One of the big problems with early foldable phones was how bulky they were,a short treatise on eroticism kott but we've come a long way since then.
As an example, Samsung is apparently working to make its next flagship foldable the thinnest one it's ever built. According to a joint leak including device renders from Android Headlines and Onleaks, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 will be just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, and 9.5mm when folded up. That'd make it a full millimeter thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which would be a huge improvement.

This new report also indicates that the Galaxy Fold 7 will have a 200MP main camera sensor this time around, as well as the new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset that did an impressive job powering the recent Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Another recent round of leaks suggested improvements to the hinge and water/dust resistance, as well. The only bummer is that both the older leaks and this newer one all indicate the 4,400mAh battery from last year's model is not changing. Still, anyone who remembers the early days of foldables should understand that slight battery disappointments are not even close to the worst thing you can expect from a foldable device.
