I spent a week in New York City with the Samsung Z Fold 7 - and it spoiled me the entire time


The Galaxy Z Fold 7 surpassed my expectations, standing out as one of the best book-style foldables I've used, despite its telephoto camera.

You get an easy-to-hold form factor, virtually no crease, a cover screen that's close to a regular phone in itself, a solid hinge, and the same main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's no longer fixated on the narrow form factor, enabling the 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio so apps interact better and play along well with the whole slab phone-like feel. We awarded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 an Editors' Choice because Samsung finally redesigned its foldable to compete with Chinese rivals and even bettered them in multiple ways.
