If I had known that the battery barely lasts 5 hours using the big screen.I would not have gotten this phone. For the price that's a major shortcoming and an out and out design flaw! It's also quite heavy, which I could deal with if the battery lasted longer.Would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Front screen is a little too narrow. Opening into a small tablet is very nice for video or some other apps. There is one flaw that is a very frequent annoyance. Do a google search. The text when opened into a tablet is very small but readable. The text on the front screen is microscopic with no way i have been able to find to adjust to a readable size. Battery life is ok. Probably will not be very good as the battery ages. Charging speed seems to be very slow. Cost of this phone is VERY high.
All in all if i knew then what i know now i would not have purchased it.

Awesome phone! I have had several phones in the Fold Series and the Fold 7 is the best so far. Both Screens are noticeably larger than previous versions. Very happy with purchase.
What a great phone. I'll never go back to a regular phone. When its closed, I wish it was as big as my old S24 Ultra but when you open it, I forgot about the front.
