Do two Samsung Galaxy Z Flip devices outperform one another?

At a Samsung press preview, I held the fresh Turn 7 Samsung Z in one side and the Turn 7 Samsung Z FE in the other. That’s the question I kept pondering. Motorola, one of the foldable phone maker’s competitors, has a successful strategy that has worked with it, with Razr models starting as low as$ 700 and up to$ 1,300.

The new Turn 7 Samsung Z has a completely innovative design, including a 4. 1-inch include display, a 6. 9-inch main screen, a larger device, and a body that is thinner than the Galaxy Z Flip 6 from the previous year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 was also unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked occurrence, but it is not nearly as slim.

The Turn 7 Samsung Z FE, which stands for supporter edition, has the same traditional 3. 4-inch support display as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and has a camera button cutout for its devices. It costs$ 900. People will undoubtedly be tempted to use the Flip 7 FE to keep$ 200. However, others may be wondering if Samsung’s description of cheap is comparable to that of Apple’s iPhone 16E.

The Flip 7 seemed to have improved many of the shortcomings of the preceding Z Flip devices by adding a bigger handle screen and power in my limited time with them.

Beginning July 25th, preorders for the Turn 7 Samsung Z and Z Flip 7 FE may begin. The release of Samsung takes place in conjunction with Amazon’s Prime Day sale, which includes purchases for Samsung tablets and TVs.

Turn 7 Samsung Z

Samsung’s 2025 premium clamshell is a bit of a paradox: Compared to the Flip 6, it has bigger displays inside a thinner body. Even before I opened the Turn 7 Samsung Z, I could tell there had been some major changes. The hinge is nearly 30% smaller than the one on the Flip 6, Samsung said. And because the company applied waterproofing to the Flip 7’s internal circuitry (instead of the chassis), the phone’s body is thinner, coming in at 6.5mm thick when unfolded, versus 6.9mm on the Flip 6.

The Flip 7 is available in three shades: marine red, jet black, and blue dark. On its site, Samsung is providing a third colour, mint.

When compared to the Z Flip 6’s outer screen, which was 3. 4 inches and topped out at 1, 600 nits, the handle screen is now 4. 1 inches, has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz ( like the main panel ), and can reach a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits. This should improve the brightness (especially outdoors ) and system graphics when switching between the primary and the outer monitors, making scrolling through a information or social feed more consistent.

Gemini, including Gemini Live, is supported by the Samsung’s title for the cover show. I’m eager to try it out and see what using a bigger screen in person is like. If you don’t like huge bezels, Samsung will still have that feature if they claim there is 1.26mm between the picture shooters and the phone’s edge.

The Flip 7 has a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel major lens with a wide-angle glass. The three devices on the Z Flip 6 have similar features. However, Samsung claims to have made improvements to image processing, including the Flip 7’s support for 10-bit HDR videos, portrait enhancements, and a new zoom-slider ( that’s one-handed friendly ). In addition, the 6.9-inch major display has a 10-megapixel selfie camera.

The phone’s 4, 300-mAh device serves as its power source. This is welcome information because the 4, 000-mAh power on the Flip 6 performed just fine in CNET’s tests for my review. A Snapdragon 8 Elite device and 12GB of RAM are included in the Flip 7. It supports Samsung Dex, which transforms a Roll 7 into a system with its own pc function when the phone is connected to a track.

The Flip 7 has a number of Galaxy AI customizations and runs on OneUI 8 ( Android 16 ).

Turn 7 Samsung Z FE

I’m so happy to see Samsung expand its Flip line, especially with a model that comes in at a lower cost. While the $900 Turn 7 Samsung Z FE is $200 less than the Flip 7, it’s also $200 more than the Motorola Razr (2025) — currently the most affordable clamshell foldable you can buy in the US before discounts.

The new Galaxy Z Flip FE seems like a repackaged Galaxy Z Flip 6 in a thinner body, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially as it comes in at a lower price. It has the same cameras (so does the Flip 7) and the same 4,000-mAh battery. It runs on an Exynos 2400 processor, instead of the Flip 6’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It comes with either 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Turn 7 Samsung Z FE comes in either black or white.

When I can get my hands on the two fresh Galaxy Z Flip devices, I’m eager to learn more about the FE and test the two new models.
