Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is off to a great start, but naturally, Samsung’s already considering its options for its 2026 model — and not every fan’s going to love what they’re hearing.

After a full reveal earlier this month, it’s launch week for Samsung’s upcoming lineup of foldables, and at least in the company’s home country, it seems like that bold, refreshed Galaxy Z Fold 7 design is paying off.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 marks an important point for the company’s foldable efforts. Not only is it quite literally half as thin as the original, but it’s also finally caught up to the competition. But this launch also means something else. The race for the “world’s thinnest foldable” is over at this point, and that means it’s time for Samsung and others to focus on something else in the post-Galaxy Z Fold 7 world.

Honor claims that its Magic V5 is “the world’s slimmest foldable,” but a comparison between Honor’s device and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems to show that Samsung’s device is actually just a bit thinner.

In the wake of several years where Samsung had decidedly changed very little in the way of device thickness, the company has officially reached a halfway point. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is half the size of the original Galaxy Fold, and that’s something to celebrate.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 represent a big leap forward for Samsung’s mobile arm, but they’re far from perfect devices. In a new interview, we’re getting some insight into the sacrifices made to achieve these new designs, and whether the S Pen could make a comeback in the future.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive jump for the company’s book-style foldable, delivering a needed upgrade and some major improvements. But if we’re looking to crown the biggest upgrade in foldable history, I think Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold still earns that title.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the big update that many have been waiting for, and after a couple of days using it, I’m already convinced that this is a worthwhile upgrade for any existing foldable owner, and the device that might finally be able to sell new buyers.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 has arrived with a whole slate of upgrades — at the cost of S Pen support, that is. But despite this year’s big-screen foldable feeling wholly reinvented, there’s one element that’s gone ignored for yet another year: battery capacity.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 appear to be what Samsung fans and critics alike have been demanding from the company for generations. Slimmer builds, larger displays, and even more powerful chipsets — what’s not to like? But ironically enough, Samsung might be hoping its latest Z-series lineup is enough to convince anyone with an aging Note device to make the plunge, even as S Pen compatibility is ripped away from that big, foldable display.

Samsung’s latest foldables are finally here, and in many ways, they’re the next-gen leaps we’ve been begging the company to make. From the ultra-thin — albeit not record-setting — Galaxy Z Fold 7 to the expansive cover screen found on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it’s looking like a great year to upgrade, and thankfully, Samsung’s trade-in program is here to help.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip FE are all available to pre-order from Samsung or other storefronts. This guide will break down each pre-order site to find the best deal for Samsung’s new foldables, as well as where you can get great value for your trade-ins.

Samsung is making a controversial change with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by removing S Pen support from the foldable entirely, all in the pursuit of making a thinner and more durable device.

The foldable market as we know it today exists because of Samsung, but to say the company fumbled its lead is an understatement. The company’s foldables over the past few years have been stagnant, boring, and arguably insulting to customers amid rapidly improving competition in other parts of the world. But, finally, Samsung is giving in and acknowledging that it needed to catch up, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are a tremendous showing of what the company is capable of when it actually hits the gas.

In its biggest hardware update since 2020’s Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung is launching the Galaxy Z Fold 7 today with a drastically thinner design, bigger displays, and a higher price too.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy Unpacked event is less than 24 hours away, but if you don’t feel like waiting, this latest leak tells you practically everything you’d want to know about the company’s latest foldables and smartwatches.

Samsung is setting the stage for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip FE launch – literally – and leaks are still pouring in. The latest leaks indicate that Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 foldable phones will launch with Android 16, becoming the first Samsung devices to run the new OS.

Just two days out from Unpacked, it’s time for yet another foldables leak from Samsung. This time, though, we could be looking at at least one surprising detour from previous rumors.

Following a hands-on image leak earlier this week, an Amazon listing has surfaced with what seems to be a quick look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its super-thin profile.

Qi2 has turned into a lot of disappointment as the magnetic standard continues to be mostly ignored, and Samsung also seems less than enthused as its official Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 cases continue to show that the company isn’t fully investing in the idea yet.
