Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: A Game-Changer for Low Vision Users?

Marc Aflalo goes hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and shares why this might be the first Android phone to pull him away from iPhone. Thin, powerful, and packed with accessibility options, is this the foldable to watch?

Marc praises the Fold 7’s super thin build, excellent hinge design, and dual-screen utility. When folded, it functions like a traditional smartphone; unfolded, it becomes an 8-inch tablet—perfect for work, entertainment, and accessible zooming for low vision users.

He highlights how Android’s accessibility tools scale beautifully on the larger display and explores how folding tech might replace the need for a separate iPad. The conversation expands to Apple’s rumored folding iPhone, the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, and the future of wearable assistants, including Amazon’s acquisition of the Bee.

Marc also touches on AI assistants, smart glasses from Meta, and why battery life, compatibility, and UX design will determine which folding tech wins in the long run.
