If something, I’m guessing Samsung’s foremost purpose for skipping a capability improve is that it wished a slim and light-weight kind issue. In spite of everything, the Z Fold 7 is among the many thinnest book-style foldables available on the market, and it’s additionally the lightest one. This design is one thing I praised in my hands-on article, after years of Fold fashions that lagged behind the competitors on this regard.
It additionally stands to purpose that Samsung wasn’t able to embrace silicon-carbon batteries simply but, which allow a lot increased capacities in rival foldables. The HONOR Magic V5 has a 5,820mAh battery, whereas the vivo X Fold 5 has a 6,000mAh battery. Each of those telephones even have aggressive digicam {hardware} and comparatively extensive cowl screens. In saying so, Samsung’s personal charging cycle figures recommend that its telephones might supply higher long-term battery well being.
In any occasion, I’d argue {that a} greater battery is extra necessary for the Fold line than it’s for the Flip sequence. The Flip telephones have a small cowl display that sips power, whereas the Fold gadgets have a smartphone-sized cowl show and a tablet-sized folding display. No less than Samsung didn’t pull a Galaxy S25 Edge and cut back the battery capability within the title of a skinny kind issue.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
Thinnest, lightest Z Fold to this point • Extra sturdy design • 200MP main digicam • Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
Skinny, mild, high-powered, and it folds!
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 provides an 8-inch OLED display, a 200MP digicam, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and a 4,400mAh battery. The Galaxy AI expertise is baked in, providing instruments throughout the digicam, Circle to Search, and rather more. Better of all, Samsung continues to evolve their fold folding hinge meeting, promising diminished visibility of the crease.
