A review for MOST users. ( I think)
First let me tell you how I use the z fold 7. And I will compare it to the z fold 4 for those who might want to try a z fold but don't want to spend a lot of money.First I use my z fold to watch videos while I am working out on the treadmill or elliptical, or if I'm waiting at a doctor's office or on in the bathroom. I respond to emails and texts but I don't use it as a work center. I play quick games or watch tik tok or other simple apps. I watch videos in bed while my wife is watching home improvement shows on tv.. If you do more or want more this review might not help you. I dont care if a certain z fold opens an app .33 seconds quicker than another. I am always by an outlet so I don't care if a certain z fold stays charged MUCH longer than another. I love the bigger screen that the fold series offer. Now. I jumped into the z fold world at z fold 4. Here are some real problems with the z fold 4 TODAY. FIRST you are going to get a used zfold. Battery life will be an issue because it's older. BUT IF all you want is what I use it for it's a great phone. Yes it's thicker than a zfold 7 yes the screen is smaller BUT it's much less expensive and will give you the same results as a z7 at a much cheaper price. SO YOURE ASKING WHY DID I BUY A Z7 THEN. GOOD QUESTION. I had 2 z4s and what really bothered me is that the hinges will at some point fail and the phone won't open all the way. A zfold should open 180 degrees a straight line. I owned 2 z4s and after a while both hinges stopped opening all the way up. More like 175+degrees. My research showed that this was a problem with the z fold 4 5 and 6. Supposedly they fixed it with the z7 but I still see on line that some ppl are having that problem. I bought this phone refurbished at a MUCH CHEAPER PRICE and so far it's great. But I have not owned it a full month. I WILL DO AN UPDATE ON MY REVIEW IF OR WHEN THE HINGE ON THIS PHONE IS A PROBLEM.Right now if you're new to the zfold world and you are going to use it like I DO I recommend the z4. Yes it's thicker, the battery won't last all day if you stay on YouTube or tik tok but for the price I think the z4 is great entry point. I am NEVER GOING BACK TO A NONFOLD PHONE and I'm going to wait till the trifold 3 falls in price to under 2k. So the z7 was the next best option.Now why I love the z7. Yes mine is used. Bigger screen, more bells and whistles, thinner and lighter and hopefully no hinge issues. After 2 z fold 4s I wasn't going to buy a 3rd. My first zfold4 the hinge was a problem but I got my second because the battery stopped working on the first one. It would only stay on if it was plugged in. No one would replace the battery for me so I bought the 2nd zfold4. My 2nd zfold had hinge issues and the apps started popping up that I couldn't get rid of and the touch screen got glitch. As far as battery life I Can't say better battery life on the z7 because it's newer. Not a fare comparison But I'm happy with it for now. If you have had a chance to handle a z series and like it and want to committed definitely the z7. If you're on the fence and don't or can't drop this kind of money the z4 is a great buy.Ver másVer menos
