Samsung’s latest foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip7, has finally landed, and after unboxing it, I can confidently say this is the most refined Flip yet after using it for about a week. From its slimmer body to the upgraded FlexWindow and smarter AI features, the Z Flip7 feels like a huge step forward in Samsung’s foldable journey.
Unboxing the Galaxy Z Flip7
Inside the minimalist and sleek phone box, you’ll find:
- The Galaxy Z Flip7 itself
- USB-C to USB-C cable
- SIM ejector tool
- Quick start guide and warranty papers
As expected, there’s no charger brick in the box, keeping in line with Samsung’s sustainability push.
The First Impressions
Design & Colors
The Flip7 looks sleek right out of the box. Samsung has slimmed down the hinge with its new Armor FlexHinge, making it nearly 30% thinner while still durable. The phone feels noticeably lighter and slips easily into a pocket.
Color options are vibrant this year: Jet Black, Blue Shadow, Coral Red, and an online-exclusive Mint. Each finish has its own personality, with Coral Red standing out as the boldest choice.
FlexWindow: Bigger & Brighter
The first thing that catches your eye is the new 4.1-inch edge-to-edge FlexWindow. It’s the largest ever on a Flip, delivering smoother interactions at 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,600 nits brightness. That means you can comfortably scroll through socials, reply to messages, and even frame selfies—all without unfolding the device.
Main Display Experience
Unfolding the phone reveals a gorgeous 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display—the biggest yet for the Flip series. It’s wide enough to rival the Galaxy S25+, making it more comfortable for typing, streaming, and multitasking.
Battery & Performance
This year, Samsung packed in the largest Flip battery ever at 4,300mAh. Samsung claims up to 31 hours of video playback, which should help ease battery anxiety that older Flip users often had. Powering it all is the latest Exynos 2500 3nm processor, ensuring smooth multitasking, gaming, and AI performance.
And for the first time, the Flip gets Samsung DeX, turning the phone into a PC-like workstation when connected to an external screen.
AI-Powered FlexWindow
One of the biggest upgrades is how Galaxy AI integrates into the Flip’s cover screen. With Gemini Live, you can use natural voice commands right from the FlexWindow, whether that’s asking questions, getting travel tips, or even sharing what your camera sees for instant insights.
The Now Bar and Now Brief bring real-time updates on rides, music, sports, or daily reminders, directly to the cover screen. It feels like a smart assistant in your pocket.
Camera: A Pocket-Sized Selfie Studio
Samsung calls this a “pocket-sized selfie studio,” and it delivers. With a 50MP wide camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP front camera, the Z Flip7 brings serious upgrades.
Highlights include:
- Auto Zoom to keep you framed perfectly
- Camcorder Mode + Zoom Rocker for stable video recording
- Create Your Own Filters directly from your gallery
- Sketch to Image, an AI-powered portrait tool that turns doodles into stylized photos
All of this works even from the FlexWindow so you don’t even need to unfold the phone for most shots.
Final Thoughts (First Look)
The Galaxy Z Flip7 feels like the most complete Flip yet. It has transform to become even sleeker, smarter, and more practical than ever. The bigger FlexWindow makes a real difference, the battery upgrade is huge, and AI features give it a fresh edge over other foldables.
It’s not just a fashion statement anymore, the Flip7 is shaping up to be a true everyday flagship class smartphone.
