A brief overview
The Foldable That Changed Our Minds
Foldables have promised innovation for years, but few have lived up to the hype. In this Galaxy Fold 7 review, we’re finally seeing what a foldable smartphone can become when design, durability, and performance align. After two weeks with Samsung’s newest flagship, we can say with confidence: this is the closest thing yet to the “perfect foldable.”
Design & Build: Thinner, Stronger, Smarter
Right out of the box, the Galaxy Fold 7 feels different. Closed, it resembles a premium slab phone—sleek and sturdy. Opened, it’s impossibly thin at just 4.2mm. Samsung didn’t just shave off thickness; they rebuilt the hinge, reinforced the frame with titanium, and upgraded the outer glass to Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2.
This is a foldable built for the real world, not just showrooms.
Display: A Bigger, Brighter Inside Experience
The 8-inch foldable AMOLED display is sharp, bright (up to 2600 nits), and buttery smooth thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate. The crease is less noticeable than in previous models, though still faintly visible. The cover display is solid, though less impressive in direct sunlight.
Hardware & Performance: Snapdragon Muscle
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Fold 7 flies through multitasking, gaming, and productivity tasks. UFS 4.0 storage and up to 16GB of RAM ensure this device can keep up with anything. In this Galaxy Fold 7 review, we found that performance is flagship-level, even when juggling multiple apps in split-screen mode.
Battery life remains the weak point: 4,400mAh with modest endurance and slow 25W charging. And yes, the S Pen is missing this year.
Software Experience: Android Meets Foldable UX
Samsung’s One UI 8 atop Android 16 brings smart tweaks for foldables. Flex Mode, split apps, and Google Gemini integration all add value. That said, some features are still not fully localized in all regions, especially voice-based translations.
But for most users, the UI feels familiar, stable, and surprisingly polished for such a unique form factor.
Camera System: Nearly Flagship-Level
The Fold 7 borrows its 200MP sensor from the S25 Ultra, and it shows. Daylight shots are crisp, low-light performance is solid, and video options like 8K recording and Super Slow-Mo offer creative flexibility.
Selfie performance is decent but not groundbreaking—10MP sensors front and inside aren’t on par with the outer camera array. Still, in this Galaxy Fold 7 review, we’re impressed by the foldable’s overall versatility in photography.
Final Verdict: Worth the Fold?
At a premium price point, the Fold 7 isn’t for everyone. But if you’re ready for a foldable that finally feels completely durable, fast, and practical, this is your moment. It’s not just a cool gadget anymore. It’s a real contender in the flagship space.
