10 Things You Need to Know About the Newly Launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

• Great guide for anyone stopping to think either about upgrading an older Z Flip toward the 7 or entering the foldable trend for the first time.
• It covers major design, camera, battery, and performance changes that matter for everyday use so that one can easily decide if the Flip7 fits their lifestyle.

1. The FlexWindow Has Been Significantly Upgraded

The Galaxy Z Flip7 has a FlexWindow display that’s approximately 116% larger relative to the Z Flip6. The cover screen is bigger and more functional externally; it’s now an edge-to-edge 4.1-inch display.

You can reply to texts, access widgets, control your media, and use camera previews without opening the phone.

This new design improves multitasking and allows you to get more done without unfolding the device.

2. Galaxy AI Features Are Fully Integrated

Flip7 acts as a Mobile with Galaxy AI, packing around eight tools designed to make some everyday activities a little bit easier. 

• Circle to Search: Circle any item on your screen and get instant Google Search results.
• Live Translate: Translate voice or text calls in real-time. Supports over 13 languages at launch.
• Photo Assist: Use AI-powered editing to remove reflections, adjust shadows, and fix images in seconds.

Since these tools are integrated with the native OS and apps, no third-party installation is required.

3. A Major Boost to Hardware Performance

Now fitted with the Exynos 2500 chipset, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is equipped with Samsung’s latest application processor aimed at enhancing performance and widening AI integration.

Hardware Specs Overview

This chipset enables faster app switching, intelligent power use, and enhancements across CPU, GPU, and NPU functions.

4. Compact Design Still Stands Out

Samsung continues its commitment to portability. The Flip7 maintains the vertical folding design but with a slimmer and lighter chassis. It is now the slimmest Galaxy Z Flip yet, weighing only 188 grams.

The updated hinge allows for over 200,000 folds, based on internal testing verified by TÜV Rheinland, providing reassurance on durability.

When folded, the Flip7 fits easily into small pockets and bags, making it ideal for users on the go.

5. The Camera System is Built for Versatility

Flip7 comes with a 50MP wide-angle rear camera and a 12MP ultra-wide rear camera, along with a 10MP front camera. What makes the setup unique is the FlexCam mode.

This mode lets you place the phone on any surface at a 90-degree angle for hands-free recording, vlogging, or timed photography.

Content creators and remote workers will appreciate this hands-free flexibility, especially in travel and urban environments.

6. AI-Driven Battery Optimisation

The Flip7 is equipped with a 4,300mAh typical battery (rated at 4,174mAh), a significant upgrade over its predecessor. AI tools improve power efficiency by managing background activity and app behaviour.

Charging supports:

• 25W wired fast charging
• 15W wireless charging
• Wireless PowerShare for charging other devices

With smart power management and a larger battery, the Flip7 can support a full day of use under mixed conditions.

7. Software Lifecycle Supports Long-Term Use

Samsung promises seven years of Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates for the Galaxy Z Flip7.

The phone ships with Android 16 and One UI 8.

Software features include:

• Adaptive widgets based on your usage
• App continuity between FlexWindow and the main screen
• Multi-window mode for multitasking

This extended support window makes the Flip7 a strong investment for users prioritising longevity.

8. Pricing and Market Availability

The Galaxy Z Flip7 is available in major global markets. Pre-orders began on July 9, 2025, with general availability from July 25.

Regional pricing (based on market expectations and past models):

• United Kingdom: £1,049 (unconfirmed)

Comparison: Flip7 vs Market Rivals

9. Use Cases Show Global Utility

Flip7 isn’t just a gadget. It serves different lifestyles effectively:

• Business travellers use Live Translate on international calls.
• Content creators use FlexCam to shoot reels and vlogs.
• Students use the FlexWindow to track assignments and notifications without distractions.

10. Is It Worth the Upgrade?

The Flip7 introduces key upgrades over Flip4, including a significantly larger FlexWindow, AI-native features, a new processor, and a larger battery.

If you’re using a Flip6, the enhancements in usability and performance may still be worth the upgrade, depending on your usage patterns.

For those entering the foldables market, the Flip7 offers a well-rounded, forward-looking experience.
