A Feast for the Lens: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Is Changing How We Capture Food

 

 In a country where food is more than just sustenance; where it is a celebration, a conversation starter, and a national treasure, it’s no surprise that photographing meals has become a beloved ritual. Now, Samsung is taking that experience to new heights with its latest foldable flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold7. This isn’t just a smartphone upgrade; it’s a revolution in mobile photography, especially for those who view food as an art form.


There’s something poetic about a dish captured just before the first bite ;  a strawberry glistening atop a moist slice of cake, steam rising from a freshly grilled ear of corn, or the elegant shadowplay of a plate of nasi kerabu under warm ambient light. It’s that moment-fleeting, perfect  that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 doesn’t just photograph, but elevates.


With this latest foldable flagship, Samsung has gifted food lovers and creators a tool that redefines what smartphone photography can do. The Fold7 doesn’t just take pictures but it documents flavour, texture, and atmosphere with an artist’s eye and a technician’s precision.





Consider the challenge of capturing a strawberry. Not just any strawberry; but one perched delicately on a slice of cake, with a thin glaze catching the light. Most cameras blur the details or blow out the reds. But on the Fold7, the macro lens brings that berry to life. You see the fine seeds dotting its surface, the natural gradients in its skin, and even the soft sheen of moisture as if it were fresh from the chiller. Zoom in, and the sponge below reveals its crumb, layered in cream, airy yet dense and the kind of detail food stylists dream of.





Then there’s the bold, complex plate of nasi kerabu, a Malaysian icon as visually rich as it is culturally deep. Here, the Fold7 flexes its strength in scene detection and colour fidelity. The blue rice appears vivid but not artificial, the greens of the ulam pop with freshness, and the golden fried fish crackles with texture. It’s not just a photo  but it’s an invitation to taste.



And in a completely different mood, the Fold7 captures grilled corn with theatrical flair. Under a streetlamp or natural dusk, the char marks are rendered with smoky precision, each kernel lit with just enough warmth to evoke its buttery aroma. 





But perhaps the Fold7’s greatest party trick is its ability to handle low light with elegance. Many food experiences happen in moody, atmospheric settings ;  a corner table in a dimly lit bistro, or a rooftop dinner with flickering candlelight. 

Here, the Fold7’s advanced Nightography technology steps in like a skilled cinematographer. Shadows are preserved, not flattened. Highlights remain warm, not washed out. A plate of burnt cheesecake doesn’t look dull but it glows, with a rich amber top and a silky smooth centre. Even the shine off the fork and the matte ceramic plate tell a story.

Supporting all this is a design that’s as intelligent as it is stylish. With Flex Mode, the phone folds into its own stand, allowing you to shoot hands-free from any angle. No more awkward elbows or balancing acts not  just seamless flatlays, effortless side angles, or even live cooking captures as you drizzle, slice, or garnish. Combined with the massive main screen, you can edit and post on the spot, turning every meal into a real-time creative session.


Yet beyond the tech specs, what makes the Galaxy Z Fold7 extraordinary is its ability to turn everyday food moments into emotionally resonant stories. It doesn’t just show you what the food looks like. It captures what it feels like. The tenderness of a strawberry, the complexity of nasi kerabu, the crunch of grilled corn, the quiet elegance of a dark dining room and it is all preserved in crisp, saturated beauty.


Samsung hasn’t just delivered a powerful smartphone. With the Fold7, it has created a foldable lens into the heart of Malaysia’s culinary culture but the one that honours the flavours, celebrates the details, and transforms food photography into something truly unforgettable.
