That is the 12 months of skinny telephones, and whereas they aren’t getting a whole lot of traction, these telephones are fairly spectacular. I completely love utilizing the iPhone Air, and ex-MobileSyrup-er Brad Bennett was additionally a giant fan of this telephone. And whereas the telephone is a skinny marvel, the Galaxy S25 Edge is spectacular. Samsung’s skinny handset is perhaps barely thicker, however it has an even bigger battery, a 200-megapixel digicam, and an ultrawide shooter.
Different spectacular telephones that got here to Canada this 12 months embrace the OnePlus 15, which gives a 7,300mAh battery and the RedMagic 11 Professional with a 7,500mAh battery. Each embrace vapour chambers, with the RedMagic 11 Professional that includes flowing liquid cooling and the OP15 with aerospace-grade aerogel for insulation.
Whereas these 4 gadgets impressed me this 12 months, alongside the iPhone 17 Professional Max, which inserts a vapour chamber with deionized water sealed inside to assist with efficiency, and an aluminum unibody, which is optimized for efficiency and battery, even with solely a 5,088mAh battery (GSMArena), the iPhone 17 Professional can final about two days.
Nevertheless, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 takes the cake. Pushing the envelope, the telephone weighs 215g, and when it’s unfolded, it’s 4.2mm skinny. Moreover, it options 16GB of RAM, as much as 1TB of storage, Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 6.5-inch Cowl Display screen, and an 8-inch foldable display screen, with a 200-megapixel main digicam, a 10-megapixel telephoto, and a 12-megapixel.
The Honor Magic V5 is perhaps the thinnest foldable smartphone available on the market (not tri-folding), however at its thinnest, it’s 4.1mm, solely 0.1mm thicker than the Galaxy Fold 7.
Yr over 12 months, Samsung has been bettering the Z Fold sequence, and with the Z Fold 7, the corporate has made a telephone with an excellent Cowl Display screen with the proper side ratio, an extremely skinny machine with a really sturdy physique.
If Samsung’s Galaxy TriFold got here to Canada, it’d positively get this award, however till then, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the ‘Most Modern’ telephone of the 12 months.
