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

LOL - That’s not the Fold 7 - LOL that’s the new S25 edge that’s being released.

So, what is the advantage (besides slimness) of the S25 Edge? Do you think anything has been made worse, like the camera? It looks like it would snap in half in someone's pocket or purse.   Can't imagine there'd be cases readily available for it either.

@realaud  It’s been in development for the past 5 months, so cases should be available as soon as it launches. I don’t see any issues with it. I’m planning to get one!

Seeing how my A54 is just over a year old and perfect and still has 6 updates to go, I was not planning on getting anything new (unless there was deal I could not refuse). I'm just curious if it will perform as well as or better than my current phone. Also, like anyone else, I like shiny new things.

I have a feeling it will be better than the A54 it’s supposedly right below the S25U and and above the S25+ in specs so it should be a great device.

Well, I'll see what the deals are, but I'm not pre-ordering anything.  I'll wait until the user reviews are in. Unless they want to transport me to the event tomorrow to check it out. 🙂

Haha, I don’t think it’ll be a big event, just a video release, I think.

What is the need or fascination with phone thinness? I'd much prefer a thicker phone if it came with a higher-capacity battery. I am planning to replace my Z Fold5 with the upcoming Z Fold7. It would be awesome if the Z Fold7 would come with a 5000 mah battery even if that meant that it would have to be as thick as the previous foldable phones.
