Samsung’s foldables just got a serious glow-up in 2025. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 aren’t radical redesigns, but they bring enough polish and upgrades to finally feel like complete, no-compromise devices. Let’s break it down.



🔹 Design & Build

Z Fold7 is slimmer and lighter than ever—only 8.9 mm thick when folded and just 4.2 mm when open. Weighing 215 g, it now feels more like a regular phone than a clunky prototype. It’s wrapped in Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and an Armor Aluminum frame for top-notch durability.

Z Flip7 also trims down further and adds a larger 4.1″ FlexWindow cover screen. Both phones look and feel premium, with refined hinge mechanics and IPX8 water resistance.

🔹 Display

Fold7 gives you a 6.5″ external display and a massive 8″ inner AMOLED screen—both pushing 120 Hz refresh rates with up to 2,600 nits brightness. Smooth, vibrant, and sharp across the board.

Flip7 retains the tall 6.9″ inner screen, but the real hero here is the new FlexWindow. It’s now useful for running full apps like Google Gemini, checking notifications, or even framing photos—without opening the phone.

🔹 Camera

The Fold7 is stacked with a 200 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide, and a 3× telephoto lens. The shots are sharp, colors are true, and Samsung’s processing has improved. Night shots and zoomed photos both hold up well.

The Flip7 rocks a 50 MP main cam and a 12 MP ultrawide. Thanks to AI tricks like Auto Zoom and FlexCam, it punches above its size. It’s not S-series level, but it’s the best Flip camera setup yet.

🔹 Performance & Software

Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, with 12 GB RAM (or 16 GB on the Fold7’s 1 TB variant). They’re ultra-fast and great for multitasking, gaming, or video editing. The Fold7 even supports advanced multitasking with multiple windows on the big screen.

New Galaxy AI features like Circle to Search, instant object removal, and live translation feel smooth and genuinely useful in daily life. One UI 8 over Android 16 is polished, stable, and finally optimized for foldables.

One bummer? No S Pen support on the Fold7 this year, which will annoy stylus fans. Samsung says usage stats didn’t justify keeping it.

🔹 Battery Life & Charging

  • Fold7: 4,400 mAh battery, 25 W fast charging.

  • Flip7: 3,700 mAh, also with 25 W wired charging.

No major gains here, but both devices comfortably last a full day unless you push them hard with gaming or camera use. Charging is okay but not blazing fast.

🔹 Verdict

Fold7 is Samsung’s most refined foldable yet—finally thin, light, and powerful without major compromises. It’s practically a Galaxy Ultra that folds in half.

Flip7 is no longer just a style statement—it’s smart, powerful, and more useful with that FlexWindow. Easily the best clamshell foldable on the market right now.
