Keep your crown at all costs. It is the difficult challenge of galaxy z Flip every year. The best folding smartphone model in the market, the small Samsung device, which folds in half in the height address to gain space, has some important competitors. Starting with the Motorola Razr 60 ultra that continues to inspire it.
Because taking advantage of its dominant position, the South Korean manufacturer can without complex use the best creative competition ideas, but further back, to optimize its model and maintain its leadership. The same goes for the seventh generation (but the sixth iteration) that wants to take a small margin in the ambitious Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor and especially Motorola that wait for their time.
Because Samsung sees his nipple hegemony from year to year. Holder 58% of the global market to fold smartphones in 2023, the Asian giant fell to 45% last year in this segment, which represents only 1.5 to 3.5% of smartphone sales worldwide. A gradual fall in the interest that the brand expects to fight with more possibilities to attract consumers.
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Notable improvements on the screen
On Wednesday at a conference unpacked in New York, Samsung presented its vintage folding smartphones 2025. This year it will be in number: a galaxy z fold 7 for “the mini tablet that folds”, a galaxy z flip 7 for those who prefer to reduce the size of their smartphone, and a galaxy z flip 7 faith The range.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 would almost be a face washing this year. Finally you will use this complete AMOLED screen, as in the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. No more strange notch of the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Therefore, we finish with a 4 -inch slab that can show multiple widgets and applications. It will prove to be more practical to read your notifications, write messages and even have quick access to Gemini without having to open the phone. Inside, once developed, the smartphone has a larger diagonal of 6.9 inches of 120 Hz adaptive.
On the photo side, there are two photographic sensors on the external screen (an angle of 50 MPX with X2 optical zoom and an ultra angle of 12 MPX). Inside, the Selfie Chamber shows 10 MPX. But you can always place the device in Flex mode to take a photo when you see you on the external or internal screen. Small novelty this year, the device admits the camcorder mode that consists of taking its “old” (horizontal and 90 °) phone when you filma to obtain more stability. An option that has been found for a long time in Motorola.
Reinforced with shocking glass and scratches Gorilla Glass Vicus 2 of all sides (and IP48 certification against splashes), the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is as solid as powerful. Samsung has equipped it with its exyn 2500 house processor that must compete with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which equips some of its main competitors.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 Fe: A Z Flip 6 resumption
From 1,200 euros, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 knows that it is not available to all budgets. Then, Samsung has decided to accompany him with a “lightened” version to offer a folding folding “affordable”, below the 1,000 euros mark. Here is the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Fe, which suggests the main lines of the products of the faith range for that: fun, design concessions, power and a little in the photo, but not essentially. It is a way of summarizing the newcomer, which is in fact … that a Galaxy Z Flip 6 bouncedbut finally identical to last year’s model.
A certain misunderstanding remains in front of this election. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 faith thus takes the external screen with a tongue of the Z Flip 6 (3.4 inches), its processor (exynos 2400), its battery (4,000 mAh), its photography proposal (50 MPX main sensor and ultra grand-angry-angan 12 MPX) and its smallest deployment screen (6.7 inches). In fact, it is a relieved version, but because precisely the Z Flip 7 improves compared to its predecessor. More surprising, sold at 999 euros, can suffer the competition of its acolyte that can be found 300 euros cheaper.
Galaxy Z fold 7: Back in advance
Once again, Samsung has shown its power in terms of engineering by reducing the thickness of its galaxy z fold 7 a little more. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is struggling to find its audience despite its concept, the folding screen intelligible phone is very refined (4.2 mm open, 8.9 mm folded).
The design of the Galaxy S25 series, with its reinforced armor aluminum chassis, sensors on the back that are not in individual growth, but in a vertical pill that ends it elegantly, even if it increases its thickness. We also found the same 200 MPX sensor as the Ultra Galaxy S25, the brand’s brand photographic flag (with an ultra angle of 12 MPX capable of macro and a 10 MPX teleobjective with 3X optical zoom).
But it is in the hand and is open that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 maintains its promises of novelty. It is extremely delicacy and remarkable lightness (215 g), lighter than ultra s25, and despite a large 8.2 -inch AMOLED screen of 8.2 inches, it is easily maintained in one hand or between the two to write on the keyboard, for example.
Folded, it has a new thinner design in 21: 9, which also allows it to be more pleasant and easier to sustain in one hand. All screens are protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on screens and victus 2 on the back.
Beautiful, light and powerful: it has the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the most efficient Qualcomm. Samsung gave him more battery (4,400 mAh) to increase his autonomy. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 loses its emblematic Stylus S-Hen, its delicacy undoubtedly avoiding integrating it into the chassis. But the price does not flex, quite the opposite. The Z Fold 7 now begins at 2,099 euros with 256 GB of storage (where competition often shows 512 GB for cheaper) and even rises to more than 2,500 euros with 1 TB of available space.
After the relative disappointment whispered with the 2024 models, a moment of a special OJ Galaxy Z Flip 6 in the hands of all athletes in the podiums during the competition, Samsung would have reviewed its shipping goals when launching, around 1-1.34 million units for the three models, according to the Korean site Theelec. A drop of almost 200,000 smartphones compared to the figures announced in June. Figures more and further from “50% of its high -level devices” with which Samsung dreamed two years ago and the 15 million expected annual sales.
Note that all devices will have seven years of Android updates (therefore, counting Android 16) and seven years of security updates. All take advantage of Galaxy AI, all the functions in the AI of Samsung, accompanied by the presence of the best of Gemini and the AI of Google (wrapping to look, photo retoucher, text summary, live translation, etc.). This makes it the devices of the segment that see the most important argument, a significant argument at this price.
