Samsung’s getting ready to drop the Galaxy Z Fold 7 — and honestly, it looks like they’ve really tried to take things up a notch this time. If you’ve followed their foldables before, you probably know they’ve had some hits and misses. But this one? It feels like they’ve listened to the feedback and actually made the changes people wanted.
A slimmer foldable that actually fits in your pocket
One thing that’s kinda annoying about foldables is how chunky they can get. Samsung seems to be tackling that head-on with the Z Fold 7. When it's opened up, it’s just 3.9mm thick — seriously, that’s thinner than anything they’ve done before. And when you fold it? Only 8.9mm. That means it’s not gonna feel like a brick in your pocket.
The screen also got a bit of a size boost — taller and wider now — which makes a difference if you’re someone who watches stuff or works on the go. So yeah, it feels like you’re getting more screen real estate without it being awkward to carry around.
Big, bright screens you’ll actually want to use
Samsung’s always been pretty solid with displays, and this one’s no different. The main screen is this big 8.2-inch AMOLED thing that supports 120Hz refresh rate and can go super bright — like 2600 nits, which is wild. That just means it’s gonna look good whether you’re watching videos or scrolling in sunlight.
And even the outside screen (the one you use when the phone’s folded) isn’t just an afterthought. It’s a 6.5-inch AMOLED panel, so you can use it normally without having to open the phone all the time. Makes life easier for sure.
Camera setup that’s actually impressive this time
Let’s be real — foldables haven’t always nailed the camera game. But with the Fold 7, Samsung’s bringing a 200MP main camera. Yep, 200. That’s a pretty huge jump.
You’re also getting:
-
A 12MP ultra-wide for those big landscape shots
-
A 10MP telephoto for zoomed-in pics
-
And a 4MP under-display camera for the front — not the best spec-wise, but hey, it keeps the screen clean
Finally a foldable that doesn’t make you feel like you’re sacrificing photo quality just to get a cool screen.
Under the hood, it’s no slouch
Performance-wise, this phone’s gonna be solid. Samsung’s using the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite (that’s what the leaks are saying, at least). It’s built for speed and efficiency, so whether you’re gaming or just flipping between apps, you’ll be fine.
It also packs:
-
12GB RAM — so multitasking’s easy
-
Up to 512GB of storage — great for all those high-res pics and videos
-
Optimized software that’s supposed to help things run smoother and save battery too
Basically, it should handle whatever you throw at it.
Battery life that won’t leave you stuck at 3PM
You’d think a phone this slim might cut corners on battery — but nah. It’s rocking a 4400mAh battery, which is decent. With all the software optimization and the new chip, you should be able to get through the day without stressing about a charger.
And yeah, it supports fast charging too, so even if you do run low, you won’t be stuck for long.
Pricey? Yeah. But maybe worth it
Alright, here’s the thing — this isn’t gonna be a cheap phone. The expected price is around ₹1,89,999 for the 256GB model. If you want the 512GB version, that’ll obviously cost a bit more.
But if you’re into foldables or just want something that feels new and different, it could be worth it. Samsung usually throws in pre-order deals too — stuff like trade-in offers or discounts — so that might take the edge off the price a little.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks like it could be Samsung’s best foldable yet. It's slimmer, faster, and honestly just seems like something you'd actually want to use every day. Is it perfect? Who knows — we'll have to see when it officially drops. But if you've been waiting to try a foldable without feeling like you’re making too many trade-offs, this might finally be the one.
Let’s see how it performs once it’s out in the wild.
