0:00They say once you go fold, it’s hard to
0:03go back. [music] But that only works if
0:05the phone is actually durable and
0:07practical for everyday use. So, is the
0:11Galaxy ZFold finally that foldable you
0:13can rely on in 2026? [music]
0:15In this video, we’re going to find out
0:18how it folds up in real life, how Galaxy
0:20AI helps with your work and daily grind,
0:22and what new year promos you can take
0:24advantage of here [music] in the
0:26Philippines. Hi guys, Brian from Yugate
0:29and let’s get started.
0:34[music]
0:37So, let’s start with something a lot of
0:40people are still worried about,
0:42durability.
0:43At Yugate, our editor-inchief, a
0:45Bolandres, has been daily driving the
0:47Galaxy Zfold 7 for several months now.
0:51No case, [music] no special treatment,
0:53just a regular everyday use. Even with
0:56that, the phone still feels solid,
0:58responsive, and reliable, which really
1:01shows how far the Bose have gone.
1:03Compared to earlier generations, the
1:05Galaxy Zold 7 is now the thinnest and
1:07lightest. And it’s much closer to a
1:10traditional flagship like the Galaxy S25
1:13Ultra in size and [music] weight. So, in
1:15the pocket, it doesn’t feel as chunky as
1:17heavy as the other phones, which removes
1:20one of the biggest hesitations people
1:22had before. When it comes to durability,
1:24Samsung really doubled down last year.
1:26The Galaxy Zfold 7 features a new armor
1:29flex hinge and a titanium plate layer to
1:32improve structural strength and
1:34long-term toughness. [music] The ultra
1:35thin glass on the inner display is now
1:3750% thicker. And the [music] cover
1:40screen is protected by the Gorilla Glass
1:42ceramic 2 with an armor aluminum frame
1:44for better protection against everyday
1:46[music] bumps and scratches. Samsung’s
1:48durability stack here is one of the most
1:50mature in [music] the foldable space and
1:52that long experience does show in real
1:54world use. This is a foldable design to
1:58live in your bag on your desk in your
2:00pocket through commutes, coffee shop and
2:03trips, not just something you baby and
2:05only use at home. The big advantage of
2:08the Galaxy Zfold 7 shows up at the
2:10moment you unfold it. You get this 4 to3
2:13inner display that gives you a more
2:15balanced almost tablet-like canvas. The
2:18layout works really well if you’re
2:19someone who likes to get [music] things
2:21done on your phone. You can watch
2:23YouTube while browsing the web. Scroll
2:25through social media while planning
2:26where to eat or reply to chats while
2:29reading long- form articles or
2:30documents. For productivity, this
2:33[music] aspect ratio shines when you’re
2:35juggling work, studies, or a side
2:37business all on one device. And even
2:40though you’re working with [music] a
2:42bigger display, the Galaxy ZFold 7
2:44remains comfortable to hold. It’s thin,
2:46[music]
2:46light, and doesn’t feel tiring to use,
2:49even when folded for long sessions.
2:51Under the hood, the Galaxy ZFold 7 runs
2:53on the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite [music]
2:55for Galaxy. So, you’re getting proper
2:57flagship performance in a foldable form
3:00factor, not a watered down chip. That
3:02means you can push it with heavy
3:04multitasking, [music] gaming, or content
3:06creation and still get smooth
3:08performance on both the cover and
3:10[music] inner screens. Now, let’s dive
3:12into the Galaxy AI and software because
3:14this is where [music] Samsung is really
3:16making its standards here for 2026.
3:19Galaxy AI isn’t [music] just a feature.
3:21It’s the foundation of the entire
3:23flagship experience. The Galaxy ZFold 7
3:26is the ultimate proof of that. [music]
3:27And this is truly what sets Samsung
3:29apart from the others. What makes it
3:31more interesting is how Galaxy AI is
3:33turned for [music] this big screen. You
3:35can, for example, run AI summaries on
3:38one side while keeping the full article
3:40on the other. Translate content in a
3:42split view while chatting or drag AI
3:44generated text and images straight into
3:46your notes or documents. It feels like
3:49AI that’s really built around
3:50multitasking, not just a oneoff feature.
3:53Galaxy AI acts like an everyday
3:55assistant. It helps with tasks like
3:57drafting messages or emails, [music]
3:59summarizing local text, translating
4:01content, organizing ideas or assisting
4:04with study and work material. It’s not
4:06just one flashy feature. It’s more like
4:08a layer of intelligence sprinkled
4:10[music] throughout the system to make
4:12your day a bit more efficient, whether
4:14you’re a creator, student, or a
4:16professional. On the camera side, the
4:18Galaxy [music] ZFold 7 packs a flagship
4:20level camera system, including a 200
4:23megapixel main sensor, similar to what
4:25you’re getting on Samsung’s top bar
4:27phones. You also get flexible camera
4:29usage. You can use the powerful rear
4:31cameras as your main selfie camera by
4:33framing yourself on the cover screen,
4:35giving you better quality shots for
4:37selfies, reals, or stories. And if
4:40you’re into editing photos or videos,
4:42the larger inner display alone already
4:44makes it easier to see more of your
4:46timeline, check fine details, and manage
4:48multiple tools and control on screen at
4:51once. Something that’s hard to achieve
4:53[music] on a standards level. Now, if
4:56you’re thinking of making the switch
4:58[music] this year, this is where it gets
5:00really interesting. Samsung Philippines
5:02is running several New Year promos
5:04across its latest flagship devices,
5:07including the Galaxy Zfold 7 and the
5:09Galaxy Z Flip 7. So, if you’ve been
5:12waiting for the right time, this might
5:14be it. You can get the Galaxy ZFold 7

5:28older phone, you can trade it in at
5:29Samsung authorized stores and [music]
5:31use its value as a discount when you
5:33upgrade to a new Galaxy Zfold 7 or the
5:36Galaxy Z Flip 7 [music] or the Galaxy
5:38S25 FE. Plus, you can still stack other
5:42discounts on top. And if you buy a
5:44Galaxy ZFold 7 or Galaxy Z Flip 7 from
5:47Globe or Smart this January, you’ll also
5:49get an 8,000 pesos Samsung.com e voucher

6:07extra value if you trade in an older
6:10device or buy through Globe or Smart. At
6:12the end of the day, a folding phone
6:14still won’t be for everyone. [music] But
6:16once you experience the flexibility,
6:19productivity, and convenience that
6:21something like the Galaxy ZFold 7
6:22offers, it does become hard to go back
6:25to a traditional smartphone. With its
6:27tougher build, refined and thinner
6:30design, larger display, flagship grade
6:32performance, and Galaxy AI, [music]
