Friends, you often ask me, don't you, which phone I use and why? So, I think this is the time to answer. Because this is the phone I am going to use now. Yes, this will be my phone. This is not a normal regular unboxing video. This is me talking about my own phone. Friends, this is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. We will do a quick unboxing, but I will tell you later in the video why I chose this phone to enjoy the way I live my life. Hello friends, my name is Gaurav, you are watching Technical Guruji. Let's start. Let's start. Let's start. Let's start. So, first things first, this is quite a special phone for me, and special because its color is Jet Black, and this is the 1 Terabyte variant. Because I felt that now that I am using it myself, the more storage, the better. And I felt that black was something that was appealing. So, I have got this phone. Let's unbox and then talk about this Galaxy Z Fold 7. You know, no matter how many times you unbox a phone, when it feels like it's good, I'll put my SIM in this and all that. Then that feeling naturally comes. There is a USB-C cable. We have a quick start guide. Then we have a SIM tool, and here it is, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 in this Jet Black color. Let's remove the protection. Okay guys, there you have it. The beauty. It packs amazing performance. Let's boot it up. And by the time it sets up, you just have a quick recap, a quick look of this specific phone. And then we'll talk about exactly why I am picking this phone. What all will it provide me overall as a package. [Music] [Music] So guys, you saw, first of all, what a complete feel it gives in Jet Black. I mean, look, definitely the blue shadow was the hero color that we saw most commonly for this new Fold. But my pick was this to take it as a personal phone. And here, I think Samsung has clearly changed the game with this phone. And look, I can tell you this because I was exposed to foldables since the first one. The first Samsung Galaxy Fold came in 2019. The moment I saw that phone, the moment I tried it for the first time. I felt like, man, this will be the only phone that will be my phone. And then I moved to Fold since then. I have tried all the Folds. And before that, you know, you feel that, look, technology has just arrived, and all. But over the years, we have seen how improvements have happened all around. Sometimes we don't even realize how those things are improving behind the scenes, improving. But with this one, there's no need to say anything. If you have used a Fold before today, fine. If not, fine. Pick up this phone. Feel it, and you will feel, what is this Fold even? Because it feels like a normal phone. And the moment you open this up into this huge canvas of an 8-inch screen size. I mean, man, it changes the game altogether. Here, friends, the dimensions, they work really in favor of this device. Because when I talk about its overall profile, I mean, the weight is just 25 grams. The thickness in this position is just 8.9 mm. If opened, it's just 4.2 mm. I mean, it wasn't possible to be thinner than this, otherwise, even the USB-C port wouldn't fit. But at the same time, this phone packs so much with improved cameras, performance, AI features, this Armor Flex hinge, I mean, durability, from all sides, I think this phone is definitely a daily driver material, and that's why I am coming to it now. Now, friends, if we talk about what you can expect, then see, first things first, the camera is a complete ultra experience here because we have a 200-megapixel main camera with this phone, where again, it enables you to capture things the way you want, and you get the advantage of cropping, the advantage of zooming, especially in a foldable, having a 200-megapixel camera is a very big deal. Then we also have a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. We also have a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The selfie camera is again 10 megapixels here, and 10 megapixels on the inside as well, with an even wider angle now. So, I mean, you know, in a foldable, at one time, when I'm talking to you, let's say the first generation, or the second, or the third, you felt like some compromises were made, like, you know, that polished experience wasn't quite there. But guys, here, with this Fold 7, you get the complete Samsung Galaxy Ultra experience, consider it has arrived in this kind of a form factor. Talking about the screen, it is much, much, much easier to use. I mean, I would say zero complaints whatsoever. You feel like you are using a normal phone. Because here, there is a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with Full HD+ resolution, running at 120Hz. Adaptive from 1 to 120, the phone can switch. It has a 21:9 aspect ratio. You are properly using it with one hand, you are typing with two hands. It feels like a proper screen that we get. If you want a bigger canvas, then okay, open this up. It's an 8-inch again, Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen. I would say the hinge is negligible. Literally, you might rarely feel it if you grip it in a certain way, otherwise, you don't feel it at all. It feels like a full immersive canvas again. Here too, because of the refresh rate, because of the resolution, because of the brightness, the experience is quite immersive, and it really feels like, yes, you can get your work done. And here, friends, the role of the Armor Flex hinge starts from getting work done. Because sometimes you want to use this phone in like this kind of a scenario. The way it holds, the way the hinge operates so smoothly, you will find it works very well with this phone. Because you are watching videos, let's say you want to do something with a document, you want to type something, use it like a mini laptop experience. All of that we get with this phone. Again, very much improved. And then comes the performance of the Exynos 2500 for Galaxy inside it. Let me tell you a fact. You must have seen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in many phones. And then in Samsung's phones, you see that Samsung uses a different version, which is specially tuned for these phones, which is called Exynos 2500 for Galaxy. We saw it in the S25 lineup, and now we have seen it in the Fold 7. Guys, if you combine the total shipments of Exynos 2500, including all the brands that have used Exynos 2500, it is still less than the shipments that we have received in these products with Exynos 2500 for Galaxy. I mean, again, it shows the size of Samsung, and it shows that if you are talking about a true flagship experience, Exynos 2500 for Galaxy is that chip. Along with that, friends, because I have the 1TB variant, it has 16GB of RAM. If you take the 512GB storage variant, it will also have 16GB of RAM. It starts from 256GB, and in that, you get 12GB of RAM. But then again, without a doubt, you are going to get very good performance, because the software is also very good. One UI 6.1, we are getting with Android 16. You will get long updates in this. And in terms of Galaxy AI features, I am very happy. All the features here, friends, all the kinds of software features you talk about in terms of documents, we are talking about during calls, while browsing, you talk about notes, all in all, you talk about writing tools, while writing any message, everything. It greatly enhances your power. And then talk about Gemini. Here, Gemini Live, again, with a large screen, you share the screen with Gemini, in split screen, you are doing some work, using multiple apps. We talk about multitasking. I mean, from all sides, it's really a champion. It has a 4400 mAh battery, enough that you can easily get through your day with this phone. Because the optimization is really good. And then it has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and the back. I mean, I think I have made the right choice with this one. What do you guys think about this phone? Because the numbers, they are pretty obvious. I mean, all records have been broken by Samsung in the past, if we talk about the sales of this phone, about the pre-orders, then this phone has been an instant hit, an instant hit on arrival for Samsung. And for now, this Fold 7 is where my SIM is going, and I am going to use it as one device for everything, for normal usage, for serious office work, for entertainment. Whether we play games or watch videos, that work. Talking about AI features, camera for content creation time, it also works as a mini tripod for me, right? Because of this design. I mean, I think this is a one-stop shop solution. If you want a complete smartphone. I think this is the answer. In this form factor. It feels like a normal phone. Man, this magical work happens as soon as this phone opens up. What do you guys have to say about this phone? I might bring some more videos in the future. As I use it more, in detail, maybe we can talk about your many concerns about durability, or maybe about AI, or you know, how my experience has been. I will tell you. But for now, let's keep it at this in this video. I hope you liked it. If you have any suggestions, don't forget to comment below. I will see you in the next video. For now, that's all. Jai Hind.
