Over the last few years I've been able to try out almost every foldable phone – including a number of prototypes and China-only products. That's given me a good palette to compare and contrast the best folding phones, which have been improving significantly year on year.
But Samsung just dropped an absolute bomb in the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 – which I got to try at the brand's Unpacked summer 2025 event, and already think is the folding phone to beat. It delivers new proportions that make more sense, is among the slimmest on the market, and has tried-and-tested software that I think is a big part of its appeal.
