Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.5/10
Verdict
It is pricey, the battery life is just about okay, and charging speeds are not great. But the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 hides a powerful tablet in the guise of a phone that is quite conventional and usable like a normal phone when folded. Shaving off millimetres and grams, it is a foldable that you can use day in and day out, delivering on most fronts such as performance, productivity, camera, AI, software and ecosystem.
Pros
- Substantially slimmer & lighter
- Smooth performance
- Decent cameras
- AI & ecosystem features
Cons
- Pricey
- Battery life could be better
- Slow charging speed
- Wobbles on a flat surface
The real innovation: Design
+
One of the main highlights of the Galaxy Z Fold7 is its design and construction. While it retains the same design ethos as its predecessors and other book-style foldables, the engineers at Samsung have been able to reduce thickness and weight significantly. At 215 grams, the new foldable is 19 grams lighter than its predecessor, and 3 grams lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And when folded, the Z Fold7 is 8.9mm thick, significantly slimmer than the previous model, which was 12.1mm thick. The S25 Ultra is 8.2mm thick, so overall, the Fold7 is very similar in terms of both weight and thickness. And when you unfold it, the Z Fold7 is a mere 4.2mm thick, with its predecessor measuring 5.6mm. That's amazingly slim, and thanks to the flat edges, remains comfortable to hold.

Displays: one big, one small, both immensely useful
+
The 6.5-inch cover display and the 8-inch main screen are both extremely capable and vibrant, in signature Samsung style. With AMOLED goodness, up to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,600 nits of brightness, these screens do their jobs quite well. The cover screen is content with being the regular-use window into your usual smartphone stuff, while the main screen can be the star of the show, making an appearance when you need a larger screen real estate to watch videos, deal with documents, browse websites etc.

Shoot and smile, or smile and shoot
+
Another area where there's noticeable improvement is the photography. Foldables aren't known to be great shooters, but Samsung went ahead and crammed the S25 Ultra's 200MP primary sensor into the Z Fold7. That's accompanied by a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide. 10MP sensors on the cover display and inner screen handle selfie duties and video calls. While the camera system isn't as versatile or as capable as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, real-world results are excellent and noticeably better than the last generation model. Last year, the Vivo X Fold 3 and Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold eclipsed Samsung's offering in terms of photography, but this time, the Galaxy Z Fold7 can match, and even trump the new Vivo X Fold 5 in many scenarios.

The software story: AI and ecosystem
+
Running the latest Android 16 out of the box, layered up with One UI 8, and promising 7 years of software updates, the software store begins on a great note. Samsung does go overboard with preloaded apps, but other than that, there isn't much to complain,. There's lots to love though, with extensive customisation options, useful Samsung signature features (like Secure Folder, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Pass, DeX etc), and taking advantage of the larger screen real estate, handy multitasking capabilities too.

Fast performance, okay battery
+
With Qualcomm's top-end SoC at the helm (Snapdragon 8 Elite), along with 12 gigs of RAM, and UFS 4 storage, it's be safe to say that the Z Fold7 is the most powerful foldable around. It might not top the charts in terms of benchmarks, but then its slim design might have something to do with that. In real-life usage, it can handle anything and everything, and that includes running intensive games. The 4,400mAh battery however, isn't one of its strongest suits. While it lasts a day with medium usage, you might find yourself needing a top-up charge by evening if your usage is heavy, and if you tend to use it unfolded extensively. The 25W charging isn't something to boast about either, but it is what it is. Nothing surprising here. You do get support for wireless charging, so that's something.
