In comparison, past Google Foldables are rather chunky beasts. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn't quite as bad as the original Pixel Fold, and its 5.1mm unfolded thickness means it's actually thinner than the Z Fold 6. But it's still thicker and heavier than the 4.6mm/7.5 ounce Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it finally catches up to foldable hardware from rivals (and then some).

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems to be thinner than the HONOR Magic V5, at least based on these two experiments.

In the wake of several years where Samsung had decidedly changed very little in the way of device thickness, the company has officially reached a halfway point. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is half the size of the original Galaxy Fold, and that’s something to celebrate.

The Z Fold 7 is overall slightly taller and wider than its predecessor, which results in bigger screens. The new foldable has a 6.5-inch AMOLED Full HD Plus (2,520x1,080 pixels) cover display, up from the 6.3-inch AMOLED Full HD Plus (2,376x968 pixels) cover display on the Z Fold 6. Both models have 1 to 120Hz variable refresh rates.

New reports indicate future Samsung Galaxy Z Fold models main feature S Pen support, even with a dedicated slot. More details here.

The Vivo X Fold 5 is here with a slimmer chassis and a stronger hinge. With a versatile camera system and a large capacity battery, the Vivo X Fold 5 will take on the premium Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7,
