Pros
Thinner, lighter foldable with a wider 6.5" cover screen and an expansive 8" inner OLED, making one-handed use and multitasking noticeably easier.
Big camera leap: 200 MP main sensor plus ultra-wide and 3× telephoto deliver sharper detail and better low-light results; dual selfie cameras help for video calls and creators.
Long-term support (7 years of OS/security updates) and a fast Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy keep it smooth for years.
Cons
Premium price in the U.S. (around $1,800+) puts it out of reach for many.
No S Pen support this generation.
Charging speeds are modest (25 W wired / 15 W wireless) and the IP48 rating trails some slab-style flagships.
On top of:
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 — smaller cameras and screens, heavier feel.
OnePlus Open — excellent value but older hardware and shorter support window.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold — strong AI features, but thicker and less polished for multitasking.
Behind of:
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — if you don’t need a foldable, it wins on battery life, S Pen, and raw camera versatility.
Honor Magic V5 — thinner and lighter overall (availability in North America is limited).
Summary
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the most refined big-screen foldable you can buy in North America: sleeker in the pocket, better to type on, and finally packing a flagship-grade 200 MP camera. Seven years of updates and a powerful chipset make it a reliable long-term pick. You give up S Pen support and fastest-in-class charging, and the price is steep, but if you want the best do-everything phone-and-tablet hybrid, this is the one to beat.
