Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review: making up for lost time

A photo of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is, in my opinion, the best-looking foldable of them all. Its confident corners, skinny frame, subdued camera bump, and stylish finish, especially in the blue version I reviewed, look exquisite. On paper, it drops very few balls with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite power, a huge 200MP primary camera sensor and the best cover screen of any Samsung Fold-Series phone to date.

On closer inspection, it becomes clear the Z Fold 7's battery isn't huge, its secondary cameras miss a few tricks – most notably a periscope telephoto – and, as I'll come onto, the phone isn't as powerful or good at dealing with heat as I wish it was. It's also the first Galaxy Z Fold in generations to ditch the S Pen, making it one of the few current-gen foldables with no pen input options available.
