Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Exclusive First Look!

[@nupe8888]

Glad it FINALLY has a wider outer display, but with NO INTERNAL S-PEN it's a real deal breaker for me!!

[@okeyezeilo6187]

Suggests its S pen will have no capacity for air actions...

[@GbMuthu]

But what's wrong with a s-pen that's part of the pouch? Genuine question.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Please don’t go girl !!!😂

[@okeyezeilo6187]

@GbMuthu The one that fits in the pouch is a basic S pen which can do air views and air commands but cannot do air actions. To do air actions, you need either the S pen pro, which is too big to fit into any pouch, or the built-in S pen.

[@420hotbox36]

It's not a big deal. There are hundreds of cases out there that let's you store an s-pen.

[@Displays.1234.]

Unless it's far bigger it's a complete waste of time

[@cloudxenogear]

If it's have Fold SE size that's more than big enough. further bigger will be uncomfortable

[@chewie8]

Agreed. I have the new Pixel fold which is a fantastic phone and full size screen

[@johngoti4674]

A brick

[@420hotbox36]

​@@cloudxenogearfor you sure.

[@philiposbourne3038]

Oh god, not another one doesn't get it?

[@scpk7366]

Currently I'm using the Z Fold 5 when the Z Fold 7 release I might upgrade.

[@65jbenzo]

Samziessss

[@InConsulting]

No build in s-pen, I'll stick with the ultra till then.

[@GKnowStuff]

Still not having the S Pen housed inside of the phone is a huge con still. I have not paid for an upgrade since the Z Fold 3 from my old Note 10+. I hold out until I see major upgrades that separate a new model from my current one.

[@420hotbox36]

There's hundreds of cases out there that let's you store an s-pen. It's not a big deal

[@GKnowStuff]

@420hotbox36 Those are cases. It is a huge deal for a lot of users, which is why they receive a lot of reviews regarding it. Consider this one of those reviews. Others can try to argue different points, but it doesn't change the feedback for those who truly care about the quality of these aspects. If we don't speak up about it, then we won't get heard. This is my humble opinion and my feedback on the matter subjectively. Nonetheless, it's one of the various reasons I haven't upgraded in years. Just letting others hear it from another Samsung Galaxy Fold user. 👍🏼

[@420hotbox36]

@@GKnowStuff you walk around with a $1800 phone with no case? Good for you

[@GKnowStuff]

@420hotbox36 I actually get really strong cases for my Fold. However, you seem to be missing context. I'll put it simple. There is no case that solves this problem.

[@RalphyDee]

I just upgraded from the 5 to the 6 & as much as I love this phone & I'm never going back to a regular phone, I expected the 6 to be larger. My complaint is the keyboard. I have big fingers & I run into misspelled words frequently every time when texting because of it. I'm looking forward to that Samsung roll out screen that looks awesome...

[@TxChristopher]

Same complaint I have, the outer screen keyboard is just too tight and I end up making tons of mistakes texting. I want a Z fold that has an outer screen the same size as my Note 9 was and the inner can end up whatever it is as a result.

[@alexcummings779]

I have the exact same issue. I thought the 6 would have much better results from 4, but hopefully, the 7 will be better.

[@miszrianne]

Looking forward to s pen support on the outer screen.

[@sherrodhenderson521]

He'll yeah

[@panl22]

It looks wonderful! The wider aspect ratio is what I want most. The cameras and thinness don't matter at all to me compared to the screen quality and size. Hope the colors are beautiful, too. 🙂

[@hc3868]

Either this is the z fold 6 ultra that's about to drop in December in Asia or they will be using the z fold 6 ultra and calling it the z fold 7 for worldwide release.

[@Pulpdood]

I think you're talking about the Z Fold Special Edition that already launched in South Korea a few days ago

[@timwindsor03]

Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend.

[@bartsimpson7424]

So same cameras as in fold 3,4,5,6 😅😅😅😅😅. That's why I moved away from Samsung.

[@420hotbox36]

Yet you're still here lol. Bye!

[@tiffaneygeier]

Do we finally get S Pen Support on the cover screen?

[@CastroJordan]

The render is beautiful. I would love for Samsung to not worry about making it thin. Going a little wider would be cool, but any gain in space should be added battery capacity and possibly an s pen.

[@MarcoTooFly]

We must be getting a Fold 7 ULTRA also. If they’re making the cover display on 8 inches on the Fold 6 SE, I doubt they would make it smaller on the Fold 7 ( if that was the one model). I’m expecting a Fold 7 Ultra with an 8 inch display also.

[@Nogleet]

Yay it's nearly perfect 🎉🎉🎉

[@jzda1slabrider852]

Wider outer display ✔️..1tb ✔️ ..I can deal with out n internal s-pen ..I'm love it so far

[@markbalki]

So glad I never got the 6. Getting the 7.

[@suvanshgupta8079]

It's really scary how boring Samsung made this epic technology!

[@muhammadzain1945]

The cover screen should be bigger 6.7 internal screen 8 would be perfect . Plus 5k battry plus 60w or 70w super fast charging

[@arifhussain5846]

If no internal pen on next samsung fold 7 then I'm not upgrading 😢

[@mahershtat6029]

The major problem with the current Zfold 6 design is the outer screen very narrow aspect ratio , samsung must change it to match there Chinese rivals.

[@sheryljackson1242]

The outer screen is perfect for one-handed use. If I need something larger I open it.😉 I hope Samsung does not give in to all the pressure to make a large wide front screen. Most of that pressure is coming from people who have never used a folding phone. There are plenty other manufacturers making phones in the larger form factor for people who don't want to purchase a Galaxy fold.

[@TomerShemesh]

I'm not seeing Samsung keeping the same design. Fold 6 sales are on an all-time low, so much so that they have recently lost their lead in the foldable market. People keep mentioning the same issues every year: display sizes, camera quality, battery size, and the price. Each year, the competition increases, and samsung lacks behind immensely when it comes to hardware. If Samsung won't make a drastic change with the Fold 7 and release yet another more polished Fold 2, their sales will plumit as people will reach for other brands. I believe that the Fold SE is like a trail run for the Fold 7. They wanna see if it sells well if they actually give consumers what they ask for. If you ask me, either the Fold 7 is going to borrow the design of the Fold SE, or we are going to see a regular and and an SE version of the Fold next year, but the SE will be available worldwide. I dont see a point in releasing a lessened version of the Fold globally each year while keeping the version with all the upgrades consumers have been asking for, exclusive to Asia. It's probably just a one-time thing

[@darrenwilliamson7944]

If the front display screen isn't wider (not a measley 6.3 to 6.4 either)I'm gonna pass and likely move on to a different phone. Been a ZF owner since inception but enough is enough.

[@mohimrahman2889]

No Internal Spen

[@thegrandmasterwizard]

The phone needs to be two S24 ultras side by side, needs to be that big

[@jayteknica1175]

For all those wanting wider outer display... Why not just get one of the many other folds currently on the market. Why try to take away form factor options? If Samsung makes the fold 7 as wide as the others then wide is the only option in the market.. might as well get s25 ultra at that point.

[@sheryljackson1242]

Exactly this!

[@KeyLimeKue]

I like to see this have an edge style phone on the Fold7. Can the outer screen be wider as it's longer, the inner part, i guess the same. Now, if we had a sidekick style, a phone similar to the slide version with a digital keyboard. If they can put a pen on the tablet, they can do it for a phone. I have an S22Ultra. The S25Ultra looks good right now.

[@Bryen12]

This channel leaks really awesome

[@igortosic3129]

4500mAh battery 💀

[@yourfavouritespace]

I just bought fold z 6 and i can’t use it for using sound option here on KZbin 🤦‍♀️

[@truckergod]

I mean the fold 6 fe got a 200mp camera so space isn't the issue. Like Samsung just slapping the biggest markets in the face and giving the good stuff to China and their own country. 😢

[@TheBigkal201]

Scew the s pen i dont want that in my phone lol im sure most agree 😅

[@saqibmunir7609]

If it doesn't have a major camera update then bs I'll skip until they have the same cameras as the ultras

[@sureshcelestin9611]

If its slim even when folded then am buying it

[@GbMuthu]

An 8" 2/3 flip phone is what would bring functionality to foldable devices. A single display without the camera notch, single battery and single set of camaras will make it far less expensive. Samsung showcased this concept years ago but still wouldn't make one.

[@youtubeaccount9808]

Have a Fold 4 and been wanting to upgrade the last 2 years but there was ZERO incentive to upgrade. I wish they would get over their obsession of trying to make this as small as possible and include an S Pen slot. The rationale that they are not including an S Pen slot because few people use it is asinine because how do you expect people to use an S Pen when there is no pen slot! And I don't want to buy a hideous bulky cover to carry then pen. They need to release a Fold PRO version with: S Pen slot Larger battery Best camera available Larger screen and I don't care how thick it is or how heavy it it is. Just need the functionality.

[@Mellowmar]

...didn't write JUST get the fold 6??? Like I'm not even done with the fold 5 😭

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

Hey theres no dot in middle 😮 !!

[@BrAnDoN67k]

8 hen 4? You mean the 8 elite

[@fastattacktough688i6]

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4? ......maybe Snapdragon 8 Elite?

[@amybrennan113]

I have the 5 looks exactly the same so why they do this

[@metv1221]

What I don't understand is how the S24Ultra has all-around better specs howbeit in a smaller form factor... if ZFold7 doesn't have everything from S24Ultra with 6.5" & 8" displays ... nobody should buy it... I do mean everything spec wise, but with 45w super-fast charging. Like what is the issues with getting all the S24Ultra into ZFold6 body let alone SE size I recently upgraded to the ZFold6 from the ZFold3, I was trying to hold out to the ZFold7 but ZF3 was starting to undone itself 😆... but boi is the well worth the upgrade 7yrs of updates supposed too. I'm waiting for spen integration w/front cover & inner displays support, plus 4750mAh-5000mAh minimum battery. Right now nothing else is warranted from Foldables for me...

[@tttechnology]

its mainly due to physical limitations, and cost management. Things like a periscope camera become harder because of less internal space available, and the phone is already very expensive so they do everything they can to reduce that. as for the fast charge i'm assuming there must be some technical reason or its a cost issue

[@metv1221]

@tttechnology I appreciate the response. Listen, I've been around too long to accept excuses... I have the ZFold6 now,.. only for the 7yrs of updates I carry two phones daily, my 2nd phone it galaxy note 10 6.3" model because it's the smallest size note in the spen integration family. ZFold6 has twice the space as note 10 6.3"... I had the note 10+ traded it in way back for ZFOLD3... had fold 3 till last month. They do not move the needle much. Now, again, I know how R&D teams work, and I fully comprehend technology. If you go just watch the teardown of ZFOLD3, not a ZFold6, ZFOLD3, and compare the teardown to the S24Ultra, you'd see all the reasons Samsung has no excuses. You can't tell me the shell frame on ZFold6 is worth 1000 dollars alone. Maybe $200-$400 max new hinge included, same battery 4yr running same cost 100max, same Camera 100 max, go look at what it cost to buy the replacement pairs... main display may cost 100-200 max, but none of this to mass produce in production line. Now S24Ultra cost $1299 256Gb/$1419 512Gb/$1659 1tb. The price hike is mainly storage. These companies are greedy and know many don’t know what it costs to make these things. R&D development costs far more than mass production of the final product. This is why I repair my own devices. Labor man hour fees have got crazy high. They charge a 2-hour flat labor fee for 45mins max Labor... plus shipping cost is included in Labor, so they say the shipping is free. This is how the company ship for free now. ZFold6 is plenteous in space to include all the S24Ultra spec! Links for teardown to see camera and battery and spen and what can be achieved if Samsung make it just like ZFold6 7.6" size but make slightly wider, and not thinner Like 8" SE model If you don't comprehend the Schematics of Engineering, you won't see how they are not giving customers better kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3icipKPa7N7jZIsi=m-2507RDboM15MNr kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3q7apl8rc-epcksi=Vc_5vTYiWvPuHvEA

[@ZFold6iXXX-SilverShadow1TB]

Already have the ZFold6... Not interested in any more Folds, unless there's something major.

[@tonyorob]

So both of it's displays will be smaller than the ones of the Z Fold 6 SE that China, South Korea and India will soon get? ...If so I'll wait to see what the Fold 8 will bring. 🙄

[@dmcdgames2388]

Screen needs to be 6.5 inches

[@Amm0B1lal]

it will not get the snapdragon 8 gen 4 but it will get the snapdragon 8 elite

[@mr.increediblle7964]

If Samsung keeps the battery at 4500mah, i would be highly disappointed. Samsung needs to figure out how to bring down the prices, it is one of the major reasons why people are not buying it

[@Dolkistan]

I don't believe these leaks. I think the fold 7 will be a fold 6 se with newer chipset, s pen support and bigger battery.

[@tttechnology]

there would be no point in the SE if it was the same as the fold 6 SE

[@Dolkistan]

@@tttechnology I think they are looking at the reception of the fold FE and go with that new form factor. But heey, no sources. Just a simple guess.

[@CastroJordan]

The SE will be 9 months old when the 7 is released, I too believe it will be sinilar to the SE but improved on. Giving us the same device that was released 9 months prior wouldn't be a good look.

[@inmortal009]

why such a big phone what is their excuse to not include a headphone jack

[@Andy-si1pl]

Haha I noticed that on z flip 6. I think they are pushing us away from those old headphones. Use a usb-c of Bluetooth headphones

[@chankonmon6206]

I hope z fold 7

[@DuTch_-0-]

They better add the 200mp camera and make it just like the SE otherwise Samsung is dead in the folding industry. You can't give is the phone that everyone has been wanting(except built in Spen) and only sell it in Korea and China and not release a global version with the ZF7. As far as cost goes that's BS because it's already proven with the SE edition.

[@valeriedeuser]

Why can't they make a side button to open the fold up rather then prying it open each time. Maybe hydraulic opener. ??

[@SYL7Tube]

😂

[@Exxxxxxtremelotus]

The hinge design is already a single point of failure that's still being worked on that we worry too much about. We don't want another. I don't wanna have to worry about the hinge and the Hydraulic designs

[@beverywhereyouare]

So basically nothing.

🥱 All thesse reviewers worried they wont get invited or free phones. Underscreen cameras suck. Samsung is the apple of android.... its a dinasaur . Honor magic V3 is better in every way

[@balaarunachalam970]

I bought a Samsung Fold4 for £1440 ($1900) in the UK. After 18 months, still in its warranty period, the hinge stopped working and the phone stopped opening up fully flat. When I sent the phone to Samsung for warranty repair, I got an email from an unknown repair shop asking for £600 to repair it saying that a cosmetic scratch on the outer cover of the phone voided the warranty on the hinge which is nowhere near the scratch and they planned to change for screen and battery even though I hadn't asked. It seems Samsung had sent my phone with all its data to a 3rd party dodgy company without my knowledge and now that dodgy company started sending me ransom mails and text messages asking for £600 to return my phone. It took me 2 weeks and many calls to Samsung to get phone back unrepaired. RIP OFF! SCAM! DON'T BUY ANY SAMUNG FOLD PHONE, they are very expensive yet very cheap in quality. BETTER YET, DON'T BUY ANY SAMSUNG PRODUCT.

[@BUZZYBUZZIE]

Watse of money plain and bland but I guess a lot of people will still buy it

[@Displays.1234.]

Rounded corners look cheap and nasty, AI a complete waste of money.. nothing but fake software

[@OneeHitt]

Google pixel 9 pro fold is way better , also it's American made. The front cover screen feels like an actual phone it's not super narrow and the pixel fold is also thinner than the Samsung z fold so again it gives you a more normal phone feel. I've had both and I really liked the way the Samsung z fold fit in my hands but the Google pixel is just on another level especially if you consistently use the phone while closed. The Google phone is bigger open and closed but there is a little more of a black bar on the top and bottom of videos but the actual video itself on the phone is the same or the Google is barely a bit bigger. And when games are compatible with the entire unfolded screen, they are bigger on the Google phone due to the bigger dimensions of the phone.

[@Varun.000]
