Both of these phones work with Android OS (operating system), but Samsung Galaxy Fold has a newer 9.0 Pie version while Galaxy S7 edge has Android 8.0 Oreo, providing a couple nice extra features.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold has a little faster processor than Galaxy S7 edge, because it has a larger number of cores and 8 GB more RAM memory. Galaxy S7 edge features a little more vivid screen than Galaxy Fold, because although it has a really smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and a better screen density.
The Galaxy Fold has much more storage to install games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 512 GB internal memory capacity. Samsung Galaxy Fold counts with a slightly better camera than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a smaller sensor taking worse quality videos and photographs, and they both have a 12 mega-pixels resolution back-facing camera and the same (4K) video quality, the Samsung Galaxy Fold also counts with a larger aperture to capture better low light images and videos and higher video frame rate.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold counts with superior battery performance than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because it has 4380mAh of battery capacity.
