Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 release date
Digest more
Despite retaining a 4,400 mAh battery, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows improved endurance in early battery tests. More details here.
Samsung says it prioritized things other than the battery with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but we're not sure that was the right choice – or that we couldn't have had it all.
The Vivo X Fold 5 brings a 6,000mAh battery and undercuts Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 on price without compromising on features.
The Z Fold 7 is overall slightly taller and wider than its predecessor, which results in bigger screens. The new foldable has a 6.5-inch AMOLED Full HD Plus (2,520x1,080 pixels) cover display, up from the 6.3-inch AMOLED Full HD Plus (2,376x968 pixels) cover display on the Z Fold 6. Both models have 1 to 120Hz variable refresh rates.
In comparison, past Google Foldables are rather chunky beasts. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn't quite as bad as the original Pixel Fold, and its 5.1mm unfolded thickness means it's actually thinner than the Z Fold 6. But it's still thicker and heavier than the 4.6mm/7.5 ounce Galaxy Z Fold 7.
