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

This might be the one where I actually go for it.

I didn't like the skinny cover screen. It would force me to always use it for email, texting. Fat fingers on that screen was a no go for me. Cameras too!

With the upcoming Fold series to be launched next month, you can't call it an Ultra unless there are Ultra cameras on it.

Yes, you can make the screen larger, unless you put the top 3 cameras, especially the 5x telephoto you can't call it an ULTRA!

Are the cameras really what make it an Ultra?  I thought it was just because the Ultra had the most and most advanced features (which, I assume, would include better cameras).  I don't see any depiction of the camera array in the press release.

Who's looking forward to next month's Samsung's Foldable phones and the Galaxy watch 8 series?

Not paying that price for an android. Sorry.

Worser read little on the tri fold

Would you pay that price for an apple?

[fyplovely]

I'm going to pay that price for a banana. And I'll see why we have to compare anything to Apple. They're just another company.

[GeeZerrr]

No.

From what I've seen of Samsung's trifold, one of the two hinges folds with the hinge on the inside of the fold, fully exposing the screen to potential damage being on the outside of the fold. NO THANKS! That's a very poor design.
