During its “Galaxy Unpacked” event, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7, a remarkable evolution in foldable technology.
Pre-orders have already begun, almost immediately after the groundbreaking reveal. The base price in USD is $1,999, a $100 jump from the previous generation.
This model is expected to reaffirm Samsung’s dominance in the competitive market for foldable gadgets, which have gained popularity in recent years.
Thinner, Lighter, and Smarter Than Its Predecessor
Upon an initial glance at the Galaxy Z Fold 7, you may not appreciate a significant difference from the Z Fold 6, but it is a dramatic upgrade.
With an unfolded thickness of 4.2 mm and a folded thickness of 8.9mm, the ZFold 7 is much slimmer than its predecessor. Weighing 215g, it is also lighter.
In terms of durability, the ZFold 7 has an enhanced build Grade 4 titanium lattice, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the cover screen.
The 200 Megapixels (MP) main sensor has significantly enhanced the camera system, elevating the degree of detail and density of colour observed in images.
The model has also received rave reviews for effective AI integration. Gemini Live provides an AI-driven interface that will facilitate multitasking and functionality.
Compelling Foldable with Trade-offs
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thin, light, and smart. With leading-edge camera technology and deep AI integration, it will enhance the user experience.
However, there are some trade-offs.
Approaching two thousand USD, the high price could be an issue for many potential buyers. Furthermore, battery life remains modest, retaining the 4,400 mAh dual-cell battery
The model has also lost its S Pen support, which is likely to disappoint many students and graphic designers. This is a major downgrade from its predecessors.
For users who want the thrill of real multitasking, premium build, and cutting-edge AI tools in a portable form factor, the Fold 7 is a clear leap forward. But if you’re price-sensitive or rely heavily on stylus input, it may still fall short.
