Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7

[Dave245]

I’ve been doing some research into the Fold 7 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, both seem to have advantages and disadvantages. I’ve still got an about a week before deciding IF I’m going to get either one. Samsungs deal of the Fold 7 for £935, trading in my S24 Ultra plus 25% off with Samsung week will end fairly soon.
I’m not sure which one i should go with, or just wait and see what Apple will offer with their first iPhone Fold.

I just thought i would ask you guys in this thread, why did you choose the Fold 7 over the Pixel 10 Pro fold and what do you believe are the advantages it has over Google’s offering?

Some of the points I’ve been thinking about are:

It would be my very first Foldable EVER.

I don’t play games on my phone, i have a PS5 and Xbox X for that (when i manage to get the time)

I do take a lot of notes on my phone (when i don’t have my Mac with me)

I love taking pictures, especially at the beach. I’m also looking into photography as a hobby (when my time permits outside of working) and so the best camera i can get would be helpful.

I do value battery life, to at least get me thought the day

I watch YouTube on my iPad but I’m looking to move away from my iPad because iPadOS 26 is a mess in my opinion

With Samsungs current deal (as mentioned above) the Pixel 10 Pro Fold would cost more by about £200 when trading in my S24 Ultra.


Any opinions and help would be appreciated

- expect to actually not like the "foldable" at first. After 2 days, I felt like it was too much and went back to my Ultra. Glad I gave it another try though. I'd say it took me about a month to get settled in and appreciate it. Definitely think about how often you would have it unfolded collared to folded. That's huge. If you're going to have it folded 80% of the time, it might not be for you.

- the 200mp main camera is great. Combine that with Lightroom for editing and you can that professional looking shots. I'd still say if you're looking to use a phone for a photography hobby, stick with the S25 Ultra though because you have the better telephoto lens.

- This phone gets me through the day but I'm always around chargers. The lack of 45w charging does kind of suck but if you've never experienced that fast of charging, it probably won't be a huge deal to you.

- Watching YouTube is great on this phone. I leave it unfolded and sitting on a charging stand all day and I usually have YouTube playing music videos or who knows what else while I'm working.

- I say just pull the trigger. Even better if you have a 30 day return window.

Get the Galaxy Fold 7. I’m a Pixel 10 Pro Fold user myself and I love it and prefer it over anything from Samsung but that’s mostly attributed to my preferences and less on objective benefits. The P10PF does have a few objectively better features/benefits such as slightlyl better battery performance, durability in regards to dust/sand and water as well as built in Qi2 magnets but otherwise IMO, it falls short vs. the Fold 7.

The Qualcomm chip performs much better than the tensor, especially in multi-core usage, the cameras are better save for optical zoom reach, and the size and weight of the Fold 7 are why you choose that foldable. And considering you already have a propensity for using other Samsung hardware and its UI, the Fold 7’s software experience will probably be more enjoyable for you. Plus, £200 extra savings….

I love my P10PF and wouldn’t personally switch to the Fold 7 but again, that’s largely attributed to my personal preferences. I think you’d be much happier with the Fold 7.
