You Bought the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Now You are Emotionally Bankrupt

Congratulations, you've just indulged in the ultimate retail therapy—part coping strategy, part financial self-sabotage. But who needs savings when you can own a phone that folds like your resolve on a Monday morning?

You've basically purchased a $2,000 mood swing. One moment, it's a stylish, respectable phone. Then — BOOM — it transforms into a little tablet, and suddenly you're thinking, "Life might not be so bad if I can unfold it like this." You're switching screens as if you've got everything under control.

And let’s be honest, the dopamine hit of watching that New Armor FlexHinge in action? Worth at least two therapy sessions. Who needs a financial cushion when you can have a literal conversation piece in your pocket? Now, every time you open it, just whisper to yourself:

“Sure, I’m broke, but I’m broke… luxuriously.”

But hey! you don’t just own a Fold 7. You wield it. You don’t use it — you unleash it, like a techy Excalibur, except it doesn’t need a stone, just deep pockets (both financially and literally).

Of course, you’ll spend the first week opening and closing it just because you can. The Fold 7 is the fidget spinner for adults with credit card debt.

”Look what my phone can do!” you’ll say, while your bank account quietly sobs in the background.

When folded, it’s a phone. When unfolded, it’s a small tablet. And when dropped? It’s a heart attack wrapped in Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. I swear, dropping this thing feels like watching your firstborn trip on stage during their school play. You just… freeze.

But let’s get real: the folding mechanism is SMOOTH. We’re talking smoother than your attempts at flirting in the DMs. It feels like the phone is winking at you every time you unfold it—like, “Hey there, big screen energy.”

What about the screen? It features an 8" QXGA+ inner display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and Vision Booster that can reach up to 2,600 nits. The outer screen is 6.5" and also has a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display is vibrant, lively, and smoother than your best pickup line on a dating app that you’ll probably never use again because now you have a foldable phone to keep you entertained.

Juggling multiple tasks? Consider juggling multiple emotions. Divide your screen between your duties and your moments of overwhelm. Alternatively, you could scroll through negative news on one side while searching "how to organize my life" on the other.

And yes, the crease is still there — because trauma, much like Samsung’s hinge line, never really goes away. But after a week, you’ll stop noticing it — just like you did with your unresolved childhood issues.

Battery life? Surprisingly decent. But let’s be real: you’ll burn through it watching Netflix on that majestic 8-inch screen because who’s gonna open this tech masterpiece just to send “K” on WhatsApp? Nope. You’re rewatching FRIENDS like it’s a religion. But you’ll still catch it gasping for a charger if you’re out here flexing those big apps. Like, don’t expect it to survive a binge-watch-marathon and a Zoom call while navigating Google Maps to your ex’s house for “closure.”

Charging the Fold 7 can be disappointing. In 2025, offering 25W wired charging on a $2,000 foldable feels like arriving at a Formula 1 race with a unicycle. It eventually gets there, but by the time it reaches 50-54% in half an hour, your friends with other flagship phones are already fully charged and enjoying their day.

Samsung’s reasoning might be: “We provided TWO screens and a hinge, what more do you want — speed?!” Yet, watching the slow power increase feels like being on hold with customer service — endlessly waiting, slightly frustrated.

So, you might consider charging it overnight... or cultivating patience. Or both.

Now, let's talk about the price. Yeah... the Fold 7 costs about the same as a small used car. But hey, you’re not just buying a phone — you’re buying a statement. A shiny, expensive statement that says, “I like my gadgets folded and my bank account emptied.”

And yes, it’s still water-resistant, which is great because the number of times I’ve almost dropped it into the toilet while watching 😅nlyFans is... statistically concerning.

Indeed, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 no longer supports the S Pen. Samsung basically told the S Pen: “It’s not you, it’s my waistline.” They Marie Kondo’d that digitizer layer right out of existence in pursuit of “slimmer, lighter, sexier.” And while the Fold 7 now slips into your pocket like a polite little tablet, your inner artist? Left standing in the rain, holding a useless S Pen like it’s an ex who’s been ghosted.

Sure, the trade-off is impressive — 8.9 mm when closed and 4.2 mm unfolded is surgical-thin, like Samsung’s engineers were on a crash diet for devices. But if you were dreaming of doodling your feelings away on an 8-inch canvas, tough luck. Gotta go finger-paint style now — raw, primal, caveman chic.

It’s form over function here. You wanted a sketchpad, they gave you a runway model. Fabulous, but don’t ask it to hold a pen.

Camera? Oh, absolutely—50 cameras. Just kidding (but almost true). This device is equipped with enough lenses to film a wildlife documentary and a TikTok dance in 4K simultaneously. The 200 MP pro-grade Wide-angle rear lens (borrowed from the S25 Ultra) captures low-light scenes with such clarity. Selfies are enhanced too, with a 10 MP punch-hole camera on the inner screen that expands your group photos, ensuring no one is left out of your bff's album.

You purchase the Fold 7 not out of necessity, but because your inner 12-year-old dreams of living in a sci-fi movie, and Samsung has accepted the challenge.

Here’s the truth: is it necessary? No. Is it responsible? Absolutely not.

But is it freakin’ awesome? 1000%.

So, if you want a phone that:

• Makes people say, “Wow, is that the Fold 7?”

• Doubles as a futuristic fidget toy

• Lets you experience financial regret with every fold

Then the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is your guy.

If your bank account just fainted, maybe wait for the Fold 8 (or a re-mortgage). Either way, you’ll look fabulous flipping.

Go on. Treat yourself. Or at least, flex on your friends until your wallet cries itself to sleep.
