Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Slimmer, lighter, better in (almost) every way

<h2>The Galaxy Z Fold 7 combines refined hardware with large, vibrant displays and smooth multitasking. It offers strong cameras and long software support, though the premium price&nbsp; may influence your decision.</h2>

When I reviewed the Galaxy Z Fold 6 last year, I walked away somewhat underwhelmed. It wasn&rsquo;t a bad phone, but it felt like yet another incremental upgrade. &nbsp;
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 changes that. It feels like a proper smartphone &mdash; one that just happens to unfold. Samsung&rsquo;s seventh-generation foldable is now lighter, slimmer, and easily its most impressive effort yet.
The ₹1,74,999 price tag is its biggest hurdle, but if you can stomach it, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 delivers an experience unlike anything else.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Design &amp; Build</h3>
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung&rsquo;s slimmest and lightest foldable phone to date. When folded, it measures 8.9mm and unfolds to just 4.2mm thick. At 215g, it feels lighter in the hand than any Fold before it, and the difference is immediately noticeable. &nbsp;&nbsp;
For context, it&rsquo;s now lighter than Chinese rivals like the Vivo X Fold5 and Honor Magic V5. It even undercuts the Galaxy S25 Ultra in weight and feels slimmer than many traditional flagships when closed. That&rsquo;s impressive for a device that still unfolds into a massive tablet.&nbsp;
The hinge has been reworked too &mdash; it&rsquo;s rounded off and glides more smoothly than before. There is, however, a touch of stiffness when unfolding. It feels deliberate, likely to improve long-term durability, but it&rsquo;s still something you notice.&nbsp;
The slimmer frame also makes it harder to slip my finger between the gap to open the phone. This became even more obvious when I tried the Vivo X Fold5, which is slightly thicker but noticeably easier to unfold.
Additionally, the phone has sharper corners this year, and the camera bump sticks out more than before. As a result, it wobbles excessively on flat surfaces.&nbsp;
Another side effect of the slimmer desgin is the removal of S Pen support. For power users, the loss of this signature productivity tool might sting, though for many others, it&rsquo;s a feature they likely wouldn&rsquo;t have used anyway.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s debatable whether the trade-off is justified, but there&rsquo;s no denying that the Fold 7 is one of Samsung&rsquo;s most beautifully engineered devices yet. When closed, it resembles a sleek glass slab with ultra-thin bezels framing its expansive cover display . S
Samsung has also refined the frame, using its stronger Advanced Armor Aluminum to make it more durable than before. For protection, the back uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2, while the front gets a tougher Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 &mdash; a noticeable upgrade over last year.
The Fold 7 also holds on to its IP48 rating, which means it can keep out dust particles larger than 1mm and handle being submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes.&nbsp;
The rear glass has a smooth matte finish that does a decent job of keeping fingerprints at bay. This year, it comes in three shades: Blue Shadow, Jet Black, and Silver Shadow. The Blue &nbsp;unit I tested strikes a perfect balance between subtle and striking.&nbsp;
On the right side, you&rsquo;ll find a compact volume rocker and a power button that doubles as a fast, accurate fingerprint scanner. It also serves as a quick shortcut to trigger Gemini if you enable it.&nbsp;
Along the top edge, you get a speaker grille, several microphones, and a SIM tray that supports up to two nano SIM cards. The bottom edge packs in a second speaker, more microphones, and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer.

<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Cover &amp; Inner Displays</h3>
Two displays are the bare minimum you get with a foldable, but for years it felt like Samsung figured out the inner screen while treating the outer one as an afterthought.&nbsp;
The Z Fold 6 and earlier models didn&rsquo;t have the best track record here. The cover display was far too narrow, and typing on it felt cramped and awkward. That&rsquo;s no longer the case.
The Fold 7&rsquo;s larger 6.5-inch outer screen, combined with a new 21:9 aspect ratio, gives it a noticeably wider footprint and makes typing far more comfortable. It&rsquo;s still a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 2,520 x 1,080 resolution, LTPO tech for a 1&ndash;120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness that now tops out at 2,600 nits.&nbsp;
For the first time, the outer screen doesn&rsquo;t feel like a compromise. I could comfortably use it for quick replies or scrolling without needing to open the device.
But with the knowledge that there&rsquo;s now a massive 8-inch display (up from 7.6 inches) just one unfold away, I often found myself opening the Fold 7 to watch videos, check my emails, and review documents. That&rsquo;s the magic of a foldable done right.
On the specs front, the inner display remains as impressive as ever. It&rsquo;s a Dynamic AMOLED 2X LTPO panel with a resolution of 2,184 x 1,968, peak brightness of 2,600 nits, and an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. However, there are two important changes worth noting.
First, Samsung has replaced the under-display selfie camera from the Z Fold 6 with a punch-hole cutout near the top of the right panel. This does break up the uninterrupted look of the screen, but like most punch-hole cameras, it quickly fades into the background during everyday use.
Second, the crease is nearly non-existent. You can still spot it when the display is off, but while using the phone, it&rsquo;s far less noticeable, and you can barely feel it when scrolling, which is a significant achievement.
Together, the outer and inner displays deliver a seamless experience. Both are sharp, vibrant, and bright enough to handle anything you&rsquo;re doing, whether indoors or in direct sunlight.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Cameras</h3>
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs a triple rear camera setup with key upgrades. The main wide camera jumps from 50MP to 200MP, borrowed from the S25 Ultra, bringing a noticeable boost in image quality. The 12MP ultrawide now supports autofocus for detailed macro shots, while the 10MP 3x telephoto remains essentially the same.
In day light, the main camera takes excellent photos &nbsp;with &nbsp;good dynaic range. The phone still tends to oversharpen things, but colors are vibrant. Images are captured at 12MP by default but for those who want to maximize resolution, you can select the phone's full 200MP mode . At night, the Fold 7's shots remained surprisingly sharp with &nbsp;accurate white balance.&nbsp;
The 3x telephoto lens delivers noticeably sharper and clearer shots than before, though image quality starts to drop once you push past that optical range.
Portrait shots come out well too, with accurate edge detection and a pleasingly soft background blur, especially when using the 3x telephoto lens. The ultrawide lens is the weakest of the three. It&rsquo;s decent for landscapes but suffers from visible edge distortion.&nbsp;
As for the front cameras, both the inner and outer displays use 10MP sensors that deliver detailed, good-looking selfies. The 10MP punch-hole camera on the inner screen replaces last year&rsquo;s 4MP under-display sensor and takes noticeably sharper looking shots.
Video quality on the Z Fold 7 is the best I&rsquo;ve seen on any foldable so far. Footage is crisp, vivid, and detailed, and watching it back on those large, high-res displays feels especially satisfying.
Samsung&rsquo;s new ProVisual Engine also steps things up with always-on 10-bit HDR+ for richer colors, improved contrast, and better subject focus. The phone can shoot in 8K at 30fps, but I preferred sticking to the smoother and more practical 4K at 60fps.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Performance &amp; Battery</h3>
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 delivers flagship-level performance without breaking a sweat. It&rsquo;s powered by Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage for blazing-fast read and write speeds.&nbsp;
In day-to-day use, the Fold 7 feels as fast and fluid as any Snapdragon 8 Elite device. It handled heavy multitasking with ease, keeping dozens of Chrome tabs open and multiple apps running without a hitch.
The device stayed cool under normal use, only warming slightly during demanding sessions of Genshin Impact &mdash; and even then, performance remained consistent with no signs of throttling.
Of course, all that power means battery life becomes even more important. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 still relies on the same 4,400mAh &nbsp;cell as the Fold 6.&nbsp;
In a three-hour streaming test over Wi-Fi, running the main screen at full brightness, the Fold 7 dropped from 100 percent to 82 percent. That&rsquo;s a slight improvement over last year&rsquo;s Fold 6, which hit 78 percent in the same test, likely thanks to the improved efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Still, battery life here is decent, not exceptional.
Charging speeds don&rsquo;t do much to impress either. The Fold 7 supports up to 25W wired charging and 15W wireless, which feels underwhelming for a 2025 flagship.
It gets to 50 percent in about 30 minutes with a wired charger, though you won&rsquo;t find one included in the box. As with other Galaxy devices this year, it&rsquo;s Qi2 ready but lacks the built-in magnets for attaching accessories like wireless chargers or battery packs.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Software &amp; AI</h3>
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuts with Samsung&rsquo;s latest One UI 8 on top of Android 16. It&rsquo;s also backed by a promise of seven years of OS and security updates, which is one of the best software support commitments you&rsquo;ll find on any phone right now.&nbsp;
One UI 8 brings a wave of refinements and new features to Samsung&rsquo;s core apps. The Calendar app now splits Events and Reminders into separate tabs for smoother navigation.
My Files gets a redesigned Categories section with refreshed icons, while Reminders sports a cleaner layout and updated visuals. Even the Gallery app adds a Private Album for sensitive photos along with a subtle icon refresh.
The Fold 7 also brings back all the signature multitasking features that make Samsung&rsquo;s foldables stand out. Flex Mode lets you prop the phone up and use it like a mini laptop for hands-free tasks. DeX mode transforms it into a desktop-style interface when connected to a larger screen.&nbsp;
The Edge Panel offers quick access to your favorite apps and app pairs, while a persistent dock ensures your most-used tools are always within reach. You can run up to three apps side by side, with a fourth floating on top as an overlay for even more productivity.&nbsp;
AI is front and center on Samsung&rsquo;s latest phones, and the Fold 7 is no exception. Gemini Live gets a serious upgrade this year with real-time visual search. Using AI Mode, you can point your camera or share your screen and let Gemini analyse what&rsquo;s in front of you. It can offer outfit feedback, break down what you&rsquo;re seeing, or even help you interact with on-screen content.
Circle to Search has been improved too. You can now use it mid-game to get quick tips or learn more about characters and enemies without leaving the action.
One of the handiest new additions is Side-by-Side comparison in generative editing mode. As the name implies, it lets you view a photo next to its original while making changes, so you can compare edits in real time with zero hassle.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Verdict&nbsp;</h3>
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 isn&rsquo;t just Samsung&rsquo;s best foldable yet. It&rsquo;s the first one that feels like it&rsquo;s finally living up to the promise of this form factor. It&rsquo;s slimmer, lighter, and more polished in ways that matter.
The wider cover screen makes it feel completely natural to use when closed, while the expansive inner display has become my favorite way to watch movies and juggle multiple apps. Best of all, Samsung didn&rsquo;t sacrifice camera quality to get here.
That said, it remains a wildly expensive phone, and the lack of S Pen support could disappoint longtime Fold users. Battery life and charging speeds also leave room for improvement. Still, even with those caveats, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 feels like a huge leap forward for Samsung &mdash; a foldable that finally lives up to its big ambitions.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Review: The small flagship that still delivers

Galaxy S25

The Galaxy S25 may look unchanged, but beneath the surface, there&rsquo;s more going on. With AI features, top-tier performance, and subtle refinements, is it quietly brilliant or playing it too safe?

The Galaxy S25 Ultra may be the star of Samsung&rsquo;s lineup, but for most people, the smaller S25 is the smarter choice. Sure, some say it&rsquo;s more of the same, but with new Galaxy AI features, a compact design, and one of the best chipsets of the year, the S25 strikes a great balance between power and simplicity.&nbsp;
<h3>Design &amp; Display</h3>
The S25 sticks to a familiar design, featuring a 6.2-inch display, triple rear cameras, and a premium glass-and-aluminum build. It remains one of the most compact flagship Android phones, standing out in a market where devices like the Pixel 9 keep getting bigger.&nbsp;
The bezels are slightly smaller, but only by a fraction of a millimeter&mdash;nothing you&rsquo;d actually notice. It&rsquo;s still a well-built phone that lets Samsung&rsquo;s excellent display shine, but at this point, high-end smartphones are starting to look eerily similar.&nbsp;
Speaking of the display, the S25 sticks with the FHD AMOLED panel and 120Hz refresh rate from the S24, along with the 2,600 nits peak brightness. It&rsquo;s bright, vibrant, and feels incredibly smooth when scrolling.
<h3>Performance</h3>
The S25 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip&mdash;at least in India, where there&rsquo;s no Exynos this time, which is a welcome change. Samsung also gets a special "For Galaxy" edition, though the only difference is a slight overclock by Qualcomm to justify the branding.&nbsp;
Performance is buttery smooth&mdash;apps, games, and the interface all run flawlessly. The phone does get a bit warmer than the S25 Plus under heavy loads, but not by much. The smaller size means it can&rsquo;t dissipate heat as effectively, which is why Samsung added a 15% larger vapor cooling chamber&mdash;and for the most part, it does the job well.
<h3>Battery &amp; Charging</h3>
The Galaxy S25 sticks with a 4,000mAh battery, 25W wired charging, and 15W wireless charging&mdash;the same as last year&rsquo;s S24.
Battery life isn't too bad for a smaller phone. I averaged 5&ndash;6 hours of screen time across two days, while heavier users can expect just over six hours in a single day before needing a recharge. With a Samsung 25W charger, the S25 hit 56% in 30 minutes&mdash;decent, but not as fast as some Chinese rivals.
<h3>Cameras</h3>
Let&rsquo;s talk cameras&mdash;because this part feels overdue for an upgrade. The S25 sticks with the same 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto setup that hasn&rsquo;t changed much since the S22&mdash;and it&rsquo;s identical to last year&rsquo;s S24.
That&rsquo;s not to say it&rsquo;s a bad system&mdash;photos come out consistently good, with improved 2x zoom and a reliable 3x telephoto, though it lacks the reach of 5x zoom rivals. The ultrawide is solid but brings nothing new. Video remains sharp, portraits look great, and there are plenty of modes&mdash;except macro, which is still missing.
A new tool for video creators is Samsung Log, a recording format that makes color correction and exposure adjustments easier. You can apply a color profile on-device, but keep in mind Galaxy Log files are massive, so it&rsquo;s not ideal for everyday use.
<h3>Loads of AI</h3>
AI is once again the big focus for Samsung&rsquo;s Galaxy S25 lineup, but most of the new features haven&rsquo;t felt all that essential. Google&rsquo;s Gemini has replaced Bixby as the default assistant when holding the power button&mdash;a welcome upgrade&mdash;but oddly, Bixby is still hanging around. It can tweak phone settings, but having two assistants feels redundant. Why not just let Gemini handle everything?
And honestly, Gemini is impressive. It can pull details from your screen and take action without extra taps. Need to book a meeting? Just ask, and it&rsquo;ll add the event straight from an email. Planning a trip? It can gather flight details, suggest hotels, and even draft a message to your travel buddies&mdash;all with a simple command. Whether it's summarizing a long article or pulling directions from a photo of a billboard, Gemini feels like a true AI assistant, not just a voice-activated search tool.
The other big AI upgrade is Now Brief, a lock screen or home screen widget that compiles info from various apps into a quick, AI-generated digest. It can include sleep scores, news, photos, and commute times, but the depth of insights depends on your notes, events, and connected devices.
Other AI tools make everyday tasks easier&mdash;natural language search in Gallery and Settings, AI Select for editing parts of a screen or video, and Audio Eraser to remove unwanted sounds.
Unlike Apple&rsquo;s rollout of Apple Intelligence, every Galaxy S25 AI feature is fully available at launch&mdash;no waiting required.
<h3>Software</h3>
The software experience on the Galaxy S25 series isn&rsquo;t just about AI&mdash; One UI 7, Samsung&rsquo;s Android 15-based interface it brings a fresh design with smoother icons, revamped menus, and smarter layouts.
Notifications and quick settings now have separate windows, Samsung&rsquo;s default apps get a cleaner look, and larger home screen folders let you access apps directly.&nbsp;
The biggest change is Now Bar&mdash;a dynamic widget at the bottom of the lock screen for quick access to live activities like navigation, sports scores, or media playback. Inspired by Apple&rsquo;s Dynamic Island, Samsung&rsquo;s take is more flexible, letting you flick through multiple full-sized widgets instead of being limited to one at a time.
Samsung also promises seven years of OS and security updates, keeping the S25 series supported until 2032&mdash;matching Google&rsquo;s Pixel for the longest Android update commitment.
<h3>Price &amp; Avaialibilty&nbsp;</h3>
The Samsung Galaxy S25 starts at Rs. 80,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the 12GB + 512GB variant costs Rs. 92,999. You can find it on Samsung&rsquo;s online store, Amazon.in, and other major online and offline retailers.
<h3>Verdict</h3>
The S25 is a great small phone, but it&rsquo;s another year of small refinements rather than big changes.
That said, it&rsquo;s still the best compact Android flagship around. Where competitors keep getting bigger, the S25 stays refreshingly light, thin, and easy to hold&mdash;without sacrificing screen quality. The switch to Qualcomm&rsquo;s new top chip brings a noticeable performance boost, and Samsung&rsquo;s AI tools show promise.
For those wanting the smallest high-end Android that&rsquo;s actually good, the S25 is the one to beat.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ walks the fine line between premium and practical. With top-tier performance, AI-powered software, and a stunning display, it feels like a flagship without the Ultra’s baggage. But does ‘Plus’ truly mean better—or just bigger?

Samsung Galaxy S25+ Review: The Perfect Middle Child?

Editorji News Desk

Samsung Galaxy S25+

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ walks the fine line between premium and practical. With top-tier performance, AI-powered software, and a stunning display, it feels like a flagship without the Ultra&rsquo;s baggage. But does &lsquo;Plus&rsquo; truly mean better&mdash;or just bigger?

Samsung has dropped its latest flagship lineup, and the Galaxy S25+ is sitting right in the middle of the pack&mdash;offering premium features without the Ultra&rsquo;s hefty price tag. But is it worth your money, or should you just go for the regular S25? Let&rsquo;s break it down.
<h3>&nbsp;Design &amp; Build: Sleek, Slim, and Surprisingly Light</h3>
At first glance, the Galaxy S25+ might look like an identical copy of its predecessor, but Samsung has made some subtle changes. aiat is slimmer than before at just 7.3mm thick and weighs only 190g. That makes it noticeably more compact and easier to hold, especially compared to some of the bulkier flagships out there.
The phone features completely flat metallic rails with a premium glass back and front, making it feel sleek and modern.
However, while the glass back looks stunning, it&rsquo;s a smudge magnet. If you hate constantly wiping fingerprints off your phone, you might want to slap a case on it.
Samsung has also refreshed the color palette this year. The Silver variant we tested looks elegant&nbsp; but there are other vibrant options to suit different styles.
And, of course, it&rsquo;s still IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, so accidental spills or quick dips in water won&rsquo;t be a problem.
<h3>Display: Samsung Flexing on the Competition Again</h3>
If there&rsquo;s one area where Samsung always dominates, it&rsquo;s displays. The Galaxy S25+ rocks a stunning 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Everything from scrolling to gaming feels ultra-responsive, and the 2600 nits peak brightness makes it even better for outdoor use. HDR content looks phenomenal, with deep blacks and punchy colors that make movies and games pop.
Haptics are also excellent, with precise vibrations that add to the overall premium feel.
<h3>Performance: Samsung Ditches Exynos (Finally!)</h3>
For years, Samsung&rsquo;s Exynos chips have been hit-or-miss, but this time, they&rsquo;ve gone all-in on Snapdragon across all markets. The Galaxy S25+ is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy&mdash;a custom-tuned version of Qualcomm&rsquo;s latest chip.
Geekbench scores show that the S25+ excels in multi-core performance, even beating the iPhone 16 Plus.&nbsp;
Whether you&rsquo;re playing Genshin Impact at max settings, jumping between multiple apps, or editing videos, the S25+ handles it effortlessly. And thanks to a 15% larger vapor cooling chamber, it stays cooler under heavy loads.
Daily use is just as smooth, with fast app launches, seamless multitasking, and zero lag. Combine that with the 120Hz refresh rate, and you&rsquo;ve got a device that feels incredibly fluid.
<h3>&nbsp;Software: One UI 7 &amp; The Power of Galaxy AI</h3>
The S25+ runs on One UI 7, based on Android 15, and Samsung has really refined the experience this time around. It&rsquo;s fast, intuitive, and more polished than ever.
A big reason for this is Galaxy AI. Now in its second year, Samsung&rsquo;s AI-powered features actually feel useful rather than gimmicky.
Circle to Search makes looking things up effortless&mdash;just draw a circle around anything on-screen, and Google Gemini will fetch relevant info.
Note Assist helps summarize long notes, extract key details, and even translate text in real-time.
I'm also a fan of the new Now Bar feature, which lets you keep live activities running at the bottom of the lock screen while controlling your music app without unlocking the phone.
Samsung has officially replaced Bixby with Google Gemini. Long-pressing the power button now brings up Gemini, which is miles ahead of most smartphone assistants when it comes to answering questions and handling requests.
Samsung is also promising 7 years of Android updates and security patches, so the S25+ will stay fresh for years to come.
<h3>Battery &amp; Charging: Solid, But Could Be Better</h3>
The S25+ is packed with a 4,900mAh battery, which is a slight upgrade from last year. In real-world usage, it easily lasts a day and a half with moderate to heavy usage.
In our battery test (3 hours of YouTube streaming over Wi-Fi at max brightness), it dropped to 86%, which is impressive.
With 45W wired charging, the S25+ goes from 0 to 100% in about 70 minutes. That&rsquo;s not as fast as&nbsp; many other flagships out there.
Wireless charging is still capped at 15W, but there&rsquo;s Qi2 support this time, which enables better magnetic charging&mdash;if you buy a compatible Qi2 case.
<h3>&nbsp;Cameras: A Familiar Setup, But AI Boosts Make a Difference</h3>
On paper, the S25+ has the same triple-camera setup as its predecessor:
50MP main sensor 10MP 3x telephoto 12MP ultrawide
But don&rsquo;t let the unchanged specs fool you&mdash;Samsung has improved image processing with better HDR, sharper details, and more natural skin tones.
Daylight shots are vibrant, with excellent dynamic range. Low-light photos have less noise and improved shadow details. Zoom performance is solid, with the 3x optical telephoto delivering crisp results, even at 10x zoom.
Portraits look great, though Samsung still leans towards punchier colors rather than realistic tones. Selfies are crisp and detailed, though Samsung&rsquo;s processing can sometimes exaggerate colors (my green hoodie looked turquoise).
For video, the S25+ shoots 4K 60FPS with impressive stabilization, and there&rsquo;s even 4K 60FPS Log recording, which is great for those who like to tweak footage in post-production.
<h3>Final Verdict: Should You Buy the Galaxy S25+?</h3>
The Galaxy S25+ is priced at ₹99,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant. If you&rsquo;re looking for a balanced flagship with a premium design, top-tier display, long software support, and AI-driven features, the Galaxy S25+ is a fantastic choice. It offers better battery life, a larger display, and faster charging than the regular S25 while keeping a more reasonable price than the Ultra.
However, if you prefer a smaller phone or want to save money, the regular S25 still gives you most of the same experience, just in a more compact package.
