Galaxy Z Flip 7 release date, price and features
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is here!
The phone is available in four colors (one of which, Samsung.com-exclusive) and looks amazing. It's thin, light, but still durable, and has a refined hinge that now takes up less space. Even the camera module has been redesigned slightly to protrude less and match the slim-chic aesthetic better.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 camera
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with the same camera system, so there's technically not a hardware upgrade in this department.
- 50 MP main camera, Dual Pixel AF, OIS, F1.8, Pixel size: 1.0μm
- 12 MP ultra-wide camera, F2.2, Pixel size: 1.12μm, FOV: 123˚
- 10 MP selfie camera, F2.2, Pixel size: 1.12μm, FOV: 85˚
In terms of features, that's where the upgrades are more noticeable. Samsung's ProVisual Engine optimizes every scene for detail shots without manual adjustments needed. There's also Enhanced Nightography, which helps you capture vivid photos in low-light scenes with minimal noise and blurriness.
Real-Time Filters are available on the FlexWindow (the cover screen) and you can preview FlexCam shots instantly. You can zoom in and out with a swipe from the FlexWindow as well.
Meanwhile, Dual Preview lets you and the subject of whom you're taking a photo see the composition live on the FlexWindow. There's also Portrait Studio in Photo Assist for pet moments.

When we tested the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with our new camera benchmarks, we found that it improved in the regular photography department but slightly downgraded in video in comparison to its predecessor:
However, phones like the Galaxy S24 were able to beat the Flip 6's performance.

We're impatiently waiting to review the Z Flip 7 and see how much better it does.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 storage
The clamshell comes with 12GB of storage (no 16GB variant or anything magical to expect here), and the standard 256GB and 512GB of non-expandable storage. We're not getting a 1TB option.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 storage capacity:
- 256 GB
- 512 GB
Galaxy Z Flip 7 design
The Galaxy Z Flip 7's design is reminiscent of its predecessor but more refined. The phone is now thinner, measuring 13.7mm when folded, which makes it the slimmest Galaxy Z Flip yet. Meanwhile, the weight is around the same as the Flip 6: 188g (vs 187 on the Flip 6).
The Armor FlexHinge is now redesigned and is more durable, which should ensure smoother folds and better longevity. The Armor Aluminum Frame, in the meantime, provides a tough exterior, while the cover and back are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is available in four colors (one exclusive): Blue Shadow, Jet-black, Coral-red, and Mint, which is the exclusive one, available for purchase only from Samsung.com.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 display
| Galaxy Z Flip | Screen size | Brightness |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 | 6.9 inches | 2,600 |
| Galaxy Z Flip 6 | 6.7 inches | 2,600 |
In the display department, there are notable upgrades this year. First off, the main display (the foldable one) has grown from 6.7 to 6.9 inches (still Dynamic AMOLED 2X). It's bigger but the phone still feels compact thanks to its light and thin body.
The cover screen has also expanded (to 4.1 inches) and is now edge-to-edge, equipped with more functionality than before. It's also the brightest FlexWindow yet, with up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. There's also Vision Booster now for the FlexWindow, which should help you see it more clearly even in direct sunlight.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 battery
According to Samsung, with this new battery, the Flip can handle up to 31 hours of video play time on a single charge, which is great news.
In the charging department, things are the same with 25W charging.
The predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, scored reliably in our extensive battery tests and managed to pull 16 hours and 10 minutes in web browsing, 9 hours and 8 minutes in video streaming, and 10 hours and 20 minutes on gaming, putting it on par with the vanilla Galaxy S24 more or less, but worse than phones like the Razr+.
We'll have to wait and see how the bigger battery handles our intense battery life tests.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 features and software
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with One UI 8 (based on Android 16) straight out of the box. But mostly, updates in the software department are focused on using the FlexWindow to the fullest.
Now, with Galaxy AI, you can search with your voice, get answers, and act on them directly from the cover screen of the Flip phone. You also get curated wallpaper suggestions, emoji, color and widget customization for the Flex Window.
But there's more. Gemini Live is now available on the cover screen, which means you can do stuff hands-free with the help of AI. There's also camera sharing with Gemini Live: you point your camera and get advice from the AI.
The Now Bar, a feature Samsung introduced with One UI 7, now shows real-time app activity, podcast progress, and alerts on the cover screen, and gets a broader integration with other apps. Meanwhile, Now Brief's updates are more personalized with traffic, reminders, events, and even fitness summaries.
Also, the FlexWindow's clock adapts to complement your wallpaper, wrapping around the subject in your photo.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 hardware and specs
Galaxy Z Flip 7's specs:
Overall, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is shaping up to be a premium clamshell phone when it comes to specs. Of course, its main point of attractiveness is the folding abilities and the inherent portability that comes with those, but it should nevertheless offer premium power.
Meanwhile, this is the first time Samsung is using its own Exynos chip on a foldable. The Exynos 2500 should deliver enough power for simple tasks like browsing to complex Galaxy AI generations.
- CPU: Exynos 2500
- RAM: 12 GB
- Battery: 4,300 mAh
- Charging: 25 wired, wireless support as well
- Storage: 256GB, 512GB
- Camera setup: 50 MP main, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP selfie
