The Galaxy Z Fold 7 phone is now available for purchase, giving Android fans a brand-new flagship device to consider in the growing foldables market. Luckily, it's also one of the best you can buy at the moment. If you want to give it a shot, you can currently buy an unlocked Galaxy Z Fold 7 at major retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, or you can purchase it directly from Samsung.
However, this is one that's likely to put quite a dent in most folks' wallets. The base version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with 256GB of storage lands at a whopping $1999. If you need even more space, you could be looking at up to $2419 to reach 1TB of storage. That's a lot of space, but it's also a lot of money.
You can currently get a Galaxy Z Fold 7 with 512GB of storage at the same cost as the 256GB version until pre-orders end at midnight on June 25. That's double the storage for the base price of $1999—but only if you act fast. Amazon is currently offering the best version of this deal by including a bonus $300 gift card on top of the storage upgrade. You can check out all of the details below.
Where to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is not only impressively thinner than last year's Fold 6 at only 4.2mm, but it also comes packing the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip for better multi-tasking performance, as well as a larger battery so you can keep gaming (or doomscrolling) without worrying too much.
What we said in our review
If you're still on the fence, you can always check out what we thought during our hands-on time with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. In our IGN review, Jackie Thomas said:
"The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is everything I wanted out of a foldable: It’s faster, easier to use, and no longer has a weird aspect ratio that makes everything look like it's getting squeezed. However, the high price tag and throttle-friendly performance profile means this continues to be a niche smartphone – even if it’s the foldable that’s the closest to being a normal phone yet."
So, while the form factor of foldables may not have won over everyone quite yet, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may be well worth the premium cost for enthusiasts looking for one of the best offerings in this niche market.
If you do decide to upgrade to the new Z Fold, you should also make sure you get a decent case for it. A higher price tag means all the more reason to protect your investment. Here are some of the best Galaxy Z Fold 7 cases we recommend you check out.
