Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in July 2025 as a cost-effective entry into Samsung’s foldable phone lineup. However, many people weren’t too enthusiastic about the device owing to its $899.99 starting price and hardware on offer. For the most part, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is just a rebadged Galaxy Z Flip 6 with 4 GB less RAM and an Exynos 2400 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
So, at full retail, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE makes little sense over the Galaxy Z Flip 6, since you can get the latter for around the same starting price but with 256 GB of storage. Fortunately, like all Android phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE has seen a few discounts over the months. The latest price cut has now dropped the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE to its lowest ever price of just $699.99.
At $699.99 for the 128 GB variant, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a much better device and, thus, easy to recommend.
Specs-wise, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is almost identical to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a 6.7-inch FHD+ foldable Super AMOLED LTPO panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits of Peak brightness. The cover display is a small 3.4-inch. Powering the phone is Samsung’s in-house 10-core Exynos 2400 SoC with 8 GB of RAM.
When it comes to cameras, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE retains the system employed on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. There are two cameras on the back with one 50 MP main wide lens with an f/1.8 aperture, 1 micron pixels, and OIS. The second camera is a 12 MP ultra-wide with 123 degree FoV, an f/2.2 aperture, and 1.12 micron pixels. Around the front, there is a 10 MP f/2.2 shooter. All three cameras support up to 4K@60 FPS video recording.
Finally, a 4,000 mAh battery with 25 W wired and 15 W wireless charging keeps the lights on.
While the hardware on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE may not be that impressive, Samsung’s most affordable foldable is more than the sum of its parts. GSMArena rates the phone a 4.1 out of 5. The main contributors to this rating are the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE’s superb inner display, durable compact design, good cameras, and 7 years of OS and security updates.
In other words, if you’ve been wanting to give foldable phones a chance or just want a super compact phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE on sale is a pretty lucrative option.
