New Samsung Galaxy Phone, Expert Recommendation

Hamna321 — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 15:27:26 GMT

I researched about the best new Samsung Galaxy phone over the past few days because I’m planning to upgrade my current device and want something powerful and future-proof. I read reviews on The Verge, CNET, and TechRadar, and they are marking these two as best:

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Cell Phone, 512GB AI Smartphone

SAMSUNG Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928B/DS 12GB 256GB Dual Sim

https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-SM-S928B-Storage-Unlocked-Titanium/dp/B0CT45DH2H

However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and need your expert advice. I mostly use my phone for work, social media, photography, streaming, and some gaming. Battery life, camera quality, and long-term performance are important for me.

So which one should I buy? Any personal experiences or other recommendations would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

If you are delicate with your phone and like the fact it folds, then go for the folding phone.

While the s24 isn't the newest phone, it's still decent. Should be way cheaper than a fold 7.

Honestly I'd say go for the s24 unless you really want a folding phone. The cost difference will be quite a lot

An s25 would be a better option to compare with the fold 7 but you said s24, so s24 it is.

Also side note, you marked someone asking for help as the solution to your problem. So now people might not help you, because you've marked your issue as solved

Hi @Hamna321 Welcome to the Samsung community Whilst there may be some better deals on the S24 ultra I think the S25 Ultra is a more modern Device,tests have estimated that the latest S series flagship is around 30-40 faster. Real life useage though varies for customers mind you. perhaps compare the two and how you think they match up with the Z Fold 7. wehilst the Fold has advasntages in mutlitasking/productivity with the larger inner screen I think the S25 Ultra is a better all round Device. You can see a comparison between the latest Devices in this thread https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/samsung-lounge/z-fold-7-v-s25-ultra-comparison/td-p/12904998

Like others on here I would suggest the S25U if battery life, cameras and long term use are what matter to you. It would be cheaper than a Fold 7.

● Ultras have a larger battery than the Fold with a smaller screen to power so it lasts longer on a charge.
● S25U has a 50MP Ultrawide vs the 12MP one on the Fold and S24U.
● Ultras have a 50MP 5x zoom vs just a 10MP 3x one, which is a significant usability upgrade.
● Ultras being a slab phone have a strong glass with a anti-reflective coating so it's easier to use outside unlike the Folds that you need be more conscious of how you press objects against the inner screen.

S25 Ultra (not S24 Ultra)

Far better to get the latest unless of course you are a Folder fan 😊

If you're payıng a lot of money for an upgrade I'd go for the newer S25

If I was you I would get s25 ultra, its far more refined and available for discounted prices
