Experience the Galaxy Z Fold7: slim and lightweight design with stable performance.

The adjustments to the design, screen, and hardware make the Galaxy Z Fold7 more suitable for everyday use.

The foldable design is becoming increasingly refined on the Galaxy Z Fold7.

Despite maintaining a familiar design philosophy across generations, this year's Galaxy Z Fold7 clearly demonstrates a genuine leap forward in terms of refinement. No longer a bulky, heavy device, the new version offers a user experience closer than ever to traditional bar-style flagship phones, while still retaining its unique identity in terms of flexible folding and unfolding.

From a practical feel in the hand, the Galaxy Z Fold7 now boasts a remarkable slimness, measuring just 4.2mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. This is Samsung's lightest Fold ever, weighing only 215g, significantly lighter than the Fold6 or earlier generations. Users can easily slip the Fold7 into a vest pocket or trouser pocket without feeling bulky or heavy.

Furthermore, the new hinge of the Fold7 is also a highlight, providing a smoother and more consistent opening and closing motion, eliminating the heavy mechanical feel or the need for excessive force. The hinge connecting the two halves of the device is neat and seamless, minimizing gaps when folded – a previous aesthetic drawback of earlier generations. From a side view, the new design gives the device a noticeably more uniform appearance between the two halves, completely eliminating any feeling of imbalance.

The design of the back panel and the outer screen is very well done.

The tactile feel of the materials also suggests a higher level of premium quality. Samsung continues to improve the Armor Aluminum frame, with a slightly matte surface that resists fingerprints, giving it a sturdy and solid feel in the hand. When opened, the 8-inch screen inside is impressive thanks to its ultra-thin bezels, no longer as thick as in previous generations. The display area is wide, flat, and has minimal creases, providing a user experience close to a tablet, especially when reading news, searching for information, editing documents, or enjoying multimedia entertainment.

Even in bright outdoor light, the main screen maintains good visibility with a maximum brightness of up to 2600 nits, allowing users to easily view content even when using the device in a cafe or on the street.

Real-world experience with the Galaxy Z Fold7 shows that this smartphone is increasingly achieving a balance between the unique characteristics of a foldable phone and the basic requirements for user experience that the average consumer expects.

The 6.5-inch secondary screen continues to play a primary role for everyday tasks such as reading news, browsing the web, and messaging, with clear and easy-to-view display quality under various lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the 8-inch main screen provides ample usable space, suitable for tasks requiring a large display area such as text editing, reading news, and viewing multimedia content. It features thinner bezels than previous generations, high brightness, vibrant colors, and wide viewing angles.

The video display function is compatible with various applications such as YouTube, Netflix, etc.

With basic applications like text browsing, video viewing, and social media apps, the Fold7 handles tasks smoothly without lag or frame drops. Opening multiple windows simultaneously is also responsive. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite OC processor, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage, it achieved a score of nearly 1.9 million points in Antutu benchmark tests. The GPU score alone exceeded 710,000, accurately reflecting its performance when running demanding games at high graphics settings; the device maintains stable frame rates and avoids significant overheating under normal usage conditions.

The Antutu benchmark score is quite high, placing it in the top 20 of this tool.

The camera is a clear improvement over previous Fold generations. Equipped with a 200MP main sensor, the camera system delivers sufficiently good image quality in various lighting conditions. Daytime photos show stable sharpness, adequate dynamic range, and colors that tend to be more neutral compared to previous Samsung devices.

Night shots are improved thanks to a new processing algorithm, retaining detail quite well, maintaining stable control of bright areas, and significantly reducing noise compared to the Fold6. FlexCam still maintains its characteristic advantage of allowing users to position the device at various angles for hands-free shooting or video recording; however, in practice, this feature is most effective in specific situations, rather than becoming a regular usage habit.

Overall assessment

The Galaxy Z Fold7 offers a more complete experience thanks to its slim and lightweight design, ease of use, and stable performance. Its large screen, improved camera, and multitasking capabilities make it suitable for flexible work and entertainment needs. However, the unique screen size and price point mean the Fold7 is not yet a mainstream choice. It's aimed at users who need something different and are willing to sacrifice the experience of a foldable device.
