The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (stylized as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7) is a foldable smartphone developed and marketed by Samsung Electronics. It was officially announced on July 9, 2025, at the Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event held in Brooklyn, New York City, United States, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 series.[2][3]
Samsung also introduced a derivative model, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which features a slimmer and lighter design and is equipped with a 50 MP main camera, and it is based on the full predecessor.
Design
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is available in four color options at launch: Jet Black, Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and Mint, with the latter being offered exclusively through Samsung's online store.[4] It features a matte glass back panel and aluminum frame.[5]
As part of its physical refinement, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is now approximately 0.4 mm thinner when unfolded compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, contributing to a more compact hardware profile.[6][7]

Specifications
Display
Main display
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 6.9‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a resolution of 2520 × 1080 pixels (21:9 aspect ratio) and a pixel density of approximately 397 ppi. It supports a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, enabling adaptive performance based on content type. The display also supports HDR10+ and is protected by Ultra Thin Glass (UTG).[8][9]
| Feature | Galaxy Z Flip 7 | Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE |
|---|---|---|
| Display size | 6.9 inches | 6.7 inches |
| Display type | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | |
| Resolution | 2520 x 1080 (FHD+) | 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) |
| Aspect ratio | 21:9 | 22:9 (same as Z Flip 6) |
| Refresh rate | 1–120 Hz (adaptive) | |
| Protection | Ultra Thin Glass + Gorilla Glass Victus 2 | |
Cover screen and FlexWindow
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 4.1‑inch Super AMOLED cover screen, referred to by Samsung as the FlexWindow, with a resolution of 1048 × 948 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.[10]
Compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, the FlexWindow has been enlarged by approximately 2.2-inches in usable screen area, enabled in part by a 0.7 mm bezel reduction. This results in improved content visibility and expanded touch interaction zones. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.[11]
The FlexWindow enables access to widgets, notifications, camera previews, and selected apps—such as Google Gemini, Now Bar, and Now Brief—without unfolding the device.[12]

Performance
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is powered by the Exynos 2500 processor, built on a 3 nm fabrication process. It is the first Galaxy Z Flip device (alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE) to use an Exynos processor, as opposed to the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets used since the first release of the Galaxy Z Flip.[14]
It features an octa-core CPU based on the latest Cortex-X5 architecture. To maintain thermal stability during high-performance scenarios such as gaming or multitasking, the device includes a large vapor chamber cooling system.[15]
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is only available with 12 GB of RAM, paired with either 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage which utilizes UFS 4.0.[16]
Battery
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is equipped with a 4,300 mAh dual-cell battery. It supports 25W wired charging (compatible with USB Power Delivery 3.0 and Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0),15W wireless and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.[16]
| Specification | Galaxy Z Flip 7 |
|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 4,300 mAh |
| Wired charging | 25 W (USB Power Delivery 3.0, Quick Charge 2.0) |
| Fast charging speed | Up to 50% in approximately 30 minutes (under optimal conditions) |

Camera
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a dual rear camera system, comprising a 50 MP wide-angle sensor (with optical image stabilization (OIS) and Dual Pixel autofocus) and a 12 MP ultra-wide sensor (offering a 123-degree field of view). Camera features include LED flash, HDR, and panorama.[18]
The front-facing camera is a 10 MP sensor with HDR support and 4K video recording at 30 and 60 fps.[19][20]
| Specification | Galaxy Z Flip 7 |
|---|---|
| Rear camera configuration | Dual: Main: 50 MP (f/1.8, 1/1.57", 1.0μm, OIS, Dual Pixel PDAF) Ultrawide: 12 MP (f/2.2, 123°, 1/3.2", 1.12μm) |
| Front camera | 10 MP (f/2.2, 1/3.0", 1.22μm) |
| Photo features | LED flash, HDR, panorama |
| Video recording (rear) | 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@60/120/240fps, 720p@960fps, HDR10+ |
| Video recording (front) | 4K@30/60fps |
FlexCam
FlexCam is a shooting mode that enables hands-free photo and video capture by partially folding the device, typically between 75 and 115 degrees. The mode uses the rear cameras with the cover screen acting as a live viewfinder.[18] It is commonly used for scenarios such as group selfies, vlogging, and video calls. While the core functionality is the same on both devices, the user experience may differ depending on cover screen size and app support.[13][21]
Software
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE ship with Android 16 and One UI 8. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it is promised to get up to seven years of operating system and security updates, which is a policy first introduced with the Galaxy S24 series,[22] making it the second Galaxy Z series phone to do so after the Galaxy Z6 series.[23]

Galaxy AI
Galaxy AI features, first introduced with the Galaxy S24 lineup, are supported on both models as part of One UI 8. Key tools include Interpreter, Chat Assist, and Generative Edit, among other available features. These features use a combination of on-device and cloud-based processing, depending on the task and language.[25]
