Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 boast significant design improvements, prioritizing thinness and lightness. The Fold 7's slimmer profile (8.9mm) resulted in compromises like omitting the S Pen and under-display camera, decisions Samsung defends as necessary trade-offs. Improvements were made to the hinge and display, resulting in a lighter and thinner device despite a larger screen. The Flip 7 features a larger battery within a slimmer body. Samsung confirms ongoing S Pen research for future Fold iterations, suggesting a potential return. Pre-orders are open, with shipping starting July 25th.
