The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung’s most advanced foldable phone yet. But with great innovation comes a learning curve. If you just got yours, here are the top 5 common mistakes new users make—and how to protect your investment from the start.
1. Skipping the Case: "It Feels So Premium!"
Yes, it’s sleek. Yes, it’s expensive. But Fold 7’s unique folding design demands tailored protection.
Going caseless increases risk of scratches, cracked hinges, or even lens damage.
Solution:
Opt for a slim, hinge-protective case with raised edges for the camera and screen. Bonus if it includes a kickstand for Flex Mode.
2. Folding Too Aggressively
It’s tempting to snap it shut like a book, but forceful folding can strain the hinge over time—even on Samsung’s improved design.
Tip:
Always close the Fold gently. A magnetic hinge case can help guide smoother, safer folding without stress.
3. Ignoring Screen Care
The main display is ultra-thin glass with a protective layer, not the same as traditional Gorilla Glass. Scratches and smudges can appear quickly.
Tip:
Use screen protectors designed for foldables and avoid hard taps or fingernail pressure. Clean with a soft cloth regularly.
4. Using Old Fold Cases
Each generation of the Fold has subtle dimension and hinge design changes. Using a Z Fold 5 case on your Fold 7? That’s a risk.
Solution:
Only use cases specifically built for Z Fold 7, ensuring the camera layout, hinge, and ports align perfectly.
5. Forgetting About S-Pen Storage
If you use the S Pen, don’t let it float in your bag. It’s easy to misplace and not cheap to replace.
Solution:
Get a Fold 7 case with a dedicated S Pen slot that’s slim and secure—some even have push-to-release mechanisms!
The Z Fold 7 is built for multitasking, productivity, and style. But treating it like a normal phone could cost you.
