Overview

• Many users report that the Fold 7’s slim edges and powerful magnetic hinge provide too little grip for one-handed unfolding, with some demo units showing slight misalignment.
• Owners have adopted low-tech fixes such as applying grip tape or using lightweight cases to boost traction and simplify single-hand opening without obscuring the phone’s design.
• Samsung Display has confirmed that the Fold 7’s OLED panel endures more than 500,000 folds—a 2.5-times improvement over its predecessor—and holds up to 300,000 folds at 60 °C and 60,000 folds at –20 °C.
• Samsung India says unprecedented demand led to sell-outs in select markets and that ramping production at its Noida plant will replenish stock.
• The challenges highlight a trade-off in the Fold 7’s record thin profile that boosts portability but can compromise everyday usability.
