What you can do with a Z Fold
- Multitask. Run up to three apps side by side, like a video call, notes and a browser.
- Read comfortably. E-books, PDFs and web pages look closer to a tablet.
- Watch video. The inner screen makes streaming and video calls more immersive.
- Work on the go. Edit documents and spreadsheets with more room than a normal phone.
Diagonal screen size in inches from manufacturer specifications. Foldables shown at main (unfolded) display size.

Is a Z Fold right for you?
It's a great fit if you want the most screen in your pocket. It's heavier and thicker than the Galaxy S24, and like all foldables it needs gentle handling: don't remove the inner screen protector, and keep the hinge away from sand and dust.

Best combos for the Z Fold
Since the Z Fold already works like a small tablet, many people pair it with a laptop in the phone & laptop combo. If you want a bigger shared screen for family use, the phone & iPad or phone & tablet combo works too.

Galaxy Z Fold FAQs
Is the Z Fold the same as a tablet?
Its inner screen is tablet-like, but it's a phone with your Combo Wireless line. You can still add a separate tablet, iPad or laptop in your combo.
Does it support the S Pen?
S Pen support depends on the generation. We confirm your device's generation before shipping, and the S Pen isn't included.
Is it refurbished?
Yes, with the standard manufacturer or provider warranty where applicable.
