Hard to open

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Without fingernails, like actual length, not working man length, you really can’t open the thing. I do have a thin case on it, but this thing needs tabs or something to help open it. And the fingerprint reader hates me.

Hi there GurnseyT, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insights on the Galaxy Z Fold7. Its new design features a tighter, more secure closing to better protect the device. An improved spring mechanism allows for a closer fold, minimizing the risk of obstructions when closed. However, opening the Galaxy Z Fold7 can sometimes be challenging due to its slim, flat profile, which makes it harder to grasp firmly, and because the magnets holding it shut require extra force. To ease opening, try using two hands—placing your thumbs on opposite sides and gently pulling apart. Adding a case can also enhance grip and make opening easier. Regarding the fingerprint reader, ensure your case doesn’t cover the power button and that your finger fully touches the reader when unlocking. We appreciate your feedback and value your support. -Ty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Design: Samsung Finally Nails the Form Factor The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the foldable phone we've been waiting for. For years, the major drawback of the Fold series was its bulky, two-phones-stuck-together feel. The Fold 7 completely solves this, arriving as Samsung's slimmest and lightest foldable yet.
The AI Leap: Galaxy AI and Gemini This is where the Fold 7 truly steps into the next generation. The combination of the Snapdragon 8 Elite NPU and One UI 8's Galaxy AI makes this device feel like a genuinely smart personal assistant. The large screen elevates the core AI features
I love this phone is perfect in all aspects but the battery is awful. I would sacrifice having a bigger phone and heavier for a bigger battery that can handle a full day battery without having to recharge mid day. Aside from that the fold 7 is perfect. I love it.

Improved battery efficiency helps you stay connected longer, and we’re here to help you maximize it. You can achieve all-day battery life—it's just about optimizing your device’s battery.

Tap Power saving, then activate the switches next to your preferred settings. Put rarely used apps to sleep in the background to save battery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product allows me to do many tasks efficiently with less distractions when prioritized. Since there is less time switching in-between applications, I am able to use whichever tools the phone provides to cut the time to do tasks by at least half. The phone also allows me to have a more refined multitasking skillset.
I traded in an S25 Ultra, and sort of regret it. I travel frequently for work, and wanted the bigger screen for watching movies during flights. It's great for that, and when in airplane mode the battery life is perfectly acceptable. When connected to a network, whether or not I'm actively using it, the battery level starts dropping immediately. I find I now have to travel with an external battery pack or plugging in frequently when sitting in an airport terminal. Something I never needed to do with my S25 Ultra. Knowing all this, I don't think I would do it again. Probably will trade this in when the S26 comes out. Love you Samsung, but this one just does not do it for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a really good phone. Samsung missed the boat when they took the stylus away. Please bring it back and then this will be a 5 star phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!
