Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

This yearâs Samsung foldable lineup is its biggest hardware overhaul in years. While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the lightest book-style foldable on the market right now, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also more than just another upgrade. Itâs the most polished iteration of the companyâs clamshell yet, which also manages to balance style with meaningful upgrades. Moreover, it undercuts the $1,300 Motorola Razr Ultra with its $1,100 starting price.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers bigger screens, a slimmer chassis, better battery life, smarter AI features, and subtle but important durability improvements. It is not a flashy device but one that has meaningful additions. Here are the five Galaxy Z Flip 7 upgrades that actually make a difference.
1. The Biggest Cover Screen (With One Major Limitation)

The Galaxy Z Flip 7âs 4.1-inch AMOLED FlexWindow is the largest cover screen Samsung has ever put on a Flip phone. It is a major upgrade from the 3.4-inch screen on the Flip 6. Samsung didnât make the phone physically bigger to achieve this. It has an all-screen outer display now, which is sharper and offers the same 120Hz refresh rate (up from 60Hz on Flip 6) as the inner screen.
However, Samsung doesnât let you take advantage of the bigger space right out of the box. Unlike the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, you still need to adjust phone settings to make the most of Galaxy Z Flip 7âs big cover screen. Hereâs what you need to do to realize its full potential.
2. Bigger Inner Screen With Almost No Crease

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 6.9-inch display when unfolded, which has slimmer bezels to reach the bigger screen size. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and is rated to reach 2,600 nits of peak brightness for supported HDR content.
It is better than ever, thanks to Samsungâs new hinge design, which minimizes the crease. In fact, it is one of the smallest creases on a foldable phone that you can find right now â a big change from the Z Flip 6âs deep crease.
3. Slimmer And Still Pocketable
Samsung shaved the folded thickness down to 13.7mm (from 14.9mm) and the open profile to 6.5mm (from 6.9mm), while keeping the weight at 188g (1 gram heavier than Flip 6). That might sound like small numbers, but it should make a noticeable difference in daily use.
The Flip 7 sits more comfortably in your hand and slides into a pocket without creating as much of a bulge. It has IP48 dust and water resistance and sports Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the outside. However, its flat sides make it less easy to unfold compared to the Razr Ultra, though they contribute to a more rigid frame design.
4. Bigger Battery
One of the Flip seriesâ biggest criticisms has been battery life, but the Flip 7 addresses it head-on. It packs a bigger cell than the base Galaxy S25. The new Flip 7 has a 4,300mAh battery capacity, up from 4,000mAh on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. It supports 25W wired charging and modest wireless charging speeds.
The Exynos 2500 SoC is efficient enough to make the latest Flip a one-day phone. However, the device can get warm during extended camera recording or gaming.
5. Galaxy AI And Google Gemini Live

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is one of the most naturally capable AI phones. Googleâs Gemini Live adds to Samsungâs already-polished Galaxy AI suite of features. You can converse with the phone to solve problems, share your screen, or even point it at a cluttered room and ask for help cleaning it.
Samsungâs latest flip phone runs One UI 8, based on Android 16. It is promised to receive seven years of OS and security updates.
As for the optics, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 sports a dual-camera setup on its cover screen. You get the same 50MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide sensor, which offer satisfactory performance and arenât a big upgrade from its predecessor. When unfolded, you get a 10MP selfie shooter for video calls.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Price, Offers And Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is priced at $1,099 / INR 1,09,000 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. However, the company is currently offering a free storage upgrade, so you can purchase the 512GB variant for $1,100.
The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 is now available for purchase through all major online and offline sellers worldwide.
