Samsung has finally delivered the foldable phone we\u2019ve been waiting for. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn\u2019t just iterate\u2014it transforms the foldable experience into something genuinely usable, sleek, and luxurious. But as much as it solves long-standing design issues, its $1,999 price tag introduces a new one: accessibility.<\/p>\n

At a glance, it\u2019s clear Samsung paid attention to years of user feedback. The Fold 7 is significantly thinner\u2014just 8.9mm when folded\u2014and far more comfortable to hold. Its predecessor, the Fold 6, feels downright bulky by comparison. This new model now feels like a phone that\u2019s ready for everyday use, not just for tech enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Delivers a Thinner, Smarter Foldable Experience<\/h2>\n

Samsung redesigned the Fold\u2019s structure, starting with a new **6.5-inch cover screen** featuring a 2520 x 1080 resolution. Finally, it looks and feels like a typical phone when closed, a long-awaited change from the narrow, remote-like screens of past models. The inner display now stretches to **8 inches**, with no under-display selfie camera gimmicks\u2014just a crisp 10MP punch-hole camera.
In pursuit of thinness, Samsung dropped S Pen support, citing the removal of a screen layer required for stylus use. For many, it\u2019s a fair trade-off. What you get in return is a slimmer profile that enhances usability dramatically.<\/p>\n

Design Overhaul Meets Familiar Tradeoffs<\/h2>\n

While dropping the S Pen may disappoint some, Samsung retained the IP48 rating for water and dust resistance, making the Fold 7 durable enough for most everyday environments.
The build quality remains premium, with finishes in blue, black, and silver. But that quality comes at a steep price\u2014$1,999. The Fold 6 was already expensive at $1,899, but crossing the psychological $2,000 barrier makes the Fold 7 a luxury item, not a mainstream choice.<\/p>\n

The Z Flip 7 Joins the Party with Much-Needed Upgrades<\/h2>\n

Not to be overshadowed, the **Galaxy Z Flip 7** also got a major upgrade\u2014a **full edge-to-edge cover display**. This enhancement brings it closer to Motorola\u2019s recent Razr design and adds true utility to the front screen. You can now view widgets, navigate apps, and more.
Other upgrades include:<\/p>\n

4,300mAh battery<\/a><\/p>\n

DeX support<\/p>\n

Gemini Assistant on the cover screen<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also IP48-rated and feels more polished than ever, though it\u2019s only slightly slimmer than the previous Flip model.<\/p>\n

What About the Flip 7 FE?<\/h2>\n

Samsung introduced the **Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE**, priced at **$899**. While technically \u201cbudget-friendly,\u201d it doesn\u2019t undercut the $699 Motorola Razr, which offers more value in some aspects. The FE still uses the older cover screen design, making it less appealing to those looking for cutting-edge features.<\/p>\n

Samsung Listened \u2014 But At What Cost?<\/h2>\n

Using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the first time is a revelation. It no longer feels like a tech demo. It feels like a real phone\u2014one that can be used all day, every day. The new cover screen, the ultra-thin chassis, and the practical design decisions make it a standout in the foldable market.
But at $1,999, it remains out of reach for most.<\/p>\n

Samsung has made the most complete foldable phone yet. The next step? Making it affordable.<\/p>\n
