Horrible phone
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: Cinque

This is the worse galaxy I've ever owned. I had ZFOLD 5. I never had an issue with. I've owned other galaxy phones and products no issues. This is a HORRIBLE phone. It drops calls on the regular. The mobile data option in settings switches on and off on its own and when it's off of course the phone doesn't function properly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Cinque,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Z Fold7. This series aims to offer reliable connectivity and seamless multitasking within its versatile design. If you're experiencing dropped calls or unstable data, a quick software update might resolve these issues. Also, verify with your carrier that you are on a 5G plan and that your account has no problems. Confirm you're in a 5G-supported region and that your carrier's service isn't disrupted locally. After confirming network stability, a restart can help refresh your connection. Note: Resetting network settings will delete Bluetooth pairings and Wi-Fi networks, access Settings > General management > Reset > Reset network settings, then tap Reset settings. Enter your PIN or password if prompted, then confirm by tapping Reset. You can then test your mobile connectivity. For more info, see our online article linked below. If needed, contact our Samsung Support Team; we’re here to assist. Your insights emphasize the importance of connectivity to the device experience. Thanks for choosing Samsung.

It's a very nice phone overall. The volume and power buttons need to stick out more because they're very hard to feel being so recessed, especially when using a case. I also have trouble holding it when it's fully opened without touching the screen because its too wide for my hands, which I understand is not a fault with the phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Pam W, Thank you for your feedback on the Galaxy Z Fold7. Foldable devices are designed to combine large screens with carefully engineered hardware. Your insights on button placement and handling highlight how factors such as hand size, accessories, and usage habits influence comfort when using larger foldables. We value your input. While we aimed to keep the device slim for a sleek look, we understand that button placement could be incorporated differently for easier use. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Ty

Was it gonna be too much phone for practicality? Not enough tabletness to browse web pages, see videos we'll enough.., wherever that magic mark lay? Nailed it. Plus big D battery stamina. Big hand text friendly. Processor doesn't flinch, RAM for days and HiFi Usb-c pipped out audio. Had an S21 before this and didn't really want to upgrade. I'm firmly in the "don't need a new phone every 2yrs" camp. But fate forced my hand. I hate to admit it, but getting the major Android updates makes a difference. Glad to know I will get them for the foreseeable future. - Luddite at Heart
Very light weight, smaller than a Galaxy and very easy to use. Great for when you need more screen for documents and browsers and games.

I’m honestly pretty disappointed with the Samsung Z7 Fold. Initially, it seemed like a really promising device, but the foldable screen just didn’t hold up at all. After about a month, it cracked for no reason—no bumps, no drops, just normal use. For a phone at this price point, I expected a lot more durability. Instead, it ended up feeling like a pretty expensive piece of “garbage.” A screen that fails this quickly without any obvious cause just isn’t worth it

I really like the zfold 7. I like the bigger screen. I like how thin it is it fits my cell phone holder in my car when unfolded just fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
