Incredible Thinness and Quality Highlighted in the Galaxy Z Fold 7
The much-anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7 is now available for purchase at amazon.de, marking the seventh generation of Samsung's innovative foldable smartphone. This device boasts significant design and display improvements while maintaining its impressive performance.
One of the most notable changes is the device's thinner and lighter body. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9 mm thick when folded and weighs a mere 215 grams, making it feel more like a standard smartphone in hand. The device's durability has also been enhanced, thanks to a Titanium plate layer and an Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) that is 50% thicker.
The cover display on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been upgraded to a larger 6.5-inch screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio. This makes it more practical for everyday use without the need to open the phone. The outer display features a higher FHD+ resolution, increasing pixel density to 422 PPI, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for better scratch resistance.
The main 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is 11% larger than its predecessor, offering more screen real estate for multitasking and content editing. This increase in size makes the Galaxy Z Fold 7 an ideal combination of smartphone and tablet.
Despite the larger screens, the battery life of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has hardly changed compared to its predecessor. Samsung prioritized other features such as thinner design, better cameras, and enhanced displays. The battery capacity of the device is 4400 milliampere-hours.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with the main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, offering up to 200 megapixels (MP) resolution and a bright f/1.7 aperture. The ultra-wide-angle and telephoto cameras on the back deliver solid results, with a 12-MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 10-MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
The device's robust hinge and frame have been strengthened with a more stable aluminum alloy. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 no longer supports S Pen due to its slimness, as there is no room for the Digitizer in the thin display.
Samsung is committed to providing long-term support for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, offering seven years of Android and security updates. Despite the performance increase not being immediately noticeable, it is expected to pay off in the future.
When used frequently and for long periods, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may require more frequent charging, especially in bright light conditions. The front camera is now located through a noticeable hole instead of being hidden under the display.
In conclusion, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers a significant improvement in design and display, making it more appealing and practical while maintaining its functionality as a foldable smartphone. Its combination of smartphone and tablet capabilities, along with its impressive cameras, make it an attractive option for tech enthusiasts and early adopters.
The Commission's proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation could be particularly relevant in the context of the Galaxy Z Fold 7's robust hinge and frame, which uses advanced technology, as this could potentially involve the use of materials that emit radiation. For those who prefer a simpler gadget, the Galaxy Z Fold 7's powerful features and large screens may seem overwhelming, making a smartphone with fewer technological advancements, like a basic smartphone or even a feature phone, a more attractive option.
