The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 isn’t just for diehard enthusiasts

Expensive folding phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, are typically reserved for enthusiasts. You won’t find too many casual users willing to plunk down $2,000 for a smartphone, and that makes sense.

However, there are plenty of reasons why non-enthusiasts would enjoy a more expansive internal display.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung’s best foldable effort yet, and if you’ve been on the fence about spending extra on a folding phone, this might be the year you take the plunge.

If you love the idea of a book-style folding phone but aren’t sure how you’d use it, here are some reasons why the Galaxy Z Fold 7 should be your next purchase.

A fantastic social media experience

Perfect canvas for creators

If you spend a good amount of your day on social media (I don’t judge), you’ll enjoy the benefits of the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s 8-inch internal display.

Creating Instagram posts and stories is much easier with all that screen real estate, and it’s a better experience when adding text and effects to your content.

TikTok editing is just as pleasant, and different filters and options are easier to choose from.

The larger Galaxy Z Fold 7 display also enhances photo editing. You can preview changes you’ve made to an image side by side with the original, ideal for when you’re getting a picture just right for a post.

Samsung’s Audio Eraser is perfect for content creators who want to eliminate unwanted background noise from footage. You won’t have to lose the perfect take just because a truck drove by unexpectedly.

Better ways to capture content with a foldable

Flex Mode helps you do more with less

Capturing versatile video clips on your own is improved on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Flex Mode allows you to prop up the phone’s cameras without a stand, letting you take photos and videos without needing a second person or additional equipment.

Using the larger display, you can also preview and scroll through your camera roll while the camera app is still open, giving you a better idea of the content you’ve already captured and what’s left on your to-do list.

If you take a bunch of selfies and love capturing special moments with friends, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is worth the added investment. With cover screen preview turned on, you can use the primary cameras on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for selfies.

Instead of being limited by the 10MP front-facing camera, you get access to the 200MP wide-angle lens and the 3x telephoto zoom. Just make sure you have a firm grip on your phone before turning it around.

Higher resolution footage is perfect for vloggers, and you’ll enjoy having added options, like the ultrawide lens on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Regular content looks better

No one will complain about more space

Regular social media content just looks better on a Galaxy Z Fold 7. Instagram and TikTok are fantastic to use, and Reddit is much easier to scroll through on the big screen.

If you’re a fan of web comics, imagine how your WebToons app will look sprawled out across an 8-inch display.

Web pages are more pleasant to scroll through, and I appreciate being able to view the entirety of an email or PDF file when I’m working.

If you own a business, the multitasking capabilities of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will enable you to accomplish more, allowing you to keep your calendar and email up and running simultaneously.

You can use more widgets on your home screen, allowing you to keep track of several things at a glance.

You don’t just have to be a tech enthusiast to enjoy a bigger smartphone, so the Galaxy Z Fold 7 makes more sense for a broader range of people than its $2,000 price tag suggests.

Think long and hard about how you’ll use a Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is undoubtedly the company’s best foldable effort, but it requires effort on your part to determine whether you want to spend all that money.

The uses and the value are there for the right customer, and if you are a content creator or business owner, the benefits will pay for themselves.

Still, it’s not a device for everyone, but Samsung has done a much better job of giving casual users legitimate reasons to pick up a Galaxy Z Fold 7. I just hope you don’t spend the entire day on Instagram.
