Design & Display
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest and lightest model in the Fold series, measuring just 8.9mm when closed and 4.2mm when unfolded, with a weight of 215g. This reduction in size and weight makes it comparable to traditional smartphones while still offering a tablet-like experience when unfolded.
It features two Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays: a 6.5-inch cover display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and an 8.0-inch main display with a resolution of 2184 × 1968 pixels. The internal screen boasts a peak brightness of 2600 nits, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight.
Performance
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, the Fold 7 delivers top-tier performance. It handles multitasking with ease, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously without lag. The device runs on One UI 8, based on Android 16, which introduces AI enhancements and improved multitasking features.
Camera System
The Fold 7 is equipped with a versatile triple-camera setup: a 200MP wide-angle lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens with macro support, and a 10MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. This array allows for high-quality photography across various scenarios. The device also features dual 10MP front-facing cameras, ensuring clear selfies and video calls.
Battery Life & Charging
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 houses a 4400mAh battery, supporting 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. While the battery life is sufficient for moderate use, some users may find it falls short during intensive tasks. The device also supports reverse wireless charging at 4.5W, allowing it to charge other devices.
Software & AI Features
One UI 8 introduces several AI-driven features, including Gemini Live for real-time multimodal conversations and Circle to Search for enhanced in-game information retrieval. The multitasking capabilities have been improved, with an "AI Results View" that displays AI outputs in split view or floating windows, facilitating seamless transitions between tasks.
Durability & Build Quality
Despite its advancements, the Fold 7 is not without its issues. Some users have reported paint chipping around the power button and USB-C port, even when using official Samsung chargers. This raises concerns about the device's long-term durability.
