24 hours later with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Why I'm leaving the S25 Ultra behind


It might be the slimmness. It might be the 200MP main camera. It might also be the $2,000 price tag.

This year's handset is powered by 12GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, a processor that has proven to reliably handle multi-app workflows, intensive gaming sessions, and AI tasks. I'm talking punchy and sharp-looking imagery with a fairly balanced color temperature and wide dynamic range, whether it's a seagull hanging on the Staten Island ferry or an office selfie with Google's Sameer Samat.
