At the Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 event, alongside the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung also introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and here’s why many people actually prefer the Flip over the Fold:
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a vibrant 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering a premium and immersive viewing experience whether you’re browsing, watching videos, or gaming. Thanks to its clamshell design, the phone folds down into a compact square that fits easily into your pocket. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers a larger 7.6 inch display that’s perfect for multitasking and productivity, catering to users who want a tablet-like workspace rather than a phone that fits comfortably in one hand.
One of the biggest draws is the enhanced Flex Window: the external display, which has grown larger and smarter. It now supports full app widgets, customizable clock faces, quick replies, and even hands-free selfies using the main camera, all without opening the phone.
Where the Fold 7 pulls ahead is the camera setup, it has three lenses, including a telephoto for zoom shots. The Flip 7 sticks with two rear cameras, which still deliver great results (especially with Flex Mode), but you don’t get the same versatility as with the Fold.
Both phones share the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and support up to 12GB of RAM with UFS 4.0 storage, meaning performance is nearly identical. Whether you’re gaming or editing videos, both deliver smooth.
As for durability, Samsung has stepped it up on both models. The hinges are sturdier, the designs are slimmer, and they feel more polished overall. But again, the Flip just feels more compact and casual — it’s stylish and fun to use, while the Fold is more about power and productivity.
Both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be officially released on July 24, 2025. Pre-orders opened earlier, starting on July 10, through Samsung’s website and select retail partners. You’ll be able to purchase the Galaxy Z Flip 7 starting at $1,099 USD for the 256GB model, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. the more budget-friendly version. will be available from $999 USD. Both models come in multiple colors and storage options, and Samsung is offering trade-in bonuses and exclusive bundles for early buyers.
