Just like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to get, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 needs softer edges too

Should this turn out to be true, I think Samsung should consider this design change for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 as well, as the sharp corners of the current Fold models can be uncomfortable to hold, especially for long periods. Softening those edges might make the phone more ergonomic and comfortable to use.
To be clear, I’m not talking about curved screens that waterfall over the edges like some older Galaxy models. I’m just suggesting a gentle curve to the phone’s corners where you hold it. Samsung has already incorporated a very slight curve on the Z Fold 6, but it needs to be a bit more pronounce. This small change could make a big difference in how the phone feels in your hand.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series has consistently pushed the boundaries of smartphone technology. With each iteration, we’ve seen improvements in display quality, hinge mechanism, and overall durability. However, one design aspect that has remained relatively unchanged is the sharp corners of the device.
While the flat sides and sharp corners contribute to a modern, angular aesthetic, they can also dig into the palm when holding the device for extended periods. This is a common complaint among users of the Z Fold series, and it seems Samsung might be addressing this concern with the upcoming S25 Ultra.
