Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE brings the signature clamshell foldable design of Samsung’s flagship Z Flip series to a more accessible price point,
starting at $899 for the 8 GB/128 GB model and $959 for 8 GB/256 GB. Unveiled at the July 9, 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event and available July 25.
Design & Display
Form Factor: Retains the pocket‑friendly clamshell design that folds down to easily slip into pockets or small bags.
Main Screen: 6.7‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at FHD+ (2,640 × 1,080) with an adaptive 1–120 Hz refresh rate offers smooth scrolling and crisp visuals.
The 22:9 aspect ratio and minimal bezels make for an immersive experience, and the fold‑crease is far less noticeable during normal use.
Cover Display: A 3.4‑inch Super AMOLED external screen (720 × 748) lets you check notifications, control music, preview selfies in FlexCam mode, a
nd access quick settings without unfolding.
Build Quality: Armor Frame hinge and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 deliver durability and a premium feel, setting it apart from budget foldables.
Performance & Software
Chipset & Memory: Powered by the mid‑range Exynos 2400 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM, it handles everyday tasks—social media,
web browsing, light gaming, and multitasking—smoothly, with only a slight performance drop compared to the flagship Exynos 2500 in the Z Flip 7.
Software: Ships with One UI 8 on Android 16, bringing refined FlexMode features that let apps adapt when the device is partially folded,
plus AI‑driven camera enhancements. Wireless Samsung DeX support enables a desktop‑like experience on external displays.
Camera System
Main & Ultra‑Wide: A 50 MP primary sensor teamed with a 12 MP ultrawide lens covers most shooting scenarios, from daylight photography to landscapes.
FlexCam: Allows hands‑free selfies and vlogs by using the cover display as a viewfinder when the phone is set at a 90° angle in FlexMode. Front Camera: A 10 MP under‑display selfie camera handles video calls and standard self‑portrait shots.
Software Tricks: Nightography enhancements improve low‑light captures, and Dual Preview helps frame group shots when one camera serves both photographer and subject.
Battery & Charging
Capacity & Endurance: Packs a 4,000 mAh battery, slightly smaller than the flagship model’s 4,300 mAh cell, yet sufficient for a full day of mixed usage—calls,
messaging, light video streaming, and social media. Charging Options: Supports 25 W Super Fast Charging (wired), 15 W Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, and W Wireless Power Share to top up accessories.
Note: charger sold separately.
Pricing Edge
At $899, it revives the sub‑$1,000 foldable tier, offering flagship design cues and core features without the premium price tag.
Comparisons: Last year’s Z Flip 6 often appears on sale near this price, sometimes with better specs like extra memory or storage.
Motorola’s Razr series undercuts the FE by $200–$300 but may lack Samsung’s software polish and ecosystem integration.
Conclusion
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is Samsung’s most budget‑friendly foldable yet, delivering the hallmark flip‑phone form factor with a vibrant main display, versatile cameras,
and refined software. Although it makes concessions in chipset performance, RAM, and battery capacity versus the flagship Flip 7,
it retains the core features that make foldables appealing—style, compactness, and innovation—at a price point more within reach for many.
