Samsung Unveils the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7

I had the incredible opportunity to attend the exclusive preview and hands-on review of Samsung's latest innovations, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, in Manila on July 4, 2025. As a user of the Galaxy Z Flip4, I was particularly excited to experience these new devices up close and personal. Here’s a recap of my impressions from the event.

First Impressions: Design and Build Quality

Galaxy Z Fold7

Upon holding the Galaxy Z Fold7, I was immediately amazed by its sleek and premium feel. Weighing just 215g and with a folded thickness of 8.9mm, it felt surprisingly light and comfortable in my hands. The 8-inch AMOLED main display was stunning—bright, vibrant, and immersive. The 200MP Ultra Camera was another highlight, promising exceptional photography capabilities.

Galaxy Z Flip7

The Galaxy Z Flip7, on the other hand, felt like a natural evolution of the Flip series. The 4.1-inch AMOLED FlexWindow was larger and more responsive than ever, making it a joy to interact with. The durability enhancements, including Gorilla Glass Victus® 2 and an upgraded FlexHinge, gave me confidence that this device could withstand daily use without compromising style.

Features That Stand Out

AI-Enhanced Productivity

Both devices showcased impressive AI capabilities. The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor delivered seamless performance, and features like Generative Edit and Photo Assist made content creation a breeze. I was particularly impressed by the One UI 8 interface, which felt intuitive and responsive.

Flexibility and Multitasking

The Z Fold7 excelled in multitasking, allowing me to run multiple apps side by side effortlessly. The Split View AI Results feature was a game-changer, enabling me to manage tasks more efficiently. Meanwhile, the Z Flip7 offered a unique experience with its FlexCam, allowing for creative angles and real-time filters that will surely appeal to social media enthusiasts.

Battery Life and Performance

Both devices boasted impressive battery life. The Flip7’s 4,300mAh battery promises up to 31 hours of video playback, which is fantastic for someone always on the go. Additionally, the integration of Samsung DeX turned the Flip7 into a mini workstation during the demo, showcasing its versatility for productivity.

A Bright Future for Foldables

Samsung continues to push the boundaries of what foldable smartphones can do, blending cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design. The enhancements in durability, display quality, and AI functionality make it a compelling upgrade.

There's also a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE

Bringing the foldable experience to even more users, Samsung also announced Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Compact when folded and expansive when opened, Galaxy Z Flip7 FE features a 6.7-inch Main Display for an immersive viewing experience. The 50MP FlexCam enables high-quality selfies and video in Flex Mode, letting users capture content hands-free, without even opening the device. Now Brief surfaces helpful updates - including weather, daily schedules and commute alerts - on the cover screen, in a layout optimized for Galaxy Z Flip7 FE’s compact form. Available in Black and White, it delivers a minimalist look that complements its intelligent, foldable design.
