EDITORIAL: Released on Jun 12th, 2025 the Pura 80 Pro is a slightly downgraded version of the Pro+. These two share the same size body, processor, battery, charging, screen, element protection, selfie and even software with the mighty Pura 80 Ultra. Difference is just in phone colors and the back camera tech: this Pro features a 1 inch sensor 50MP OIS PDAF main + 48MP PDAF telephoto + 40MP AF ultrawide while it's more expensive siblings have better imaging hardware. Still, expect some outstanding photos from it.
PROs
premium build, sub-45min 100W (80W wireless) charging, LTPO OLED screen, IP69 protection, excellent photography from a 50MP 23mm 1" OIS PDAF main + 48MP 93mm OIS PDAF tele + 40MP 13mm AF ultrawide, excellent 13MP 21mm PDAF selfie, full desktop replacement feature, fast USB-C 3.1 with OTG and Display Port 1.2 and a great sounding stereo speaker setup
CONs
219g heavy and built like a tank, mediocre (7nm) Kirin 9020 performance, only 24hr endurance from a 5170mAh old tech lithium battery (5700mAh China version lasts longer), ~1100nits of max brightness, gone is the memory expansion slot, uncertain software future of an OS based on Android 12 with limited (or difficult) access to Google apps

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
