Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuted the biggest redesign the book-style folding phone line has seen thus far. The new phone has a body that's slim enough to feel like a standard phone when closed and unfolds to reveal an 8-inch display. This reimagining also comes at a higher $2,000 price, making it easily the priciest phone of its category compared with similar offerings like Google's $1,799 Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Google's folding phone was also notable for being a redesign over the prior Pixel Fold. This included a 6.3-inch external display that is similar in size to the standard Pixel 9 Pro and unfolds to provide access to its own 8-inch display. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold runs on the Tensor G4 processor, the same as the rest of the Pixel 9 line. However, the 9 Pro Fold does change up its camera setup from the standard 9 Pro, by featuring a 48-megapixel main lens, a 10.5-megapixel ultrawide, a 10.8-megapixel telephoto and 10-megapixel selfie cameras on both the cover and inner screen.
Samsung's new Fold phone also runs on the same processor as the Galaxy S25 line, featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. It also borrows from the Galaxy S25 Ultra by including a 200-megapixel main camera alongside a 12-megapixel ultrawide, 10-megapixel telephoto and two 10-megapixel selfie cameras across the cover and inner screen. Samsung's new Fold is about 0.5 inches (1.6 mm) slimmer than the Pixel when closed, and 0.03 inches slimmer when open.
