Once those problems were solved, Samsung was left with intriguing devices that felt horrible to use. Even the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 were tall, bulky, and very awkward to use. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was Samsung\u2019s first foldable that felt almost nice in the hand.<\/p>\n

It was the Galaxy Z Fold 7 that changed everything, and it was not related to the specs. All foldables had good specs, but that was the first one that felt like a delightful smartphone everyone would love to…
