Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Review: Brilliant Design but Pricey Trade-Off – Full Specs, Features & Launch Details

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 available in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, and Mint colors”

Launch Date & Availability

Samsung launched its Galaxy Z Fold7 on July 9, 2025, at the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event. It officially hit the market on July 25, 2025, and became available through Samsung’s official website, Amazon, and Flipkart. The hype was real — in fact, over 2.1 lakh pre-orders were recorded within just two days in India.

Design & Build Quality

When it comes to design, the Z Fold7 steps up its game. It feels premium right from the moment you pick it up.

Material: Made with strong Armor Aluminum frame
Dimensions (Folded): 158.4 × 72.8 × 8.9 mm
Thickness (Unfolded): 4.2 mm
Weight: About 215 grams
Durability: IP48 rated — splash and dust resistant

It’s thinner than you’d expect and folds down pretty comfortably into a pocket. Thanks to the FlexHinge, opening and closing the device feels smoother than ever.

Display Details

Samsung clearly focused on display tech here — and it shows. You get two bright, responsive AMOLED screens:

Screen	Details
Outer Display	6.5″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2
Main Display	8.0″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, with 2600 nits brightness

Colors pop, motion is fluid, and even outdoors in bright light, visibility is excellent.

Camera Setup

The Fold7’s camera setup looks like it means business:

Rear Cameras:
- 200MP main sensor (f/1.7)
- 12MP ultra-wide
- 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom
Selfie Cameras:
- 10MP on both the main and cover displays
Video Capabilities:
- Shoots up to 4K at 60fps

The rear sensor takes some seriously detailed shots. With AI-backed ProVisual Engine, low-light shots and portraits are more vibrant and clearer than before.

Performance & Software

This phone doesn’t just look good — it’s a real performance machine. Samsung has packed the Fold7 with:

Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm chip)
RAM: Available in 12GB and 16GB options
Storage: 256GB / 512GB / 1TB (UFS 4.0)
Software: Runs Android 16 with Samsung’s One UI 8
Updates: Guaranteed software support for 7 years

Multitasking on the unfolded screen is smooth. Even heavy games and editing apps don’t cause lag.

Battery & Charging

The Fold7 packs a 4400mAh battery, which does fine for regular use. If you’re into heavy usage though — multitasking or long gaming sessions — you might find yourself reaching for the charger sooner than expected.

Wired Charging: 25W fast charging
Wireless Charging: 15W
Reverse Charging: Yes, works for earbuds and other devices
