[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As stated above, love the Z Fold 7.
Unlike previous Galaxy Z Fold phones, which felt like a brick in your hands, the Z Fold 7 is slim, sleek, and lightweight. It almost makes up for the removal of the S Pen and the Under-Display Camera on the Main Screen.
When I first held this device, it felt like I was holding a dummy phone, like the ones commonly seen in carrier stores to showcase the physical dimensions of a device. I could not believe how lightweight it felt next to the Z Fold 6, which from that point forward started to feel like a tank in my hands.
The Z Fold 7 is a slippery device, and can be somewhat risky to hold it one-handed, especially when unfolded. I ordered the Samsung Clear Grip Case, and I use the grip strap almost every time I unfold the phone. Not only to prevent it from slipping, but also because the strap makes the phone much more comfortable to hold.
Another thing that I love about the Fold 7 in comparison to previous Folds is the upgraded camera array. Sure, it might not be as powerful as the one on the S25 Ultra, but it is good enough and a definitive upgrade from previous generations.
The new Snapdragon processor also handles battery consumption excellently. Even though the Fold 7 has the same battery capacity as the Fold 6, my battery lasts way longer on this new device, despite the inner screen being bigger and brighter.
All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Just wish Samsung would bring back the S Pen and UDC in the future.
