I tried the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it made my every other phone feel outdated

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2026-01-31 14:18:00

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Has Samsung finally done it? As a foldable phone enthusiast, I've been asking myself that question throughout the month leading up to Unpacked, where the company today pitched its newest shape-shifting handset, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Within a second of the phone's unveiling, the answer was a resounding yes. But I didn't need the roar of the crowd to tell me that.

Confirmed: Samsung’s tri-fold device is ready to go, so why can’t you buy it yet?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-31 18:16:27

TL;DR A Samsung executive has told Android Authority that Samsung’s triple-screen or ‘tri-fold’ foldable is ready to go into production. The executive says Samsung was investigating whether there was consumer demand for the form factor. This comes after a report that Samsung could launch the device in just two markets in Q4 2025. Samsung has been working on a triple-screen foldable phone (or tri-fold, to use the misleading but popular moniker) for a while now. It teased the device at the Gala

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is here, and it’s one of the thinnest foldables to date

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-31 23:00:28

TL;DR Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable phone at its Unpacked event. This is the lightest book-style foldable phone on the market, and among the thinnest ones too. Expect to pay $1,999 when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 goes on sale. We’ve seen several slim book-style foldable phones in the last couple of years, but Samsung has largely refused to follow this trend for its mainline Fold models. Fortunately, that changes today as the company has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung

Live Updates From Samsung Unpacked 🔴

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2026-02-06 18:07:26

New Samsung foldables and wearables are coming on Wednesday, July 9. The tech giant is throwing a summer “Unpacked” event in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, to announce new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and refreshed Galaxy Watch smartwatches. Teased last month, we’re expecting “Ultra-worthy” design and tech specs that will—hopefully—wow consumers into paying top dollar for phones with screens that bend in half. What does Samsung need to finally impress?

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it’s about

This crazy thin foldable embarrasses the Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before its launch

Honor TL;DR HONOR has launched the Magic V5 and claims it to be the “world’s thinnest foldable.” The Magic V5 beats the OPPO Find N5, which previously held the thinnest foldable’s title, and will also beat the Galaxy Z Fold 7, given the latter’s rumored thickness is true. The biggest drawback of the HONOR Magic V5 is its limited availability and the low probability of its coming to the US.

Xiaomi is also offering a portable camera kit, which combines a camera grip with a photo printer. Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in a couple of weeks, and we’ve already got a rough idea of what to expect. What if you want more impressive Flip phone hardware, though?

We’re also learning about the foldable iPhone’s dual 48MP rear cameras for the first time.

Foldables are far more brittle than traditional phones, and that’s a problem when you’re spending between $1,800 and $2,000 on a single device.
