Our hands-on review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

As we mentioned earlier, we were lucky enough to get hands-on time with the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 two days before the Galaxy Unpacked event, and here are our thoughts.

The first thing that struck us is just how thin and lightweight the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is; the foldable smartphone's dimensions come in at 8.9mm closed and 4.2mm open, making it 26% thinner than its predecessor.

We're also continually impressed with the generative AI features that Samsung implements, such as Circle to Search, which does exactly what its says on the tin: users can Google search by circling, highlighting, or tapping on anything displayed on screen, Enhanced Generative AI on photographs, where Samsung suggests how you should edit your photos (such as removing photobombers), and Gemini Live, which allows users to have a real-time, conversational interaction with Samsung's Gemini AI assistant.
