Galaxy Fold 7 – Worth the Upgrade? My Honest Take
on December 23, 2025

I loved my Fold 6, and I genuinely hesitated to upgrade. This wasn’t a “must-upgrade” year on paper. But after using the Fold 7, I can say clearly: this is a meaningful upgrade, especially if you value comfort and fluidity.
First, the weight reduction is massive. This is the single biggest difference. The Fold 7 feels dramatically lighter in the hand, and that changes the entire daily experience. If you’ve ever felt foldables were just a bit too heavy, this alone might justify the upgrade.
The phone is also noticeably faster. It’s not night-and-day in raw speed, but everything feels smoother and more effortless. App switching, multitasking, and animations flow better — and yes, the jump from 12 GB to 16 GB of RAM is palpable. Things just move more easily. There’s less friction everywhere.
The slightly larger outer display also matters more than spec sheets suggest. Going from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches doesn’t sound huge, but in daily use, it absolutely is. The cover screen feels more usable, more “normal,” and more comfortable for quick interactions.
I do miss the S Pen support, but honestly, it’s not a deal-breaker. I didn’t use it often — it’s more about knowing the option was there. For me, the tradeoff was worth it given how much lighter and more refined the phone feels.
Bottom Line
If you loved the Fold 6 and are on the fence:
If weight matters to you, upgrade — no question.
If you value smoothness, multitasking, and overall ease, the Fold 7 delivers.
And if you can afford it, I’d recommend the upgrade 100%.
This is one of those upgrades that doesn’t scream at you on day one — it just makes everything easier, lighter, and better every time you pick it up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I first got the 25, I like a bigger screen, but didn't want the line of the fold. Then I saw a flip and the line wasn't noticeable, so I traded my 25 and went with the fold. I do not regret it! Honestly the fold crease is barely noticeable, and the transition from fold to unfold is smooth. The screen colors are crisp and transitioning between aps is smooth.
I am honestly glad I took the leap and got the fold.
It's not thick like I thought it would be, and not extremely heavy.
Again it's small but mighty! Another knock outta the park for Samsung.

There have been significant improvements since our first phone (Galaxy Z-Fold 4). Phone is thinner and faster. Screen is crisper. Overall the phone is very responsive. Being able to get access a wider screen makes reading articles pleasant. All and all a wonderful phone.

Battery could have been better, cameras, other than the main one should be better but overall, I think Samsung did good job, not perfect but I would say the ZF7 is better than any other foldable on the market right now.
