Google's new Pixel 10 Pro Fold is packed with flagship features including a stunning new 3nm processor, bigger battery and magnetic charging. Yet, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is much thinner and lighter, and has a 200MP primary camera.

Thanks to a major redesign for 2025, Samsung may have reached foldable phone nirvana with the new Galaxy Z Fold 7.

And now that you can get one for $1,700, that question just got a lot easier to answer. It's still pricey—you can get Samsung's non-folding flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, for around $1,300—but it might be just affordable enough now to be worth the splurge, depending on how much you like big screens.
