Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 - 5 New Updates

[@SmoochyRoo]

It's all in this pursuit of thinness, honestly anyone buying the z fold isn't interested in a thinner device if that thinness comes with trade-offs that involve taking away very beloved features.

[@Sardonmaximus]

Anyone who has a fold and doesn't want a thinner and lighter fold isn't using one daily. I have my ZF5 and use it alot for my work (Furniture maker) and i just want it to be a bit thiner and lighter and have better dust protection. Maybe it's just me, but i think people over value the S pen. Never used it on my old S21 Ultra or on the TAB S7+. Didn't even buy it for the Fold, even tho my job is drawing furniture and taking notes. But i would trade a thinner phone for a slightly bigger battery for sure.

[@Nyonibjr]

I don't believe that, everyone wants it to be thinner, if you don't it's not your main phone. We all want innovation

[@davelogan5955]

I'm with you. I've been waiting to buy a Fold, I just want three things out of it. My order is: 1- Little to no crease (the current creases would drive my OCD crazy) 2- Top of the line Camera 3- An S Pen. I currently have a Pixel 6 Pro and I added a case that brings the back of the case level with the camera because I can't stand the look of the pixel and it feels terrible to hold. I have no issue with slightly thicker phones at all, if it gives me what I want, and I would mostly be using the Fold in tablet mode anyways. I have big hands so super thin phones are uncomfortable and honestly a bit terrifying to handle. Though I could see people with medium-small hands not wanting a thicker phone.

[@Rolexenforcer]

This guy is talking out of his booty, literally everyone wants their foldable to be thinner. I have Z Fold 6 and Honor Magic V2 and V3, V2's only weakness was it's cameras but they corrected that problem with the V3, the Honor Magic V3 is way thinner than the Z Fold 6 and has a way bigger longer lasting battery than the ZF6. The problem with Samsung is that they are way too comfortable and no longer innovating. Also, while the Magic V3 is 25 percent thinner than the ZF6, has a way larger battery it also has 50 watt wireless charging while the ZF6 only has 15 watts lol

[@SmoochyRoo]

@@Rolexenforcer I specifically said no one wants thinness at the expense of loved features, not that no one wants their phones to get thinner, 3 people under my comment section lacked reading comprehension. The honor devices you mentioned as having aspects superior to the fold 6 LITERALLY have stylus support, so what is your point exactly?

[@AmirRoosta]

60% of the reason I bought my Z fold 4 was because of the S pen support on the inner screen. I was planning to switch to the new version this year, but the lack of S pen support would definitely be a deal breaker for me

[@Carbon_Ziro]

Looks like I'm holding onto my ZF4 till 2026

[@malman_is_boiiii]

What drew you to that phone?

[@suvanshgupta8079]

Same. Samsung is being shit lately.

[@MrPoliarinis]

I will i did that. But got fold 6. Which is ok, but not worth the money

[@darrenholder8653]

Same lol I'll keep fold 4 until

[@AvnerTouitou-y8h]

Oppo n5 with 8 elite and 6000 mah 😊

[@vimalramachandran]

I don't think they will launch Fold 7 without S pen support. It's still early days for Fold 7 rumours, and the info is likely to change.

[@ShadoHHR]

I can only hope the Fold arrives with the digitizer ... otherwise it's back to an ultra

[@DemirY-j7w]

I dont think removing the s pen support is smart because z fold is a productivity based phone and the s pen is a big part of that

[@BuuWhuu]

Makes sense to not have it cause the screen is weak and ppl prob damage the screen with it

[@DemirY-j7w]

@@BuuWhuu no it wont it is on the older z folds but there isnt really a problem samsung just wants to be as thin as it gets but I dont think that this is that smart

[@BoundlesslyExceptionalRadiance]

The s pen scratches the main screen

[@heavyhauldude9914]

I daily drive the fold 6band the 5 before that. I use it for work everyday... I have literally NEVER used the spen... I see absolutely no use for it...

[@Jo02829]

I never use the pen

[@baltazargonzalez6221]

Cant wait for fold 7 to be released, if it doesn't provide S-Pen compatible, I will definitively leave the fold series, I love the S-pen, been a fan of it since the NOTE phones, pls Samsung make us happy

[@jjlatinopedia]

No

[@jamesgana3837]

Look forward to the Z fold 7. Thanks for keeping us up to date

[@TechTalkTV]

Glad I could help

I have the Fold 4 but I won't buy any other Z Fold until the Spen is integrated, I am not seeing any improvements

[@TechTalkTV]

Fingers crossed the new tech is ready for the next model!

[@izhamsham843]

Same. I have been holding onto my Fold 3 hoping for just two of my wishes that an upgraded Fold has 1) bigger battery, and 2) integrated S-Pen slot. So a few weeks ago my F3's inner screen gave up the ghost so I am saying goodbye to Samsung (for now) and after careful consideration, looking to buy the Honor Magic V3 to replace it come January 2025. You snooze you lose Samsung.

[@jkensler20]

I have the fold 6 and the biggest upgrade to me was the width of the outer screen. For me it makes the outer screen much more usable

[@e2U]

No pen support, i'm moving on. I use the pen all the time and it's saved me so much time. I got the first Note and will go to another provider if they eliminate this feature for sure. I sure hope they. provide the pen support with a pen inside.

[@CyberUnboxingOfficial]

What is you use of the S Pen ? Writing? Drawing ? Photo editing ? (Just to know)

[@ShadoHHR]

​@@CyberUnboxingOfficial- no spen makes no reason for chunking out the money for a fold ... I use the spen for keeping notes, editing photos, and doodling if nothing else, and would be lost without it 😮

[@CyberUnboxingOfficial]

@@ShadoHHR okay 👍🏽

[@T0NYMANUEL]

Samsung should include the digitizer and make one with built-in Spen even if it makes the device more expensive

[@TechTalkTV]

Absolutely! It’d be disappointing if the Fold 7 lacks S Pen support, especially after all the emphasis on it with the Z Fold 6. Fingers crossed the new tech is ready in time!

[@mczougames1114]

Spen support? Seems like you want a thick fold....you should get 2 S ultra and use them together lol

[@morm2173]

Honor magic v2 Porsche and v3 proved it can be done

[@eliyamil117]

Please don’t remove the spen!!!!!! I use it a lot for notes taking. I don’t mind to see the fold line but please don’t remove the s-pen

[@gidi1951]

no S Pen end of fold for me,

[@Forever.Remain.Nameless]

No way I can leave tht screen for a S Pen🤷🏽

[@sparky1570784]

Facts. I never cared about styluses in the past with slat phones or even tablets for that matter but I find I'm using the pen all the time on my zfold 3 for writing out my timesheets, create drawing & sketches for work and even some games. There's more but you get the point and now I can't have a folding phone without it. When you think of the lesser of the two inconveniences which is more logical, that bulky 0.06mm or lack of s pen. It's a no one cares about shaving a 0.06mm off a phone we all use bulky cases anyway folding or not.

[@Juank05]

Lol

[@ShadoHHR]

ya .... same here for me

[@franquil85conn]

Ive been holding onto my fold 3, waiting for samsung to get it together and include a built in spen and they decide to DO AWAY WITH IT ALL TOGETHER?!?

[@JR-qx6qe]

Bring the S pen!!! Ain't no point having this big screen without the built in pen.

[@thatonebeone]

Still using my note 10 😊

[@farishakim6759]

Need to upgrade to s21 ultra at least....you'll have the One Ui 7

[@thatonebeone]

@farishakim6759 yeah but at this point I'm kinda over it with phones and new os.. I need something that folds with a s pen

[@morm2173]

Get the honor magic v3 import from wonda mobile

[@roderickkong8841]

I used my Note 10+ until I changed to the Fold 4, it was the perfect phone for its time. Hopefully the Fold 7 has a better aspect ratio and works with spen on the inner and outer screens.

[@morm2173]

@roderickkong8841 yes I pray Samsung copies honor for the fold 7 or makes 2 versions one w camera and one w stylus both screens

[@Starlesslemon]

Bro the special edition is twice the price of the already most expensive phone on the NA market. I have a fold 6 and I promise I wouldn't have waited for the 6SE if it was released here.

[@Keeng9ine]

I love samsung phones but they are damn expensive here in Africa

[@Mathew-g4q]

Just switched from iPhone 14 to zfold 6. Best phone I've ever had. Front screen may be a little small but it's big enough to do what u need on it. And still access all the good apps. Love it probably not going back to Apple or regulat style touch screen phone. Maybe the samsung roll phone,?

[@djhellraiser303]

I read from a reliable source it will support the pen on the main and front display on the 7, as well as an underscreen cam on both displays.

[@dix_pack_of_sixie]

Losing the s pen is the deal breaker

[@BensTechTube]

I wouldn't say it's EVERYTHING! If Samsung ditches the S PEN, I DITCH SAMSUNG!!! 😮‍💨🤨😡0:34

[@jeep128]

Lol this is the screen you want to write on

[@jeep128]

Samsung should stop rushing their phones and get them right and put them out

[@MrAAgabriel]

Yep.

[@rashsoni7262]

So basically its gonna be little tweaked Z Fold SE with the name Z fold 7

[@ArshadhkgdMon-q3j]

hi

[@__SGB__]

Ikr so lazy

[@mcdhensleyable]

Currently have a ZF6 & love it. This is my first foldable phone & ive had it since launch.

[@basitsiddique69]

Hi Sal, can you please bring back the old sound on your future video contents? I was glad to hear it towards the end in this video. This sound has a unique signature to your videos!

[@jrbees929]

I really want to Ave the S-Pen capability. I might have to avoid the Fold 7. Thanks Sal!

[@TechTalkTV]

Fingers crossed the new tech is ready in time!

[@Evan-SkyeMilborrow]

Minimum 4800mAh battery. Higher capacity is welcome, but nothing less than that.

[@nicholasnalle4152]

Love ur videos

[@TechTalkTV]

Much appreciated👏

[@dubrpanda1636]

Im on zf5...might get the 7 or 8

[@MDTALKIES]

Amazing video ❤❤

[@peacemaker9807]

Well no pen , no buy lol.

[@danielcatherall5664]

I still think Samsung should have called this the V Fold and kept the Z Fold name for a tri-folding handset

[@HiddenMis7]

I'm still on the fold 4 and what I don't like about these newer fold models is that the screen and bezel looks more squarish than it does around rounded I'm sure some fold users know what I'm talking about. My biggest issue with with fold 4 is definitely the battery life. Max 4 hours on full charge

[@brendanfogel4573]

I wouldn't mind the z fold 7 being even bigger than the se. They better keep the udc imo though unlke on the se. Improve on the udc dont get rid of it

[@pixelgaming7261]

And to make matters worse, the selfie camera is still 4MP. The Z Fold 2 had a 10MP inner-screen selfie camera. If they are not going to bother with the UDC then give it the same 12MP AF shooter as the regular bar phones.

[@brendanfogel4573]

@pixelgaming7261 yeah somethings samsung does just doesn't make sense

[@amarjadhav5340]

Love from India 🇮🇳

[@shinigami1320]

I feel bamboozled with my new fold 6. Luckily I purchased during a sale for $900 with no trade in.

[@LeonCamero]

Nah, zf6 is not bad if you didn't jump from the zf5 or zf4. But I may be skipping the zf7 if there is no spen support.

[@Bitplex]

Lame. The smaller footprint on my 6 is the perfect size. Glad I won't be tempted to upgrade next year now.

[@efrainperez6234]

So is the fold 4 good? So i can stay with it lol.thinking about upgrading

[@tylergarrett1093]

ive had a fold since 2018 and never ysed the s pen functionality, i like the design choice bc it fits my use case

[@kyhassen]

Im glad i dropped my z fold 4. I got the P9PF and absolutely love it. Hinge is not as durable but the rest of the phone is durable and a enjoyable phone.

[@MariuszPelcPL]

I have never been a fan of the Fold series and now if Samsung is going to get rid of the digitizer I am even less interested. They can't sort out the crease issue (yes, to me it IS an issue, some other manufacturers who started later their foldables adventure have already provided much better screens) and they remain deaf when it comes to voices saying that the screen ratio (especially the narrow cover screan) is far from perfect. Adding to this the digitizer related decision and we have a phone costs a fortune while it is providing less and less features...

[@brendanfogel4573]

The se crease is basically unnoticeable

[@Rolfthewild]

This is interesting.. If 2026 comes with the s pen support and stays with the overall bigger screen and better cameras I might swing from the ultra series to the z fold series though I do love my s23 U.

[@supradpaudel4421]

[@mariokartfan8784]

Hi Sal 👋 Have a Great Day :)

[@TechTalkTV]

You too!

[@jameson2shots]

Currently a S23 Ultra user and was looking to get the ZF7 cause of the bigger screen. But with no SPen support, it breaks my heart. Can't carry both phone and tablet together. I don't mind having a thicker phone for that digitizer. We're all putting cases on these phones anyways so why are all phones getting thicker?

[@localguy123]

Flip series is something that interests me but the price puts me off. Maybe in the future when my S23 dies off, i might consider it

[@zephaniahharrison5171]

i got a fold 5 and i'm disappointed, should i trade in and get a fold 6/7 or go for the s24 line?

[@samlung2724]

I don't think the SE was a mistake, i believe they were just testing the waters to see if a bigger fold will be received well.

[@abatstone31]

I've legit been waiting for a zfold with a built in spen slot since it first came out.. it's the only reason why I haven't switched from my s22 ultra...

[@chetangoel6204]

No S pen for fold, that means people will have more fold phones options from other brands as well

[@pixelgaming7261]

0:51 Actually it's just called the Z Fold SE, not the Z Fold 6 SE.

[@FrancisSyCoCo]

I'm gonna stick with my s24U for a while now, probably phone of the year for most youtubers out there..my s24U finally is performing topnotch, because since February, my s24U has been heating up a lot. I dunno what I did that it finally fixes the heating and now its in topnotch condition . ALL i can think of is, ever since I bought a new charging cable, a 240W, my phone's issues stopped.. prior to this i am using an anker 100W adapter.. its weird 😅

[@baylor3894]

Yeah the S24 Ultra is a beast I traded it in for the Z Fold 6 but it's still a great phone

[@TechTalkTV]

Glad to hear your S24U is working great now!

[@tigsik3128]

I love my fold 6 my first fold phone. Ill be holding on to this bad bois for years

[@TruthOne313]

I just switched to the google fold because, i feel the form factor is a lot better, but its only been a month and i really wanted an S pen, im looking at the fold 6 for my next phone, but again the candy bar closed screen is just dumb.

[@danedrimmer]

Wait how many people acutely use an s pen on thier fold?

[@Yielar1]

I'm actually ok without the spen as long as it has everything the SE has and more. I don't use the spen much with my S24 Ultra tbh

[@James92TSi]

It needs S-pen and under-display camera. To me, the hole punch and no S-pen are both steps backwards. Users can always turn off the pixels in front of the under-display camera (using good lock) if they want to see a black spot... but users who want an uninterrupted screen are left out if they change to a hole punch. It would be cool if they produced a ZF6-sized device as ZF7, and a ZF6SE-sized device as ZF7+. Give people choice of which size meets their needs. Samsung would never... but it'd be cool if they did.

[@TannerSchlo]

I am just windering if they have solved the internal hinge error where after 2 years your internal screen will just break making a black like down center rendering the internal screen useless

[@cylon6]

The Z fold is a phone that needs an S pen.

[@Ali-Hassan-Sandhu]

What about bettery size same as last year 4400 mah? It should be near 6000 mah.

[@pixelgaming7261]

Only the vivo X Fold 3 Pro and Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 come close at 5,700mAh and 5,750mAh respectively but both are thicker than the Z Fold SE. I think though that 5,000mAh at least is what we need.

[@yaboirairai]

I've had an S23 Ultra for almost 2 years and have used my S pen like 5 times. What do you guys use it for??

[@ronbrooks6547]

But if they go then and ditch the s pen support then forget it.

[@manolisvitakis-te5ub]

Amazing my favorite smartphone is the fold

[@bojay_b]

I'm slightly disappointed because the SE has a number of things better than the 6 (like it's bigger) and I ordered my 6 a week after it came out

[@lance4862]

This is a wholly based on the Galaxy Fold SE. I'd like to know where they have concrete information that Samsung is going to be making the phone any thinner lighter or have a better camera for the fold 7. I would be perfectly happy with the fold 6 SE if they would offer it in the US. Unfortunately my carrier told me it won't work here otherwise I'd get it from China.

[@randy1773]

I still have fold 2 lol. Works great.

[@AndrewMage]

Samsung plays the serial annual upgrade game. They tease smallish upgrades like breadcrumbs, so that users buy / upgrade annually. To their detriment, they allow competitors to leapfrog with much better specs and innovation.

[@Toastee92]

Cant have a fold without the s pen lol

[@Studycat_art]

Me too, I use it for studying at my university. It would be horrible without a s pen 😐

[@zapp8994]

It was honestly a huge blow when the zf6 came out the only upgrade was the AI software u get on a regular system update plus the shape of the phone as their mindblowing introduction 😂 for that sticker price on the zfold6 not worth the upgrade im hoping on the new up and comers to compete with samsung and apple & make brand but function popular again

[@arevir68rivera]

No S-Pen? No, thank you.

[@TechTalkTV]

I agree, it would be a big miss if it didn’t have an S Pen.

[@clarakhong1148]

when will they release a fold with sd card slot 😭

[@Nyonibjr]

The Z fold line has many users seeking different thints, some don't need the S pen, some do, some don't care about the thickness some do. I feel for Samsung. I think it's better they create another fold with no compromises besides thickness

[@LeonCamero]

The fold line is supposed to be their "top of the line phone" compared to the s series. If they don't want some features, you don't have to use it.

Honor or huawei should make a foldable with a PEN slot... and have an app with an option to port our S-NOTES across devices

[@discover1114]

The z fold 7 better have s pen support for inner screen because thats a big feature it has i love using the s pen for my fold 5

[@Beth-El]

If its not going to have spen support its not worth buying then. I upgraded from the fold 5 to the 6 due to samsung trade in deal and im content. If the fold 7 is not going to have a digitizer to support an spen then i think many will hold out for the fold 8 which will absolutely fine by me. I edit too much and use my spen to go without.

[@israelgonzalez6250]

Sal I have to regret about all the things I mention about the Z Fold 6. This phone is another story about the previous versions. I don't know if it is the few extra mm that were added but the phone is way better. Now the 7 I think is going to be a substitute of my S line

[@TechTalkTV]

You might be surprised at how much the extra few millimeters make a difference. I’m expecting the Z Fold 7 to be even better.

I have z fold 5. Plastic screen protector coming off and plastic part around the screen edges are coming off. Scared to buy another fold. Rather get a new note if they have one in future or galaxy. Other than the issues i discussed the fold is a great phone but i dont feel like repairing it once a year. Used to my phone lasting 4 years or more

[@frankk1358]

your choice on this idea. Same thing happened to me and I did research before ultimately removing the peeling screen protector. keep those nails trimmed, never leave the screen open when you are not using it and dont use alcohol based products to clean the screen. past 3 months, no scratches or blemishes. honestly it looks really good without the screen protector.

[@MrR4ge89]

Stupid not to include spen support. We already bought a big phone. Now make it the special mini folding tablet we have been looking for!
