The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is simply a beast – and the pinnacle in smartphone form factor.
When I accompanied a friend apartment-hunting last week in Delhi, an interesting trend caught my eye — nearly every property dealer we met was using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. It’s not something you expect to notice, but once you do, it’s hard to ignore. What is it about Samsung’s foldable phone that appeals so strongly to real estate agents in India?
A Reddit thread recently raised the same question, suggesting it’s not just me who has been observing this curious preference. While there’s no clear-cut answer, a few logical assumptions can be made. For one, real estate professionals often aim to present an image of success and modernity. The Galaxy Z Fold, with its premium price tag and futuristic design, certainly helps them make that impression. Secondly, the large, foldable display is incredibly useful for showcasing property listings, virtual tours, and client presentations — and even running YouTube channels, which many dealers now use for marketing.
This growing affinity for foldables among niche user groups like property agents highlights how these devices are finding relevance beyond tech enthusiasts. And with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 earlier this month at the Galaxy Unpacked event in New York, Samsung has taken a bold leap forward in refining this segment.
Having used previous generations of the Z Fold, I can say that this year’s model feels significantly more polished. In fact, the Fold7 seems purpose-built to bridge the gap between a foldable and a conventional smartphone. The device now feels closer to a bar-style phone when closed — a design tweak that many users, including myself, have long been hoping for.
Samsung’s seventh-generation foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 — feature sleeker builds, better durability, improved cameras, and a deeper integration of Galaxy AI. These enhancements aim to make foldables not just a technological novelty, but a genuinely functional daily driver for premium users. Whether it’s multitasking, content creation, or media consumption, the Fold7 delivers a blend of versatility and sophistication.
As foldables continue to evolve, it’s clear that Samsung is listening to feedback and fine-tuning its flagship devices to meet diverse user needs — including those of real estate pros in bustling cities like Delhi. The Galaxy Z Fold7 isn’t just about folding screens anymore; it’s about unfolding new possibilities.
