The announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 brought with it a significant change that disappointed many users: the removal of S Pen support. For those accustomed to the stylus's precision and utility on their foldable devices, this was a notable downgrade.

One of the most interesting things about this new AI Smartphone age is watching how different OEMs navigate how much of their AI offerings they should cede to Google. Obviously, the simplest things for a smaller OEM to do is lean heavily on what Google is providing with tools like Magic Editor, Circle to Search and of course all the things Gemini does. The downside with fully relying on Google’s AI, which largely runs in one of their data centers, is that if Google ever decides to make any of their features paid you’ll have no say in how that goes. Granted, Google’s path tends to be starting paid and going free later, but still. You have no control either way.

It can be frustrating when a new flagship phone uses the same battery as its predecessor, especially when competitors are making significant leaps. This is the exact sentiment felt by many tech enthusiasts who were disappointed to learn the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 retains a 4,400mAh battery. Chinese manufacturers like Vivo and Oppo have pushed the boundaries with larger silicon-carbon batteries, allowing devices like the Vivo X Fold 5 to boast a 6,000mAh cell while remaining thin.

Ladies and gentlemen, at long last, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Flip 7 FE are official and we have several elephants in the room with us that we need to acknowledge. I think almost to a historic degree, the rumor cycle around the Z Fold 7 was fraught with misinformation. I don't want to say disinformation because I feel like disinformation implies intent to deceive, and that's not what we had here as far as I can tell. But we did get a lot of things wrong, and I got some things wrong. So, we’re going to do in this article is go over some of the details that the rumor mill got wrong in name of accountability.

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are almost here and as usual that means we're seeing a ton of leaks even before their official launch. Evan Blass, who's shared renders of both phones before, has some new images to show us.

The question of whether or not the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature S Pen compatibility or not has been surprisingly hard to answer. Early leaks indicated that the Fold 7 would be dropping the all-important S Pen digitizer much the same way the Galaxy Z Fold SE did in an attempt to shave off thickness. With the SE, the result was that S Pen use was not an option. Because of this, many have assumed that the Z Fold 7 would also be dropping Pen support in a move that would certainly anger many.

The pricing narrative for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 has been a rollercoaster, largely due to the varying reliability of the sources of the leaks and the lack of filtering by the large blogs signal boosting literally everything for clicks. Let’s a take a moment to run through the 3 prominent leaks and see how most of this confusion and consternation could have easily been avoided.

There has been a lot of debate in the comment section about whether or not the Fold 7 have an S Pen and a lot of this seems to come from the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition removed the S Pen digitizer chasing a thinner form factor. That's the thing that actually allows the pen to function, in order to make the device even thinner. Because of that, the Z Fold Special Edition did not have compatibility with the S Pen.

Tech channel The Sinza has just posted perhaps our best look at the unannounced Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the form of a dummy unit. While it’s important to note than a dummy unit like this is likely to have some small differences from the real thing, the dimensions are apparently pretty spot on.

As exciting as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is, anytime I talk about it my comment section is immediately flooded with lamentations over the size and charging speed of the battery. We now exist in a world where devices that are close to 4mm thick have batteries in the range of 6,000mAh which also happen to charge at speeds bordering on incomprehensible.

Hey everyone, we’ve got some exciting news to look at regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. We've been seeing renders for a while now, thanks to reliable sources like Android Headlines and the renowned tipster OnLeaks. While these renders looked promising, we always need that final confirmation. Well, today we got it!

You'd think that since we've had renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 since way back in February, we'd have a pretty good idea of exactly how big this inner display was going to be. But strangely enough, all the way now into June, probably less than a month or right around a month away from this device's launch, we still don't seem to have consensus on this inner screen size.
