Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Specs vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: How Each Fold Phone Compares

Both Samsung and Google debuted redesigns of their most recent fold phones, and here’s how their specs stack up.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuted the biggest redesign the book-style folding phone line has seen thus far. The new phone has a body that’s slim enough to feel like a standard phone when closed and unfolds to reveal an 8-inch display. This reimagining also comes at a higher $2,000 price, making it easily the priciest phone of its category compared with similar offerings like Google’s $1,799 Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Google’s folding phone was also notable for being a redesign over the prior Pixel Fold. This included a 6.3-inch external display that is similar in size to the standard Pixel 9 Pro and unfolds to provide access to its own 8-inch display. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold runs on the Tensor G4 processor, the same as the rest of the Pixel 9 line. However, the 9 Pro Fold does change up its camera setup from the standard 9 Pro, by featuring a 48-megapixel main lens, a 10.5-megapixel ultrawide, a 10.8-megapixel telephoto and 10-megapixel selfie cameras on both the cover and inner screen.

Samsung’s new Fold phone also runs on the same processor as the Galaxy S25 line, featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. It also borrows from the Galaxy S25 Ultra by including a 200-megapixel main camera alongside a 12-megapixel ultrawide, 10-megapixel telephoto and two 10-megapixel selfie cameras across the cover and inner screen. Samsung’s new Fold is about 0.5 inches (1.6 mm) slimmer than the Pixel when closed, and 0.03 inches slimmer when open.

Ultrahuman Ring Pro Brings Better Battery Life, More Action and Analysis

The company’s new flagship smart ring stores more data, too. But that doesn’t really help Americans.

Sick of your smart ring’s battery not holding up? Ultrahuman’s new $479 Ring Pro smart ring, unveiled on Friday, offers up to 15 days of battery life on a single charge. The Ring Pro joins the company’s $349 Ring Air, which boosts health tracking, thanks to longer battery life, increased data storage, improved speed and accuracy and a new heart-rate sensing architecture. The ring works in conjunction with the latest Pro charging case.

Ultrahuman also launched its Jade AI, which can act as an agent based on analysis of current and historical health data. Jade can synthesize data from across the company’s products and is compatible with its Rings.

«With industry-leading hardware paired with Jade biointelligence AI, users can now take real-time actionable interventions towards their health than ever before,» said Mohit Kumar, CEO of Ultrahuman.

No US sales

That hardware isn’t available in the US, though, thanks to the ongoing ban on Ultrahuman’s Rings sales here, stemming from a patent dispute with its competitor, Oura Ring. It’s available for preorder now everywhere else and is slated to ship in March. Jade’s available globally.

Ultrahuman says the Ring Pro boosts battery life to about 15 days in Chill mode — up to 12 days in Turbo — compared to a maximum of six days for the Air. The Pro charger’s battery stores enough for another 45 days, which you top off with Qi-compatible wireless charging. In addition, the case incorporates locator technology via the app and a speaker, as well as usability features such as haptic notifications and a power LED.

The ring can also retain up to 250 days of data versus less than a week for the cheaper model. Ultrahuman redesigned the heart-rate sensor for better signal quality. An upgraded processor improves the accuracy of the local machine learning and overall speed.

It’s offered in gold, silver, black and titanium finishes, with available sizes ranging from 5 to 14.

Jade’s Deep Research Mode is the cross-ecosystem analysis feature, which aggregates data from Ring and Blood Vision and the company’s subscription services, Home and M1 CGM, to provide historical trends, offer current recommendations and flag potential issues, as well as trigger activities such as A-fib detection. Ultrahuman plans to expand its capabilities to include health-adjacent activities, such as ordering food.

Some new apps are also available for the company’s PowerPlug add-on platform, including capabilities such as tracking GLP-1 effects, snoring and respiratory analysis and migraine management tools.
