Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Review

Previous folding phones have left me feeling there’s been too much of a compromise, but that’s all changed now with the Z Fold7, offering a great camera setup and an ultra slim folding body.

With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung finally delivers a foldable that feels less like a tech experiment and more like a serious everyday device. It’s slimmer, lighter and packed with improvements that make it more practical without losing the wow factor.Sure, the battery life and charging tech haven’t evolved much, and the lack of stylus support may irk long-time Fold fans. But everything else—from the display to performance to the camera system—feels top-notch.At over ₹1,00,000, it’s far from cheap. But if you value the flexibility and futuristic appeal of a foldable phone, the Z Fold 7 finally makes the case for one without compromise.

Slimmer than ever, and with a superior camera setup; the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a monumental year-on-year upgrade. Samsung has finally given foldable fans (almost) everything they’ve been asking for.

It’s not perfect, and may struggle against incoming competition, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is easily Samsung’s best foldable yet

Bottom line: Samsung has the best and the thinnest foldable phone on the market right now. The phenomenal response that the company has received from the market shows that customers recognize the value proposition and are willing to spend their money on Samsung's most expensive phone.

You can nit-pick and find things to dock points for. Perhaps you dislike not having S Pen support, or you feel that the cameras aren't flagship enough. The downgrade in speaker quality is also a let-down. But those points in isolation aren't enough to ruin the whole package.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a strikingly beautiful phone with durable build quality and flagship specifications. It has one of the best software experiences on an Android phone. Its form factor advantages are numerous. There are no gimmicks or useless tricks.

This is as big of an upgrade for anyone coming from previous Galaxy Z Fold models as it is for someone who's never owned a foldable phone. The Fold 7 will awe them both equally.

The Z Fold7 finally feels like Samsung has nailed the folding formula thanks to a much thinner design than ever and a flagship-worthy 200MP main camera. It would be nice to have more optical zoom though, and if the price could come down a bit.

For those small improvements, you’ll have to pay the full price. Samsung once again adds a hundred euros to the base price this year. It now breaks the symbolic barrier of 2,000 euros, and we find that a bit too much. So the Fold 7 will once again remain a show model for Samsung. Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 – from 2,099 euros incl. VAT – seven years of security updates – two-year warranty

The best Fold so far? Of course it is. That's no surprise, nor are there many others to be had. There's no revolutionary jump to speak of, just refinements of a previously functional ideal. Whether you'll stick a Galaxy Fold 7 in your cart depends on a few factors -- when last you bought one (if ever), whether your bank account can stand it (if ever), and whether you're prepared to buy a case for it (if ever). The hardware and software on offer will speak for itself.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 delivers on the dream of a book-style foldable that's feels no different from a bar phone when closed, but it's not cheap.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 finally delivers the ultra-slim, lightweight foldable we've been waiting for, boasting significant design and camera upgrades that put it at the top of its class. While battery life and charging speeds could be better, its impressive screens, top-tier performance and refined software make it the best Galaxy Z Fold to date, and quite possibly one of the best foldables full stop.
