Customer Reviews for Samsung - Galaxy Z Fold7 256GB - Blue Shadow (Verizon)

I am coming from a Samsung S22 Ultra 5G. I was hesitant because I really didn't want to give up my (Bluetooth) S-Pen capability since Samsung ruined the functionality and took away its fully capabilities. All the models after the S22 really doesn't offer anything "new" except for maybe a few specs slightly better. Considering that they promoted the Z Fold7 heavily this year, along with many enthusiasts providing positive reviews, it peaked my interest.
Long story short, I purchased the 1TB/16gb Fold 7 and I couldn't be happier. Still upset about the loss of the S-pen but the speed and ease of use make up for it.
Please keep in mind a few things regarding the tablet mode of this phone. There are a lot of bugs. A good portion of apps don't work with this form factor. Sometimes the inner screen freezes and apps stop working, forcing you to press the power button to lock it and reopen it. Sometimes that doesnt even help and you need to do some troubleshooting to get it to display/unfreeze. Sure, maybe I am just a one-off situation. This didnt just happen, by the way, this has been happening since day one. I hope there is some sort of bug fix or update in the future.
Other than that this phone is phenomenal. You will absolutely "wow" people who see you use it and you will find yourself enjoying doom-scrolling or even multitasking with it more than you anticipate. I 100% recommend

Hey there EmkM,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold7. Note taking is a big part of how many people use foldables, especially with that larger canvas when the device is open. We appreciate you calling out how much the S Pen support matters to your workflow and creativity. Feedback like this helps highlight what customers value most when using the Z Fold for productivity. Thank you for being part of the Samsung community.

For the last generations I have been getting folds, and I love them. Sadly, I know I am a minority on this though, but I went ahead and return it due to lacking a lot of the features I love of the Fold lineup. The inner display camera, the s-pen support, and the narrow aspect ratio on the front screen display; making the inner display more of a wide screen display rather than a square display.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased the fold 5 2 years ago and loved it. I worked on a golf course for those 2 year with 60+ sand bunkers leaving my pockets full of sand daily and I never had an issue with any scratches on either of the screen.
And the fold 7 is way better. From the size of the front screen to the camera and how thin it is, this phone is hands down the best phone on the market

- It doesn't feel heavy despite being a foldable.
- Doesn't get hot when you run games.
- Both screens have good brightness color accuracy and fast refresh rate.
- I like the back end cameras but I miss the better optical zoom compared to the ultra.
- The speakers are nice and are loud enough for me.
- The wireless charging coil on the back should have been a little lower, some charging pads have trouble because of the camera bump. It works well if you buy a mag safe compatible cover and charger combo.
- The wobbling because of the camera bump is an issue but it can be managed by a good cover. I have the Nillkin Iceblade CamProp.
- The RAM, CPU and GPU are fast enough to run the graphically demanding games I like to play like Genshin Impact.
- I find the battery life sufficient for my workflows, but I wish they could support faster charging speeds.

Galaxy Fold 7 – Worth the Upgrade? My Honest Take
on December 23, 2025
Posted by: Pierre Palo

Expertise:Intermediate
Verified Purchase:Yes
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!
