- Flip 7 FE retains core features like a 6.7″ AMOLED display and 50MP camera, while trimming extras to lower the price.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, marking the biggest upgrade to its foldable lineup since 2020. Both devices come with slimmer builds, larger displays, longer software support and a comprehensive AI support. And with all that, the prices have gone up too.
Introducing the new devices, Samsung President TM Roh said, “Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 represent the pinnacle of our innovation. These foldables are setting a new path, taking phones to another dimension with our most powerful transformative hardware. Our latest camera sees, understands, and responds to you. Now, the Ultra experience is ready to unfold.”
“AI has rapidly evolved from text-based prompts to multimodal understanding. We have accelerated adoption of AI for smartphones for all, Galaxy AI has become your very own human-like AI companion. Elevating the way you live every day. Galaxy AI was built with privacy at its core, helping your data stay protected at all times,” said Roh.
“In the mobile AI era, you need something beyond. Your smartphone must be your companion capable of understanding context, supporting you in real time, and adapting to your lifestyle. With high-quality performance and AI to elevate your life. Galaxy Z Fold 7 meets these needs,” Roh added.
Here’s more about both foldables.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
The new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a major design leap. It’s now just 8.9mm thick when closed, down from 12.1mm on last year’s Fold 6. Opened up, it’s only 4.2mm thick. The device also sheds weight, dropping from 239g to 217g, and comes with IP48 dust and water resistance, improving durability.
The displays have been upgraded, too. The outer screen is now 6.5 inches with a more natural 2520×1080 resolution, while the inner screen expands to 8 inches. Unfortunately, S Pen support is gone on the main screen, a trade-off for the slimmer build and improved durability.
On the camera front, the Fold 7 now features a 200MP main sensor, along with a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto. Both the inner and outer screens now have the same 10MP selfie camera, ditching the under-display camera used in the past.
Under the hood, the Fold 7 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. The 4,400mAh battery stays the same with 25W charging.
It ships with Android 16 and One UI 8, and Samsung promises 7 years of OS and security updates.
It comes in Jet Black, Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, and a Mint colour exclusive to Samsung.com. Pricing starts at $1,999.99 for the 12/256GB model, a $100 hike from last year.
Pre-orders come with trade-in offers worth up to $1,150.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 keeps its familiar design but is now slimmer when folded at 13.7mm, down from 14.9mm. It’s also a gram heavier, but the real standout is the much larger 4.1-inch cover display, a major step up from last year’s 3.4-inch panel. It also features 2,600 nits peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. The main screen also grows slightly, now at 6.9 inches.
Software for the cover display gets some fresh features like Now Bar, Now Brief, and Gemini Live, although it still lags behind Motorola’s Razr when it comes to full third-party app support. It ships with One UI 8 and supports the Multistar shortcut for easier customisation.
This year, Samsung switches to its in-house Exynos 2500 chip, its first on a 3nm process, aiming for better efficiency.
The Flip 7 keeps the 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, but now supports 10-bit HDR video and a new Zoom Slider for better zoom control. Battery size increases to 4,300mAh, but charging remains capped at 25W.
There is also Samsung DeX support finally available on the Flip lineup, allowing users to connect the phone to a monitor for a desktop-like experience.
The Flip 7 price starts at $1,100. It’s available in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and a Mint option exclusive to Samsung.com, with 256GB or 512GB storage.
Samsung is offering its new 7-year update promise for both foldables, giving users longer-term software peace of mind.
Both phones are available for pre-order via Samsung.com, Best Buy, and Amazon, with open sales starting July 25th.
Samsung Unveils More Affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE at $899
Samsung has finally made its foldable phones a bit more budget-friendly by launching the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It’s an FE (Fan Edition) version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and brings many of the same features while cutting back on some extras to hit a lower price point.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is basically a trimmed-down version of the regular Flip 7. It keeps the essentials but skips on some premium features. Still, what you get for the price is pretty solid.
Powering the Flip 7 FE is Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chipset, the same one used in the standard Flip 7. It comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. The regular Flip 7 offers more RAM options, but performance-wise, both should feel quite similar in daily use.
On the front, you still get a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X inner display, just like the main Flip 7. The outer cover screen, however, is smaller. It’s the same size as what we saw on the Flip 6.
Battery capacity has also been slightly reduced. The Flip 7 FE packs a 4,000mAh battery, which is 300mAh less than the Flip 7. But it still supports 25W fast charging and Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, so it should hold up fine in daily use.
Camera-wise, the FE version includes two rear sensors, a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide.
The Flip 7 FE will run Android 16 right out of the box, just like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. This marks the first time Samsung is shipping foldables with a new version of Android at launch, and it means One UI 8 is likely arriving soon.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE comes in two colours, Black and White. The price for this one starts at $899. It’s now up for pre-order on Samsung’s official website. If you order early, you can get a $50 credit (valid for 30 minutes after checkout), free storage upgrade, and enhanced trade-in offers.
