How has the design been upgraded on the Galaxy Z Fold7?

There have been several hardware innovations made to Galaxy Z Fold7 that set it apart from not only Galaxy Z Fold6, but any other foldable smartphone on the market. First, the expansive displays both inside and out. And although the displays are larger, the phone itself has been slimmed down significantly to make it more portable than any Galaxy Z Fold before, both folded and unfolded. Folded, it measures 8.9 mm thick, and unfolded it is 4.2 mm thick. Comparatively, Galaxy Z Fold6 measures 12.1 mm thick folded and 5.6 mm thick unfolded; Galaxy Z Fold5 measures 13.4 mm thick folded and 6.1 mm thick unfolded; Galaxy Z Fold4 measures 15.8–14.2 mm thick folded and 6.3 mm thick unfolded. It's also the lightest Galaxy Z Fold so far, weighing 215 g, compared to Galaxy Z Fold6's weight of 239 g, Galaxy Z Fold5's weight of 253 g and Galaxy Z Fold4's weight of 263 g. In addition, the phone is crafted with new materials that improve the durability. The cover screen has been upgraded with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a ceramic-enhanced glass that is more durable while maintaining the clarity of the display. This is the first Z Fold model to include this innovative glass. In comparison, Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Fold5's cover screen is Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 and Galaxy Z Fold4 has a cover screen with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+. The frame is enhanced to be more durable, using Advanced Armor Aluminum for the first time on any Galaxy device. The hinge housing is strengthened as well, with the Armor FlexHinge keeping your folds and unfolds protected. Galaxy Z Fold6's frame is made with Enhanced Armor Aluminum; Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Fold4 feature an Armor Aluminum frame.

Which Galaxy Z Fold smartphone camera offers the best experience?
