Galaxy Z Fold 7: The Thinnest Foldable—Or Not?

Let’s be honest—when you hear “the thinnest foldable ever,” your mind probably races straight to finally, something sleek enough to ditch that chunky tablet feel. And yes, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is definitely a step in that direction. It's lighter, slimmer, and more refined than any previous Samsung foldable. When unfolded, it measures just about 4.2 mm, and when folded, it’s around 8.9 mm—that's seriously impressive for a phone with two screens and high-end hardware packed inside.

It might be Samsung’s slimmest fold yet, but that doesn’t mean it wins the crown across the whole foldable world.

But here’s the twist: while it might be the thinnest Fold Samsung has ever made, it’s not necessarily the thinnest foldable phone on the market. Devices like the Honor Magic V2 or the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 arguably beat it in thickness (by a hair), depending on how you measure it. So yes—it’s incredibly slim. But “thinnest ever”? That depends on who you’re asking.
