Battery drains too fast. I might have gotten a lemon.

My wife wanted that phone so much, having already had experience with the 5, so we decided to switch to another brand. It was a mistake; she never got used to it. The phone is very nice, weighs nothing, and it's even scary that it might fall and break. The colors are good, the operation is fluid, the camera is great, and the whole system is easy and fast. The only thing that bothers me is the amount of spam I'm getting. This didn't happen to me on the 5 I had before.

I have been a Samsung customer for over 20 years. I always order my new Samsung Galaxy phone directly from them. Upgrading all of my phones including my new Fold 7 was a simple decision and Samsung's website makes it easy.
I would give 5 stars because the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is super thin and lightweight. Howerver, without the s pen support and the screen is reflective, I rated 4 stars. But I still recommend it because it's a really beautiful smart (folded) phone and nothing looks like it before.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback on the Galaxy Z Fold7, Dimitry! While we truly appreciate the value of the S Pen in our Galaxy lineup, our main goal with this model was to deliver the lightest and thinnest experience yet. We wanted to maximize portability for our users, which is why we focused on that aspect. It's reassuring to see that you find it beautiful! Whether folded or unfolded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 really does exceed expectations. With an expanded 21:9 cover screen and an even sleeker form, it's now easier to hold than ever. Plus, the main screen spans 8 inches, making it the most expansive screen on a Galaxy phone. If you ever need anything or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at Samsung Support. Thanks again for your review! -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
Overall, this is a huge leap forward for the Fold series. The Fold 7 is ergonomic and well proportioned now. Gone is the skinny and unoptimized front screen, it now resembles and functions as well as a bar phone. Then, once you open it up, you have a mini tablet, and many apps are now optimized better to function better on it. The part that is lacking and the reasoning for taking a star off is for a couple reasons. One, the battery is unchanged in capacity from the Fold 6, and the phone barely lasts until after dinner. Not reassuring if you’re taking it on the go for the day, especially if you are using it in tablet form moreso. The second problem is the fingerprint scanner location and functionality. It sometimes works, if you can properly find it.
Overall, a well designed device with a lot of pluses from prior models and updates, but also with some missed opportunities for upgrades.
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy buds 3 pro compliment my Z Fold 7 with clear sounds, deep base and impressive noise canceling features. I use them everyday for listening to music or answering phone calls and works flawlessly when using galaxy AI to help understand the world around me on the go or getting the facts in real time. I'm super satisfied with my galaxy buds 3 pro
