Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: The Thinnest Foldable Yet

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 represents a quantum leap in foldable design. At just 9.9mm when folded—thinner than many regular smartphones—Samsung has finally delivered on the promise of a foldable that doesn't feel like a compromise.

The crease is nearly invisible. Samsung's new 'Flex Hinge 2.0' technology creates a fold radius so tight that you have to look for the crease to find it. In daily use, you simply don't notice it anymore.

The 8.0-inch main display is a beauty. Samsung has increased the size while reducing the bezels, creating a more immersive experience. The new 'Infinity Fold' display reaches 3,200 nits peak brightness with improved viewing angles.

The cover screen has been upgraded to 6.5 inches with a more usable 21:9 aspect ratio. It finally feels like a complete smartphone experience when folded, not just a preview screen.

Galaxy AI 2.0 shines on the large display. The new Multi-Window AI automatically arranges your apps based on context—open your email and it suggests relevant documents alongside. The AI-powered Photo Unfold feature can extend photos beyond their original frame using generative AI.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite ensures smooth performance across all tasks. Multitasking with three apps simultaneously feels natural, and gaming performance matches non-folding flagships.

Cameras have finally reached flagship parity. The 50MP main sensor with OIS delivers excellent photos in all conditions. The 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP 3x telephoto complete a versatile system.

At 226g, it's lighter than the Fold 6, despite the larger screens. Battery life has improved to 4,600mAh, lasting through a full day. 45W charging is now supported.

Priced at $1,899, it's still expensive, but this is the first foldable that truly feels like the future has arrived.
