The news is a little better for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, as it saw a more substantial gain in our battery life test over the previous Samsung flip phone. That said, some of Motorola's foldable flip phones continue to outlast Samsung's offerings.

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.

Another environmental consideration: dust resistance. The Z Fold 7 still doesn’t have a formal dust resistance rating; its IP48 means it’s fully water-resistant but only immune to very small particles, not specks of dust. Take extra care and consider adding Samsung’s extended warranty plan to cover pricey inner screen repairs.
