I am coming from a Samsung S22 Ultra 5G. I was hesitant because I really didn't want to give up my (Bluetooth) S-Pen capability since Samsung ruined the functionality and took away its fully capabilities. All the models after the S22 really doesn't offer anything "new" except for maybe a few specs slightly better. Considering that they promoted the Z Fold7 heavily this year, along with many enthusiasts providing positive reviews, it peaked my interest.
Long story short, I purchased the 1TB/16gb Fold 7 and I couldn't be happier. Still upset about the loss of the S-pen but the speed and ease of use make up for it.
Please keep in mind a few things regarding the tablet mode of this phone. There are a lot of bugs. A good portion of apps don't work with this form factor. Sometimes the inner screen freezes and apps stop working, forcing you to press the power button to lock it and reopen it. Sometimes that doesnt even help and you need to do some troubleshooting to get it to display/unfreeze. Sure, maybe I am just a one-off situation. This didnt just happen, by the way, this has been happening since day one. I hope there is some sort of bug fix or update in the future.
Other than that this phone is phenomenal. You will absolutely "wow" people who see you use it and you will find yourself enjoying doom-scrolling or even multitasking with it more than you anticipate. I 100% recommend
Great phone but the cameras are lacking. I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra and there is a huge difference between these cameras especially in the zoom quality. Compared to other phones on the market that have foldable devices some are out there have amazing cameras. You've got way cheaper phones out of China that have amazing camera quality like vivo. I paid too much for too little.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
