The biggest change is that Samsung finally introduced a 200MP camera lens on this model, bringing its camera performance more in line with flagship Galaxy phones.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung also added a bigger display, slimmed down the overall design, while also offering a similar level of battery and performance power you&#8217;d expect from non-folding phones. Plus, it includes all the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/ai\/the-7-new-ai-features-coming-to-the-galaxy-s26-and-the-one-im-most-excited-about\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/ai\/the-7-new-ai-features-coming-to-the-galaxy-s26-and-the-one-im-most-excited-about\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/ai\/the-7-new-ai-features-coming-to-the-galaxy-s26-and-the-one-im-most-excited-about\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">best features from Galaxy AI<\/a>, which is not something a lot of other foldables can claim.

Cost is the main one, and even with $400 off, you&#8217;re still paying considerably more than you would for a non-foldable phone. There&#8217;s also no S Pen support, with Samsung removing the hardware needed to use its stylus on the Z Fold 7. Considering the size of the foldable screen, that stylus could have come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJ2YlhObmRXbGtaUzVqYjIwb0FBUAE\" id=\"elk-408c1203-36f0-40b6-8462-a3b5f142d80e\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJ2YlhObmRXbGtaUzVqYjIwb0FBUAE\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:43.07%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WwrSHXAT2Ha8hDCF8TKMVc.png\" alt=\"Click to follow Tom's Guide on Google News\"   loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WwrSHXAT2Ha8hDCF8TKMVc.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WwrSHXAT2Ha8hDCF8TKMVc.png\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-df077480-df2e-4f8c-855f-e07ab107a393\">Follow<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJ2YlhObmRXbGtaUzVqYjIwb0FBUAE\" data-url=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKAgKIiJDQklTRXdnTWFnOEtEWFJ2YlhObmRXbGtaUzVqYjIwb0FBUAE\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Tom&#8217;s Guide on Google News<\/a> and<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=tomsguide.com\" data-url=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=tomsguide.com\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
