Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

The most stylish foldable on the market, which transforms into a true workhorse with its new 4.1-inch "Flex Window" cover display and the first-time support for Samsung DeX. While the design impresses with its seamless closure and new Pantone colors, the camera hardware still lags behind the S26 series. Those looking for an ultra-compact smartphone for social media and productivity will find the most rounded flip concept available right now.

Classification and Target Audience

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the lifestyle smartphone for creators and trendsetters. The biggest innovation is the cover display, which now occupies the entire upper half and allows operation without unfolding. Compared to the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, Samsung offers more stable software and a better update guarantee (7 years).

Display and Housing

The 6.9-inch main display is now even brighter and more resistant to creasing. The outer display (Flex Window) measures 4.1 inches and allows for complete typing of emails and messages. The housing is waterproof and available in exclusive colors like "Gibraltar Sea" in collaboration with Pantone.

Performance and Hardware

The device is powered (in Europe) by the Exynos 2500, paired with 12 GB of RAM. A first for the Flip series is the support for Samsung DeX, allowing the smartphone to be connected to a monitor via cable as a PC replacement. The 4,300 mAh battery lasts for about 31 hours of video playback.

Video and Camera System

The main camera has a resolution of 50 MP, complemented by a 12 MP ultra-wide lens. A significant advantage is the "Selfie Mode" via the outer display, which allows the use of the main camera for high-resolution self-portraits. Videos are stabilized in 4K but cannot match the zoom quality of the S26.

Software and Galaxy AI

In addition to Android 16, the Flip 7 offers special AI widgets for the cover display. Galaxy AI assists in quickly responding to messages via voice command and provides generative image editing directly in the gallery.

Conclusion and Price-Performance Ratio

Starting at around €799, the Flip 7 is significantly more affordable than the Fold 7 or the S26 Ultra. It offers an excellent price-performance ratio for those who prioritize design and compactness over maximum camera hardware.
