Everything and more! Ive converted my friends from competitor brands to this because of how amazing it is. I have been a fan since the Note series, then the S series, and now the Z series. People ask me to use my phone over their own for puctures, videos, google lense, ai etc. Far superior phone to any out there and im more of a fan than every before which i didnt think possible!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's all that and more! Long and slightly less wide than my S24 Ultra, the dual screen surface on the inside more than makes up for the difference. Super light and thin, with a not so light cost, is worth every penny.
Honestly, I absolutely love this phone. The design, thinness, and overall display sizes are amazing. In its folded and unfolded states, the phone feels amazingly thin, yet still sturdy. The hinge feels different, in a good way. It's got a certain snappiness when opening and closing. This is unlike the Fold 6 I used to have which, while still acceptable in general, felt more mushy and didnt "snap" open or closed.
Display brightness is pretty great, however, an anti reflective coating would have been nice. As I type this with an overhead lamp behind me, it glares tremendously. I find myself "tipsy turvy-ing" the phone to see move the light reflection around.
Battery is OK. Not terrible, not great. I use the Light power profile since I'm not a super power user. Mostly some social media shorts and video streaming, so full power usage is not necessary. I'm finding that the Light profile is still plenty fast and I'm not experiencing any weird glitching or slowdown. I got just over 10 hours screen time and 14 hours of standby on a 100% charge going all the way to 0 (doing a battery calibration). Mostly FB and YT, with FB having more than twice the on screen time than YT.
The exclusion of the S-pen honestly doesn't bother me, never used it on the Fold 6 and I never use it on my S23 Ultra, so its a non-issue.
I traded in my Fold6 for a major discount during pre-order, so the price became super enticing. I loved my Fold6, but made the mistake of going to a store and checking it out in person. It was game over after that.
About a month later, I am still smitten and absolutely love this phone. At home, I strip the case and play with it naked. The Fold7, I mean...
Unless they do something radical with the Fold9 or 10, I likely won't upgrade for a while. I'm also concerned about the fact that the subsequent successors won't be as thin, according to some rumors. I love this thinness.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold7, Tom. We appreciate your feedback on the design and feel, especially the thinness and the improved hinge's snappy action. Your feedback about display brightness and glare is valuable, and we appreciate the suggestion for an anti-reflective coating for future models. It's great to see that it suits your social media and video streaming needs. In this iteration, our focus was on providing the lightest and thinnest experience to maximize portability. While the S Pen is still an important part of our lineup, we prioritized a streamlined design. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. -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
