Is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 worth it over a regular flagship phone?

If you regularly use two apps side by side or watch a lot of video, the folding screen is the reason to buy. If you mostly use one app at a time, a slab phone is lighter, tougher and cheaper to repair.

How does the Z Fold 7 compare with the Z Fold 6?

The Fold 7 brings a 200 MP main camera and a thinner body, while keeping the same book-style folding design and multi-window software. The camera is the biggest practical upgrade.

Is the inner screen durable?

The folding AMOLED is more delicate than a glass slab screen. Avoid pressing hard on the crease and keep sharp objects away from the display.

Does it work with all carriers?

It is unlocked for GSM and CDMA networks, so it works with major US carriers. Check that your carrier supports the bands you need before switching.

The phone ships in its original Samsung box with the standard accessories. A wall charger is not included, so you need your own USB-C charger.

Can I use an S Pen with it?

S Pen support depends on the model and the pen type. Check Samsung's compatibility list for the Fold 7 before buying a pen.

Our take on the Samsung Z Fold 7 512GB - Black

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung's book-style foldable phone, with an 8.0-inch folding AMOLED inner screen, 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Its headline feature is a 200 MP main camera, a big step up from earlier Folds, paired with a 10 MP cover camera and 10/12 MP ultrawide and telephoto lenses. It suits people who want a phone that opens into a small tablet for multitasking, reading and video, and who accept the crease, the weight and the higher cost of foldables. Against rivals like the OnePlus Open and Google Pixel Fold, it offers more camera resolution and Samsung's mature multi-window software, while competitors often undercut it on price and some offer wider cover screens.
