Overview

• Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 secured 1.04 million preorders in Korea during their first week, the strongest start yet for Samsung’s foldable line
• At just 8.9 mm thick and weighing 215 g, the Fold7 is the slimmest and lightest model in Samsung’s foldable portfolio
• YouTuber Zack Nelson’s JerryRigEverything bend and dust tests confirmed the Fold7’s hinge and inner display remain intact under stress
• Owners report difficulty opening the ultra-thin Fold7 because strong magnets and narrow edges leave too little surface to grip, prompting some to add anti-slip skins and pads
• Samsung has introduced a one-year free replacement for the inner-display protective film and locked bootloader access to protect device integrity
