Display & Screen Experience
Galaxy Z Fold 7 - The Tablet Experience in Your Pocket.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 takes visual performance to virtually flagship tablet standards.
It has a display of 7.9-inch dynamic AMOLED 2x inner, with QXGA+ resolution, adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, making it the brightest foldable display that Samsung has ever made (Engadget).
The technology used is the Adaptive Vision Booster that makes colors remain lively outdoors, thus reflections are minimized even in direct sunlight.
The more subtle crease is due to the new Flex Hinge 2.0 and UTG 3.0 (Ultra-Thin Glass), which allows the Samsung to watch the HDR movies or read documents without interruption.
The outer display is also slightly increased in size to the 6.3-inch type with a more natural 21.6:9 aspect ratio to better type and interact with the apps without having to unfold the device.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 - Small Smartness with a Larger Flex Window.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a new pocketable experience in display.
Its external 4.1-inch FlexWindow is almost 30% bigger than usual, which allows using more control without folds, ideal for responding to messages, taking pictures, and pinning on the device (Samsung Global Newsroom).
Messages on the Go: Check messages, weather, camera, music, and maps directly on the cover screen.
4K Selfie Preview: The bigger external screen can be used to view the camera in real time, and this has been perfect in the eyes of creators and vloggers.
FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Inner Display, 120 HZ Adaptive Refresh, HDR10+: The inner has cinematic color depth and clarity, and is a great display to stream or play games.
Durability Raised: UTG 3.0 can now survive up to 40 more folds compared to the Flip 6 - the most durable clamshell Samsung has released to date (Android Authority).
