately, Samsung has an offering for those of us who are more budget-conscious. The Galaxy A26, which hit the market in March 2025, was launched at a price of £299. And now Amazon is offering an ever cheaper price. In a new sale, the Prime retailer has slashed £50 off the price for a limited period. This means that customers can now bag a perfectly capable brand new Samsung Galaxy phone for £249, a price which is matched at the Samsung store too. Despite being at the budget end of the range, it still retains many features from Samsung's pricier models. For starters, it boasts three main camera sensors, including an ultra-wide, normal wide, and macro camera. While it doesn't have a telephoto zoom, it can use AI to zoom in up to 10x. Additionally, it offers a decent amount of storage for all photographic memories. With 256GB, it provides double the base storage capacity of an iPhone 16. Add to this six years of guaranteed software updates, and buyers can be confident that this Samsung device will serve them well for a considerable time. While it may not have as powerful a processor as the top-end Galaxy S25 models, it strikes a great balance for those looking to save a bit of money. Amazon is currently offering some top-notch budget smartphones, including the quirky Nothing Phone (3A), which sports a unique design on the back and is up for grabs at just £289. For those looking to spend even less, the HONOR X6c could be an option, discounted to £89.99 from its usual price of £129.99. It boasts a 120Hz display and a hefty 5300mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy A26 has a 4.3-star rating on Amazon. One satisfied customer commented: "Great phone at a good price, good looking and nice clear screen." Another happy buyer remarked: "Surprisingly good for the price. It's a fair sized phone with a good camera and screen considering how cheap it is. Highly recommend." Yet another added: "I have used it for several days but I am very happy with the performance. Battery lasts all day with heavy usage, light weight." Some users, however, did report disappointing battery life despite its large capacity. As one person said: "Good phone - nothing out of the ordinary though. Battery runs out quickly."
