Samsung has just released its latest flip-style foldable smartphone, and it comes with some exciting changes that might spark debate among users. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the first device of its kind to feature an Exynos 2500 SoC, unless you count the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. It offers models equipped with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and storage choices of either 256 GB or 512 GB. Thankfully, there are no 8 GB options this time around.
Display Enhancements
On the other hand, the device now boasts a slightly larger 6.9-inch main display with a resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels, along with a 4.1-inch cover display that has a resolution of 1,048 x 948. Both screens utilize Super AMOLED technology and support a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, along with a peak brightness of 2,800 nits. Additionally, the cover display has been designed to blend smoothly with the two rear camera modules, a style we’ve seen previously in Motorola’s foldable devices. This design will make the Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand out from its predecessors.
Camera Setup
Focusing on the cameras, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera. For selfies and video calls, it uses a 10 MP front-facing sensor. There haven’t been significant changes to the camera system, meaning users will need to rely on software to enhance their photos. The foldable is powered by a 4,300 mAh battery, but it still only supports charging at 25 Watts. The increase in battery capacity over the Flip 6 could be negated by the Exynos SoC’s less efficient power management.
Additional Specifications
In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G connectivity, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and dual-SIM support (nano SIM plus e-SIM). It also features a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 layer, IP48 water and dust resistance, and an aluminum frame. Customers can choose from three color options: Blue Shadow, Jet Black, and Coral Red, with a fourth Mint version available exclusively through Samsung’s store. The dimensions are 166.7 mm x 75.02 mm x 6.5 mm, and it weighs 188 grams.
You can now pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 7, with prices starting at €1,199 for the 256 GB model and €1,399 for the 512 GB variant. Pre-orders are open, and general availability is set to begin on July 24. Samsung offers different pre-order bonuses depending on the market, so it’s a good idea to check your local website for specific details. One of the bonuses includes a free storage upgrade (pay for 256 GB and receive 512 GB), but this may not be offered everywhere.
