NEW YORK – July 9, 2025 – Samsung just dropped what might be the most compelling flip phone we've seen yet – the Galaxy Z Flip7. And honestly? This little powerhouse is making a serious case for why foldables aren't just a gimmick anymore.
The FlexWindow Gets a Massive Upgrade
Let's talk about the star of the show: that FlexWindow. Samsung has bumped it up to a whopping 4.1 inches, and it's now edge-to-edge. That's huge for a cover screen, and it changes everything about how you'll actually use this phone day-to-day.
You can fire off quick texts, check your calendar, and – here's the kicker – take seriously good selfies without even opening the phone. The display cranks out 2,600 nits of brightness with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, so you're not squinting at a dim screen when you're out in the sun.
Thinner, Lighter, But Way More Capable
Here's where Samsung really nailed it: they've made the Z Flip7 thinner and lighter than ever (just 188 grams and 13.7mm when folded), but somehow packed in a bigger 4,300mAh battery. That's the largest battery they've ever squeezed into a Flip phone, giving you up to 31 hours of video playback. Finally, a flip phone that won't die on you by dinner time.
The build quality looks solid too – Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back, with Samsung's new Armor FlexHinge that's supposedly smoother and more durable than before. The Armor Aluminum frame should handle those inevitable drops when you're juggling coffee and trying to answer a call.
AI That Actually Makes Sense
Now here's where things get interesting. Samsung has integrated Gemini Live directly into the FlexWindow, and it's not just a gimmick. You can literally talk to your phone while it's closed and get stuff done. Planning a trip? Just tell Gemini what you need, and it'll pull up your flight details from Samsung Wallet, set airport reminders, and even find restaurants at your destination.
The camera sharing feature is particularly clever – point your camera at two outfits and ask which one's better for Seoul weather. It's like having that friend who always knows what looks good, except it's your phone.
The Now Bar keeps you updated on real-time app activity right on the cover screen, while Now Brief gives you personalized daily updates including traffic, reminders, and even music recommendations based on your subscriptions.
Photography That Punches Above Its Weight
The camera setup is surprisingly robust for a flip phone. You've got a 50MP main camera and 12MP ultra-wide lens that deliver flagship-level quality. The Enhanced Nightography means you can actually take decent photos in low light without everything looking like a grainy mess.
But the real party trick is the FlexCam with Real-Time Filters and a new Zoom Slider. You can preview your shots instantly and adjust zoom with a simple swipe – perfect for getting that full outfit shot or squeezing everyone into a group selfie.
The FE Alternative
Samsung's also launching the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE for those who want the foldable experience without the premium price tag. It's got a 6.7-inch main display and 50MP FlexCam, though it lacks some of the flagship features. Starting at RM 3,999, it's a solid entry point into the foldable world.
The Bottom Line
The Galaxy Z Flip7 starts at RM 4,999 in Malaysia and will be available from August 1st. With its massive FlexWindow upgrade, meaningful AI integration, and impressive battery life, this might finally be the flip phone that makes foldables feel essential rather than experimental.
Pre-orders kick off July 9th, and honestly? If you've been waiting for a foldable that actually makes sense for daily use, this might be it.
