The Z-Fold 7 is the best phone I've ever had! I've had many flagship phones but the Z Fold 7 is the first phone that has exceeded my expectations in a very long time. I loved my many Note series phones and my S21 Ultra was great but I definitely prefer the Z-Fold form factor. I was impressed by how useful my Z-Fold 4 was and surprised that the size wasn't as cumbersome as I expected. The improvements made later allowed me to be happy with my Z-Fold 5 and and further improvements made me even happier with my Z-Fold 6, but Samsung really hit the mark on the Z-Fold 7 and I can't imagine how they are going to improve it since it's perfect in almost every way possible.
Battery drains too fast. I might have gotten a lemon.

Just as smooth as my Fold 6. Would have gotten 5 stars but there isn't much difference between the 6 & 7. Yes its thinner, but I keep mine in a case so that doesn't matter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your candid feedback on the Galaxy Z Fold7, Danny. We love to see that you decided to make the leap from the Z Fold6 to the Z Fold7. While we agree that the Z Fold6 is a great device, the Z Fold 7 comes packed with a ton of upgrades. We see that you've already noticed that this iteration is thinner and lighter than its predecessors. We want to highlight some camera upgrades we've made. The Galaxy Z Fold7 features a high-resolution 200MP wide-angle camera, which is the same camera found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This is a significant improvement compared to the 50MP wide-angle camera on the Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Fold5, and Z Fold4. We hope you continue to explore and learn more about what you can do with the new Z Fold7! For any questions or concerns, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus

Pros & Cons

When I first opened the box and turned on the device, I was extremely impressed with the main screen and how thin the overall device is. I am a big fan of the biometric fingerprint scanner on the power button as well. It worked excellent. After having it for a day and a half I am returning it. The front screen for me is much too narrow and everything seemed very squeezed together. I bought it to be used as a regular phone but also to have increased productivity when needed to be opened for any sort of documents, reports, Excel spreadsheets, etc. yesterday when setting it up the battery drained fairly quick, but I attributed that to the extended setup process and how long I had the main screen open. Today just to be sure, I tested it out and found some significant battery related issues. I turned on battery saving mode as well as the dark theme and didn't allow any apps to run in the background. I strictly used the phone over Wi-Fi and had my other S25+ right next to it. Everything that I did on the Z-Fold I also did on the S25+ and never opened up the Z-Fold to use the main screen. After 3 hours, The z-folds battery was down to 68%. My S25+ still had 92%. All updates were completed before I did the comparison. When I opened up the battery setting it said that the biggest consumer of battery power was the One UI operating system. The newest one UI update isn't out yet for the S25+. So either there is a issue with the z-fold device itself and the battery consumption or an issue with the new operating system draining the z fold. Hopefully the S25+ doesn't have the same battery issue when it gets the new update. I was really hoping for the z-fold to be the big game-changer. If the main screen was wider and the battery issue didn't exist, this phone would be the best on the market, by far.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Counterintuitively, it may be too thin. The lens sticking out makes it wobbly even in a case. I love the fact I no longer need to carry both my eReader and my phone. When open, it replaces my Kindle.
