I’ve been on board with foldable phones since the start, but I’ve always preferred flip phones. To me, it’s always made so much more sense to reach for a tiny phone that opens into the size of a regular phone, than a regular phone that folds out into a pseudo-tablet. I’d fight for the chance to review Galaxy Z Flips and Motorola Razrs, and I’d always keep a close eye on the likes of the OPPO Find N Flip and other non-US releases just to see what the rest of the world is cooking up. And while I’ve liked some book-style foldables over the years, I’d never tested one that convinced me I’d want to use one over a clamshell.
Then, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 came along.
