Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETSamsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is arguably the biggest upgrade to its foldable phone lineup in years. In fact, it is the lightest book-style foldable available on the market right now. I went hands-on with the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, and this is the Samsung upgrade I’ve waited years for.
