Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE hands-on: The 'cheaper' foldable phone got me very confused
JUL 9 – Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE offers foldable design and upgraded software at $900, the only Samsung foldable under $1,000 against Motorola Razr competition, according to reviews.
- At the Samsung Unpacked event held at Brooklyn Navy Yard, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a more affordable version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
- Samsung introduced the Flip 7 FE as a budget foldable phone priced at $899.99 to compete with increasing Motorola Razr competition and fill the sub-$1,000 market gap.
- The Flip 7 FE shares design and some specs with the Flip 6, featuring a 3.4-inch cover screen, 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, a 4,000 mAh battery, and the Exynos 2400 chipset, which disappointed Galaxy S24 buyers outside the US.
- The Flip 7 FE has less RAM and storage than the Flip 7, smaller cover screen, and lacks full-screen app support on the cover display, starting at $899 compared to the Flip 7's $1,099.99 price point.
- The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE can now be reserved in Black and White ahead of its official release on July 25, though some reviewers question whether its pricing warrants choosing it over the more feature-rich Flip 7 or a discounted Flip 6 from last year.
