Detailed review of the Ultra Sleek 'super thin' design on the Galaxy Z Fold7

Design is always a factor that receives special attention on foldable phones, due to the difference in mechanics, materials as well as the feeling of use compared to traditional smartphones. Over many generations, the Galaxy Z Fold7 not only continues to make the overall device thinner and lighter, but also refines the hinge and materials to aim for more durability and practicality in daily use.

Đánh giá chi tiết thiết kế Ultra Sleek — Galaxy Z Fold7 has a slimmer, lighter design, and is more compact than other folding phones on the market today.

Besides the changes in configuration and software, the Ultra Sleek design is the highlight that clearly shows Samsung's shift from experimental technology products to devices that serve real needs.

Slim design isn't everything on the Galaxy Z Fold7

The hinge is always an important factor that determines the actual experience of folding devices, because it directly affects the durability, the feeling of operation and even the overall aesthetics. On the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung continues to develop the hinge mechanism called Armor FlexHinge, bringing clear improvements compared to the Fold6 generation.

The most noticeable is the ability to close much better than the previous generation. When folding the device, the two halves of the body fit tightly from the edge to the middle hinge, minimizing the gap that used to be a weak point causing dust and foreign objects to stick on the previous Fold generations. This not only improves the aesthetics when viewed from the side but also helps increase the durability of the inner screen, reducing the risk of light physical impacts affecting the hinge or panel.

The feeling of opening and closing the device is lighter, smoother, with a steady stroke, and no longer has a slight hesitation at 30-45 degree angles like on the Fold6. When folding the device, there will be a "pop" sound for a solid, decisive feeling. The new hinge structure uses a multi-rail system and harder materials to help distribute force more evenly during operation, minimizing deviation or slight shaking when fully opening the device.

Practical experience shows that users can open the device with two hands easily, the operation is more stable, no longer feels like the hinge is "too mechanical" like the first generations. When opening the device to a 90-degree angle, the device remains stable, does not automatically fall or vibrate, providing good support for FlexCam photography, video calling or using two applications in parallel in folded mode.

A plus is that the new Armor FlexHinge hinge also makes the device look more seamless when closed, eliminating most of the "uneven" feeling found in previous models.

Compact, durable, versatile and convenient display

In addition to the hinge, the screen is also a factor that Samsung has focused on significantly improving on the Galaxy Z Fold7, aiming for a more comfortable real-life experience for users. In this generation, the Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) inside is improved with a coating that increases the thickness by more than 50% compared to the previous generation. Although this change is not clearly visible to the naked eye, it brings a difference in the feeling of use.

When operating directly on the screen, the surface feels sturdy, clearly limiting the slight concavity when pressing hard that appeared on previous versions. Multitasking and editing content is stable, no longer worrying about the fragility of the inner panel. High brightness and good anti-glare ability help this screen maintain good visibility even when used outdoors, under strong light.

Another notable point is the ability to reduce the crease when viewed from a normal usage angle. Although the Fold7 still has a slight crease in the middle, the crease is not as easily visible as before, not causing discomfort when scrolling through content or watching full-screen videos. When combined with the new Armor FlexHinge hinge, the screen opens up to feel seamless, with no gap between the two halves, creating a more unified and refined whole.

New material feels solid in actual use

In terms of materials, the Galaxy Z Fold7 uses a new Armor Aluminum frame, Gorilla Victus 2 glass on the back, and Gorilla Ceramic 2 for the main screen. These changes make the device more scratch-resistant, easier to clean, and more resistant to light impacts during daily use. In fact, putting the device in a pocket with other items such as keys or coins does not affect the glass surface like previous devices.

The frame is well finished, the surface is slightly matte, sturdy, less dirty, giving a more secure grip. The beveled edges do not hurt the hand when operating for a long time, while also providing a consistent look with the overall minimalist design that Fold7 is aiming for.

With these changes, the Galaxy Z Fold7 has come close to meeting expectations of a foldable device that is durable enough for long-term use in a real working environment, instead of just stopping at showing off technology.

General assessment

The Galaxy Z Fold7 shows that Samsung has gradually perfected the foldable phone design experience in a more practical and suitable direction for daily use. The slim and lightweight Ultra Sleek design offers a clear advantage in terms of grip and mobility when moving, while the new Armor FlexHinge hinge makes the opening and closing operation smoother, more seamless and more secure than previous generations.

However, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is still more suitable for users who have a clear need for a foldable device, need a large display space and prioritize flexibility in use. The characteristics of size, two-handed operation and price also make this product more oriented towards users who love a different experience.
