Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 hands-on review

 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7

Over the last few years, Samsung has been feeling the market pressure to radically overhaul its Galaxy Z Fold to be able to compete properly with the challengers from China. And this year, with the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung finally delivers.
Samsung made its big foldable thinner and lighter, gave it a serious camera system (for a foldable anyway), and most importantly, made it usable while closed. Let’s get into the details!



The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the company’s thinnest and lightest Fold yet. At just 8.9mm when folded, it’s 26% thinner than the 12.1mm Fold6. Even more impressive, at just 215g, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is 24g lighter than its predecessor, and is even lighter than the 218g Galaxy S25 Ultra. At only 0.7mm thicker when folded, the Z Fold7 isn’t far off the S25 Ultra in girth too.

Samsung also finally gave its Fold a serious camera system. Gone is the under-display selfie camera, replaced by a regular 10MP sensor. On the back, the main camera is the same 200MP unit in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Edge, while the 12MP ultrawide has autofocus and macro capability.

The biggest upgrades, and quite literally, are the displays. The cover screen has grown by 0.2-inch to 6.5-inch and is now wider, with a regular 21:9 aspect ratio (vs 22.1:9 on the old phone) so it no longer feels like you’re using a Hershey Bar phone. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X has all the bells and whistles you’d expect - an LTPO 1-120Hz refresh rate and mighty brightness. The folding screen is also bigger at 8.0-inch.e with high-end rivals such as the vivo X Fold5 and Honor Magic V5 - something Galaxy faithfuls have been demanding for years now.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

Moving to the Galaxy Z Flip7. Like the Fold, the new Flip made displays the priority. Both the cover and the inner screen grew compared to the Galaxy Z Flip6. The cover screen is the biggest upgrade - at 4.1 inches, it is bigger even than the one in the Moto Razr 60 Ultra. It’s a major jump up from the 3.4-inch unit on the Z Flip6. But even more so than size, the screen is now 120Hz and bright at 2,600 nits. Inside, the screen has grown to 6.9 inches - the biggest on a Z Flip device ever.

Continuing that thread, this is the thinnest Galaxy Z Flip ever. At 13.7mm when folded, the new Flip is 1.2mm thinner than its predecessor. When you unfold the Z Flip7, it’s 0.4mm thinner at 6.5mm.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Model Numbers Spotted, No Plus Variant

 Samsung has been in the news a lot in recent weeks. Just yesterday, the company launched its new foldable Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, among other products. However, the rumor mill continues to swirl, and the firm’s next flagship mobile phones are already showing signs of life. In a recent development, the model numbers for the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup have been spotted by a certification body. The most interesting aspect seems to be the potential absence of a “Plus” model for 2026. For years, Samsung’s top-tier S-series phones have generally followed a predictable pattern: a standard model, a “Plus” variant, and a super-premium “Ultra.” But as new model numbers for the Galaxy S26 begin to surface, there’s a glaring omission: where’s the Galaxy S26 Plus? Samsung Galaxy S26 model numbers leave out the S26 Plus Database listings (spotted by SammyPolice) from GSMA currently show three devices. There are model numbers for the core Galaxy S26 (SM-S942), a distinctive Galaxy S2...

Poco F7 review

  Introduction Poco has officially unveiled the new Poco F7, positioning it as a strong contender in the value flagship segment—right where it belongs. As the successor to the widely praised F6, the F7 stays true to Poco's playbook: delivering blazing performance and sleek design without the flagship price tag. Over the years, the F-series has become synonymous with exceptional performance for the price. Remember the trailblazing Poco F1 from 2018? Successive models like the F3 and F5 carried that legacy forward, packing top-tier chipsets and high-refresh-rate OLED displays. The F7 picks up the baton, positioning itself just above the X-series while undercutting Xiaomi's own premium killers - all with the trademark confidence that has come to define Poco. With the Poco F7, you get a Snapdragon 8-series processor (the S variant, but still technically a flagship chip), a vibrant 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a dual-camera setup promising everyday excellence. All of this comes wrappe...
