* TOP Camera* TOP SelfieMidrange
EDITORIAL: Pura 80 Pro+ was announced along the Pura 80 Ultra on Jun 11, 2025. It is noticably cheaper then the Ultra and shares all of Ultra's features except the zoom unit that is a 48MP OIS PDAF telephoto instead of the new 50MP sensor that serves two periscope tele lenses by utilizing mechanical sliding tech - a first of it's kind! The rest is the same: processor, battery, screen, IP protection, software and even Huawei's good desktop replacement functionality is there.
PROs
premium build quality and a very unique camera bump design, good (upper-midrange) performance from Kirin 9020, 24hr battery endurance with sub-60min 100W charging (80W wireless), 1100nits 460ppi LTPO OLED with 1440Hz PWM , IP69 element protection (2m for up to 30min), outstanding photos from a 50MP 23mm f/1.6-4.0 1 inch main + 48MP 93mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + 40MP 13mm AF ultrawide camera setup, great 13MP AF ultrawide performance, good video recording, mature desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.1 with OTG and Display Port 1.2 and a great sound from the stereo speaker setup
CONs
big heavy (76.1mm 219g) body, short battery life for such a big phone, lack of expandable memory slot, lack of (out-of-the-box) Google services, unknown software update future
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
72.8mm (2.87in) · Jul 2025 · Rank #126

EDITORIAL: Samsung brought it's top 200MP main camera (from S25 Ultra) to their best foldable. It also added AF to the ultrawide but unfortunately kept the telephoto at just 10MP. The phone is now significantly thinner compared to Z Fold 6 (from 5.6mm to 4.2mm when unfolded) but noticably wider compared to past models (72.8mm vs 68.1mm on Z Fold 6 and 67.1mm on Z Fold 5). Battery tech, endurance and charging remain the same, a disappointing performance from the world's biggest phone maker.
PROs
excellent build, nice new colors, fast SD 8 Elite with UFS4.0 performance, >1400nits bright 422ppi (368ppi inner) HDR10+ LTPO AMOLED screens, IP48 protection, good photos from 200MP OIS main + 12MP ultrawide cameras (both with PDAF), 7 years of OS updates, DeX - Samsung's excellent desktop replacement software
CONs
not as one-hand-friendly as it used to be, embarrassing lack of battery tech and performance improvement, 90min 25W slow charging, disappointing telephoto camera performance, no AF on either selfie, no SDmemory slot, Samsung's persistent effort to lock its customers into the phone & accessories echo-system
