Dear Samsung, your recent designs and software upgrades within the past decade had me curious.The Samsung galaxy s10 plus has been officially retired, and to replace such a trusty device the Samsung Flip 7 came along. Solid quality, odd flip (not fold) design but very comfortable. To this day, I do not hesitate to recommend Samsung to friends and family.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honest, Zero-BS Take Okay, I got the Z Flip 7. It's tiny. Seriously, I can finally fit a phone in my pocket without feeling like I have a brick strapped to my thigh. What’s Actually Cool (The Fun Stuff): The Cover Screen: This thing is HUGE now! I feel like I’m using a real phone when it’s closed. I actually checked my ridiculous group chat without having to perform the big opening ritual. It’s addictive. The Crease? What Crease?: I swear Samsung used magic. I keep trying to find it, and it's basically gone. It just looks like a regular, nice phone screen now. Selfie Trick: Half-folding it on the table to take a picture of my food? 10/10. No more weird angles or asking strangers to hold my phone. It’s my personal, built-in tiny tripod. Where I Rolled My Eyes (The "Ugh" Stuff): The Engine: They put their Exynos chip in it. It runs fine for TikTok and Instagram, but when I tried to actually game, it got a little toasty. It’s not a gaming laptop; it’s a fashion accessory that can game, I guess. Camera Zoom: If you like zooming in on things far away, tough luck. You get the wide shot, or you get a blurry, AI-smeared version of a zoom shot. Stick to taking selfies! The Bottom Line This phone is fun. It’s the closest thing to a flip phone from the good old days, but it actually works in 2025. If you want the absolute fastest chip and zoom camera, buy the giant slab phone. If you want a phone that folds down to be adorable and pocketable, while still running all the new AI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flip mechanism is excellent.
The non- stock android experience is terrible.
The camera continues to be very weak in this day and age.
Real talk, if we could get a pixel flip collaboration, that would be amazing. Flip phone with pixel camera and stock android? Sign me up for that!
