Best phone I've ever owned. fast, best cameras (12mp, 50mp and the 200mp). Storage space of 1TB is a necessity for me. Battery life is exceptional, also.

Z fold 7 far exceeds my expectations and very light in design and the camera does wonders. All photos taken so far are amazing. Really appreciate this product.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 feels like a truly significant leap forward for foldable phones. After several iterations of refinement, Samsung has finally delivered a device that feels less like a niche gadget and more like a genuinely practical and compelling flagship smartphone.
Design and Displays: The Game-Changers
The most striking improvement is the design. The Z Fold 7 is remarkably thinner and lighter than its predecessors, making it feel much more like a regular phone in your pocket when folded. The wider front screen is a massive upgrade, finally providing a comfortable and usable aspect ratio for everyday tasks like texting and browsing without needing to open the device. When you do unfold it, you're greeted with an absolutely stunning 8-inch internal display—a fantastic canvas for multitasking, watching videos, and gaming. While a slight crease is still present, the overall experience of the screens is top-tier, with vibrant colors and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Performance and AI: Powerful and Smart
Powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset and up to 16GB of RAM, the Z Fold 7 delivers blazing-fast performance. Apps launch instantly, and the phone handles intensive multitasking with ease, allowing you to run multiple apps side-by-side without any noticeable slowdown. A key new feature is the deeper integration of Galaxy AI, which feels intuitive and genuinely useful, from real-time translation to advanced photo editing.
Cameras: A Big Step Up
Samsung has made a significant investment in the camera system, and it shows. The Z Fold 7 features a powerful 200MP main camera, a clear improvement that delivers sharp, detailed, and vibrant photos. While the optical zoom is limited to 3x, the overall camera experience is on par with what you'd expect from a premium flagship. It's a noticeable step forward from previous generations.
The Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a landmark device that finally feels like the "holy grail" of foldable phones. Its a huge step forward in design and usability, finally addressing the biggest complaints of previous models. While it's still a luxury product with a high price tag (starting around $1,999) and lacks S-Pen support, the Fold 7's combination of cutting-edge design, powerful performance, and a superb camera system makes it the best folding phone on the market today. If you're willing to pay the premium, this is the first foldable that truly feels worth the investment.

Honestly moving from Fold 4 to Fold 7, this is such a huge technology leap. Phone just feels so thin that you would want thin cases just to give you grip to open the fold. While it being so thin, phone feels sturdy and very powerful. I also don't feel the same heating issue that I had with the 4. I love this phone

First, I hate the AI in Samsung it always flags me as inappropriate. Just like this post! Ugh, I have the iPhone 16 Pro Max but find I don't use it but 25% of the time. The only reason I still use the iPhone is because I'm locked into the ecosystem (iMessage and FaceTime). Plus, Apple's operating system is better, hands down. Samsung is close, but that doesn't work in the business or real world. Now as far as the design, Samsung is light years ahead in design. I don't know what happened to Apple. I would fire the design team and hire people willing to go to the edge of design. I believe Apple will be the next BlackBerry unless they quit playing it safe.

Absolutely perfect for movie watching and note taking with the S pen. Phone fits slim in pockets. The crease with the two screens is near invisible when looking straight towards the phone, however, the hinge is a bit noticeable at angles. Overall, happy with this purchase.
