Review: The incredibly thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 is my favorite Samsung foldable yet

It's not perfect, but that thinness goes a long way.

I’m still a bit skeptical overall of the long-term viability of high-end foldables compared to regular smartphones (they really need to start costing less than $2,000), but from a pure usability standpoint, the Z Fold 7 is just tremendous. In performing Mashable's standard battery testing (which involved playing a video in HD on the inner display at 50 percent brightness until the phone died), I got about 20 hours of life out of the Z Fold 7. It wins in enough other areas that this could be a nice everyday device for years to come, assuming there aren’t any long-term technical problems that wouldn’t show up in a launch window review.
