If you are worried about how sustainable Samsung’s foldable phones can be, I’m here to tell you about being worried. And this is especially true when the new Galaxy Z Philip 7 is.
After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Philip 7, I mistakenly conducted my informal drop test. In a cater case in Brooklyn, I went out to get a water front view, and when I pulled Z. Philip 7 out of my pocket, I provoked it. I saw helplessly when Samsung’s latest foldable phone fell to the ground. When he shook against the concrete, because of the noise he made, everyone around me saw me with a compassionate expression, saying, “Oh, it’s a shame. Your phone is toast.”
This is a part of the story Samsung eventCNET’s collection of news, indications and advice around Samsung’s most famous product.
Have you ever dropped your phone? When you are desperate to see if the phone is saved, before you take it, the moment is like a sharednager cat.
Fortunately, the Galaxy Z Philip 7 was fine. 4.1 -inch core screen had no cracks or fights. The 6.9 -inch internal display was not damaged because the phone was off. Just that he kissed the ground, he was a small quarrel under the phone near the microphone. Samsung’s claim that his new “Armor Flex occupies” The effect is made to tolerate Really true
In the early days of foldable phones, the biggest unknown was their stability. It is surprising that almost six years later, the Galaxy Z Philip can be dropped on 7 concrete as it has landed on a velvet pillow. Now, I will still not take Philip 7 (or no foldable phones) on the beach, because it can only cope with particles that are 1 mm or more. So it would be okay to go to the conference factory, but the salt factory is not a definite number.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 thin design
When open, the Galaxy Z Philip is 7.5 mm thick and is 13.7 mm thick when it is closed.
The star of the Galaxy Packed event of Samsung was Galaxy Z Fold 7. When closing at 8.9 mm thick, the fold is thinly thin. The Galaxy Z Philip 7 looks like it has gone, but when it is closed, it is 13.7 mm thick. It is thin, but 7 does not add thin. Why not be super slim like a Plot 7 Fold 7? I just imagine a Galaxy Z Philip 8 that has a thin pin like fold 7.
For some point of view, here Flip 7 compares its clam shell to Confirm:
Galaxy Z Flip 7 Thickness vs Other Flip Phone
| Televocate | Bank | Open |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 | 13.7 mm | 6.5 mm |
| Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | 14.9 mm | 6.9 mm |
| Motorola Razr Plus | 15.32 mm | 7.09 mm |
| Motorola Razer Ultra | 15.69 mm | 7.19 mm |
| Motorola Razr (2025) | 15.85 mm | 7.25 mm |
Galaxy Z Flip 7’s large cover screen
There are three Galaxy Z Philip 7 phones in different colors.
The original Galaxy Z Flip had a small, 1.1 -inch tablet -shaped cover display. It was excellent at showing time but was very useless for anything. The feature specified on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is its 4.1 -inch cover display. The screen looks incredible. I was directly checking my information on the screen under direct sunlight and was able to read everything. To review the Galaxy Z Philip 6, I turned a Hangups into a cover display out of the inner screen. There will be hours of sunshine where, despite having no problem with the main screen, what could I barely make in the core display.
Samsung has extended the maximum brightness of Philip 7’s cover screen to 2,600 nets, which is like an internal display. Both screens are now at the top of 120 hezs, which wants to have a much more permanent experience by scrolling through systemic images, gameplay and social feed.
The 6.9 -inch internal screen is large, but when I use it, it doesn’t feel unnecessary. Philip 6 had a 6.7 -inch display, but on the screen of Philip 7, the extra 0.2 inches feels bigger than that, with my middle -aged eyes thankful.
In terms of functionality, the natural condition of the core screen is widget. And some, such as Spatif’s widgets, just need to be used for the use of complete apps. But I want apps on the home screen, so I need to enable this functionality and download this functionality in the Settings Labs section. It takes a few minutes in the setup, but I wish the apps with the help of the interface should be supported as default.
Camera of the Galaxy Z Philip 7
Z Flip 7 has a 50 megapixel camera with a wide angle lens and its cover screen has a 12 megapixel ultra -wide camera.
Philip 7 has three cameras: a 50 -megapixel wide angle, 12 megapixel ultra -wide and 10 megapixel selfie camera (in the central 6.9 inch screen). Camera flip and flip are just like 7 per flip. But the phones run on different processors, so differences or improvements in photos and videos (if there) will come from Samsung processing and machine learning.
So far some of my favorite pictures of the Galaxy Z Philip 7 are:
I grabbed this New York Skyline shot with a Main Camera set of Philip 7 on 2x. Highlights and textures in the clouds really make this picture pop.
This photo of CNET’s Tara Brown and Vanessa Hands was taken with the Main Camera of Philip 7, which did a good job of handling a combination of a warm front lighting and bright white back light with a mark.
The streets of New York look great at night after the rain, especially in the picture I took with the main camera.
I am a fan of ultra -wide cameras, and this is an example of Snap I took with Philip 7. I like the way Samsung’s ultra -wide lens is distorted and exaggerates the subject and looks more dramatic.
Here is another photo of the phone’s main camera, which is taken in the dimmed airline cabin.
Both of these shots are from the main camera. On the left, from behind me, was purely illuminated with sign mark. And on the right one occupies the structure and details of a large gelatu cone.
Galaxy Z Philip 7 final views for now
The Galaxy Z Philip 7 occupies about 30 30 % smaller than last year’s Galaxy Z Philip 6.
Samsung exceeded a large limit to its foldable line. And while the Galaxy Z Folder 7 feels like a different phone from the previous fold, the Galaxy Z Philip 7 looks like a good dispersion. I would say that only two days have passed with my phone. And as I am with a big cover screen, I’m excited to see how battery life measures.
Samsung flipped 7 a 4,300-MAH battery (compared to the 4,000-MAH battery of the Galaxy Z Philip 6), but I wonder if its Snapdragon 8 elite chip and the growing capacity will be met by the power needed for these large, bright display.
I have a lot of testing. But when I do my job towards a thorough review, I will now try not to leave 7.
