The Z Fold7 initially performed well with the thinnest model ever made. However, after 5 months of delicate use in a secure case and no drops the same inner screen and hinge failure that plagued my Z Fold 4 happened once again after paying off the device. Moreover, Samsung had guidelines to not honor the 1 year manufacture warranty to cover hinge failure even though it would've be replaced anyways with inner screen. I was told by the authorized repair shop my out of pocket expense would be $750. I really liked the Z Fold series concept, but I'm done with this lack of quality control and just pushing out new models with no real improvement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone is amazing. Im getting older so looking at a little screen up close is not ideal anymore. This phone solves the issue of small text and tiny video sceens.
This Z Fold7 is an awesome phone. The only thing. I wish it had it's own stylus. Other than that I have no complaints whatsoever. Best cellphone ever. I'm most definitely in Love with it. I couldn't have made a better decision.
