At the highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event in New York, Samsung introduced the stunning new Galaxy Z Flip7 along with its budget-friendly counterpart, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. These innovative clamshell-style foldable smartphones showcase significant enhancements in display, performance, battery life, and AI capabilities.
Introducing the Galaxy Z Flip7
The Galaxy Z Flip7 boasts Samsung’s largest and brightest FlexWindow to date. Its impressive 4.1-inch Super AMOLED cover screen provides edge-to-edge functionality, enabling users to effortlessly type messages, check schedules, and snap high-quality selfies—all without the need to open the device. With a peak brightness of 2600 nits, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Vision Booster technology, visibility is optimized even in bright sunlight.
On the inside, the device features a remarkable 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a stunning 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, ensuring an immersive viewing experience.
Despite its array of features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 remains impressively slim, weighing only 188 grams and measuring just 13.7mm thick when folded, making it the slimmest Galaxy Flip yet.
Samsung has reinforced the durability of the Flip7 with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back, complemented by a robust Armor Aluminum Frame. The new FlexHinge is slimmer and crafted from high-strength materials for smoother folding and enhanced longevity.
Powered by the cutting-edge Exynos 2500 3nm deca-core processor designed specifically for Galaxy devices, the Flip7 delivers remarkable performance improvements across CPU, GPU, and AI tasks compared to its predecessor, the Flip6.
For the first time, Samsung DeX is available on a Flip phone, transforming the Flip7 into a portable workstation when connected to an external display—perfect for productivity on the go.
Operating on Android 16 with One UI 8, the Flip7 introduces a suite of Galaxy AI features directly accessible from the cover screen, including:
- Gemini Live: Available on the FlexWindow, this feature allows you to conduct voice searches or inquire about flight statuses, restaurants, and more.
- Now Bar and Now Brief: These provide real-time app updates, reminders, traffic information, and health statistics.
- FlexWindow Personalization: Offers smart wallpaper suggestions and an adaptable clock that harmonizes with your background.
Furthermore, Samsung has integrated advanced camera tools such as Real-Time Filters, Zoom Slider, Dual Preview, and Portrait Studio. Users can edit, erase, or enhance their photos directly from the FlexWindow using Photo Assist.
The Z Flip7 features a versatile 50MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP front camera for stunning selfies. Enhanced Nightography, 10-bit HDR video recording, and flex-mode camera tools empower users to capture beautiful images in any lighting condition.
Equipped with a robust 4300mAh battery, Samsung claims the Flip7 can deliver up to 31 hours of video playback on a single charge. It supports 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging capabilities.
Unveiling the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE
Samsung also launched the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, an accessible foldable device that retains the core flip experience. It features a 6.7-inch main AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 425ppi pixel density, alongside a 3.4-inch cover display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Powering the Flip7 FE is the Exynos 2400 processor with Xclipse 940 GPU. The device is equipped with 8GB of RAM and options for up to 256GB of internal storage.
The Flip7 FE shares the same camera specifications as the Z Flip7, featuring a dual rear camera setup (50MP + 12MP) and a 10MP front camera, along with Android 16 and One UI 8. Users will enjoy Now Brief updates on the smaller cover screen and the convenience of hands-free FlexCam shooting.
With a 4000mAh battery, the Flip7 FE supports 25W fast charging, 15W Qi wireless charging, and Wireless PowerShare reverse charging capabilities. Additionally, it is rated IP48 for water resistance.
Both the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE come with Samsung’s latest Knox security features, including Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), app-specific secure storage, and post-quantum cryptography in Secure Wi-Fi.
