Big screen = more productivity
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7, and I’m absolutely impressed—especially with its big screen. The expansive display transforms the way I use my phone. Whether I’m reading, multitasking, or watching videos, the large foldable screen makes everything more immersive and comfortable. It feels like carrying a small tablet in my pocket, yet it folds neatly into a compact phone. The quality of the screen is outstanding—bright, sharp, and smooth. It’s perfect for work, presentations, and even grading papers or reviewing documents on the go. The multitasking features are seamless, letting me open multiple apps side by side without any slowdown. Overall, the Galaxy Fold 7 delivers the best of both worlds: portability and productivity. It’s a premium device that truly showcases how far smartphone innovation has come. I couldn’t be happier with the experience, and the big screen is the main reason—it makes everything I do feel easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

Switched after 10 years with apple.
Switched to Samsung fold after being with iphones for the last 10 years. Everything is different in the best way possible. From the UI, the design, the ability to multitasking, customization and so much more. If anyone is thinking about switching or is just bored of apple I can't recommend this phone enough. Just do it.
