Galaxy Z Flip 7 Debuts with Larger Cover Screen, Joined by Affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

The South Korean tech giant has made a few small but noticeable changes to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung’s older Galaxy Z Flip 6 was one of the smaller flip phones with a smaller 6.7-inch main folding display. But the Galaxy Z Flip 7 bumps it up to a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 2600 nits of peak brightness.

Even the cover screen is getting taller as well, with a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow screen that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This is finally an edge-to-edge screen like other modern flip phones. However, the cover panel only has a 1048 x 948 pixel resolution and either a 60Hz/120Hz refresh rate.

On the design front, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 13.7mm when folded (6.5mm unfolded) and weighs relatively light at 188 grams. While this is thicker than the Z Flip 6, the hinge has gotten thinner and more durable thanks to the new Armor FlexHinge and Armor Aluminum Frame. You also get an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance.

Samsung has made a major shift for the first time with its foldable smartphone with the Flip models. Snapdragon had powered all Samsung foldables so far, but the Galaxy Z Flip 7 skips the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Z Fold 7 with the Exynos 2500 SoC that could disappoint some fans of Samsung’s flip phones.

The battery is getting a bump from 4,000mAh from the Z Fold 6 to a 4,300mAh cell on the Z Fold 7, although the fast charging rate is still 25W (with 15W wireless charging). For optics, the rear has a 50MP main camera (OIS, F/1.8, 1.0μm) that is paired with a 12MP ultra wide angle lens (F/2.2, 1.12μm), with the front housing a 10MP selfie shooter (F2.2, 1.12μm). Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, stereo speaker with Dolby Atmos, WiFi 7, Android 16 OS based One UI 8 custom skin out of the box, and Galaxy AI.

The popular Fan Edition series has finally made its way to foldables, bringing cutting edge tech with a more affordable price tag. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a new entry in the Z Flip family. It measures 14.9mm when folded (6.9mm when unfolded) and weighs 187 grams. For protection against the elements, there is an IP48 rating.

Similar to the Z Flip 6, the FE model has a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity Flex main display with an FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, along with a 3.4-inch HD Super AMOLED cover panel with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and a 60Hz refresh rate.

Samsung equips the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE with the older Exynos 2400 SoC. It is powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The camera system between the regular Z Flip 7 and FE variant is identical. Other notable features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, NFC, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Galaxy AI.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 7 was announced in multiple color options, which include Blue Shadow, Jet-Black, Coral-red and Mint, but the Mint variant is exclusive to Samsung’s official website. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE arrives in just Black and White. The brand has started pre-orders for these devices, with the first sale kicking off on July 25.
