Fold7 competition

[ironass]

Whilst I agree that the Samsung Fold7 is an improvement on the Fold6 I noticed that in the Samsung Unpacked event that Samsung were careful to use phrases such as...

"Our thinnest Samsung Fold", "Our best camera on a Samsung Fold", "The slimmest Samsung Fold".

Only a few years ago, if you wanted a fold phone, Samsung were pretty much the only game in town. However, things have moved on and Samsung have some heavyweight rivals to contend with that offer identical or better features at a lower price and are beginning to eat in to Samsung's dominance in the Fold phone market. It is no longer, I believe, enough for Samsung to say... "This is our best Fold phone ever". They need to look at the devices that their competitors are offering at around £300/US$400 cheaper. Last year Samsung apologised for, "A lack of innovation", and this is starting to cost them in the Fold phone market. Perhaps the heavily rumoured Galaxy G Trifold phone later this year may be just what they need to pull ahead again.

The Honor V5 is fantastic in every aspect IMO. And even the V3 before it would give the Fold 7 a run for its money. That having been said the Fold 7 feels very solid and slick in hand. I have been using mine for a few days now and really love it.

I think the Fold 7 is going to pull ahead this time around do to form factor and software features and according to couple sites they didn't increase the battery tech so the battery degradation can last longer compared to the ones using newer tech so you have to look at do you want faster charging battery with bigger size that can last 2 days or ample fast charging and battery degradation at 6 year mark
