Fold/Flip 7 feedback, suggestions

[JonahObiman]

Hey @SamsungMobile, I have some feature suggestions for the upcoming Z Fold series that I believe could enhance the user experience. 

1. Gesture-Controlled Volume Button:

A flat, gesture-sensitive volume button where users can slide up or down to adjust the volume, similar to how the power button integrates the fingerprint sensor.

The button could still be physically pressable for added flexibility.

Adding customizable single and double-tap actions (e.g., app shortcuts or quick commands) would make it even more functional.

2. Built-in S Pen:

Integrating an internal S Pen slot would solve a real issue for users like me who don’t like using phone pouches just to carry the S Pen.

Offering two versions—one with an S Pen and one without—could cater to different budgets and preferences.

3. Refined Camera Design:

The under-display camera (UDC) on the unfolded inner screen is fantastic and adds to the seamless design.

However, the visible hole-punch camera on the outer screen breaks the uniform aesthetic. It would be amazing if Samsung could introduce an under-display camera on the outer screen as well, creating a clean, uninterrupted look on both displays.

I truly believe these improvements would make the Z Fold 7 stand out even more and reinforce Samsung's leadership in foldable innovation.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. I’m excited to see what’s next for the Fold series!

Best regards,

Jonah Obiman

Samsung is getting very disappointing with their slow pace of adopting advancements in technology that their competitors are releasing at scale. The whole S25 line is a bummer. No improved battery chemistry. No meaningful battery capacity upgrade. No improvement to device thickness. It's really just a new processor. The z fold 7 is looking like it's shaping up to be a similar story. Maybe they'll finally get the form factor right with a wider front screen but unless they improve the battery and actually innovate, it's just going to feel like yet another very minor spec bump. They're playing it too safe and losing their consumer base's interest to their competitors who are offering far more, often for far less.

Samsung please don't core throttle the Snapdragon Elite so. 🙏🏾

I like the volume gesture but would prefer to have it on my flip phone.

Clicking the volume keys when closed sometimes makes me feel like I'm risking the integrity of my phone, like as if I'll break the hinge.

A swipe would be dope but you'd need to make sure it doesn't mess up in your pocket

Could you make the fold with a physical keyboard like the LG env used to have. Touch keyboard is nice but I really liked the feel and fact I could type with gloves on.

Your sliding volume control is already available in Good Lock's Sound Assistant module. The Floating Button option provides exactly what you're asking for.

Could you make the Samsung Fold 7's cover display dimension larger with the S Pen integrated into the body? And for the next watch, could you offer a truly square option?

D pen will never be integrated into the phone. Fold 7 is ready fir production, design is already set.

Some leaks are showing an integrated s pen on the Fold 7.

Guess we'll find out in July.
