Samsung’s new foldables may look like minor upgrades on the surface, but give them a closer look and the changes add up — enough to finally catch up with what Oppo and OnePlus have already been doing design-wise. Thankfully, Samsung’s finally in the same league again. And of the two foldables they’ve launched, I’m leaning strongly toward the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.
To be honest, I haven’t been a fan of the Galaxy Z Flip lineup so far — it always felt like it was trying too hard to milk nostalgia without fully embracing what a modern foldable should be. But the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first one in the series that actually delivers on the idea of being a compact, usable, foldable phone. It took six generations to get here, but it’s finally here. And that makes the bigger Fold 7 a hard pass for me.
