Maybe in his shadow Galaxy Z Fold7 hasn't received as much attention, but it's certainly not worth ignoring. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 improved where the previous generation forgot. You'll love it, proThat doesn't give you reason to hate.
Evolution Galaxy Z Fliplooks quite logical and easy to grasp. After initial testing and debugging, we actually have the first more or lessproA mission model that Samsung will find it difficult to surpass in the future generation. The displays have been tuned and the bend of the inner one and its foil are almost invisible. So is there anything to criticize at all?
Understandably, we may have some concerns about the device's performance and possible heating, probecause this is the first Galaxy Z Flip, which is equipped with its own Exynos chipset instead of the purchased Snapdragon. But is there more to it?

Don't confuse him.
The appearance of the device is of course determined by its design, so it is obvious which phone you have the honor of having. But thanks to the enlarged external display, it is immediately clear that this is the latest model. The 4,1" display is great. It is practical, proEven though it only displays widgets by default, you can get a lot done on it without having to open your phone. Not that you wouldn't want to, but it's possible with one hand. proIt's still hard.
The external display is the bright star of the new FlipIt's not only bigger, but also more useful. There are more features, more space, and through Good Lock you can launch any application here, not just in the widget area. proIt also has a 120Hz refresh rate, not just the 60Hz one last year. This also enhances the seamless experience between the two displays. Interestingly, the Now Brief and Google Gemini and various animations.

The display has miniThe small frames and camera lenses and LEDs are placed directly into it. It looks likeproso breathtaking, as if from another world, as if: "How is something like this even possible?" Yes, Motorola could do it, but it doesn't have the same reach as Samsung. And the interface plays nicely with the animations, so you can see countdowns, video recording signals, etc.
Overall, the new product is a bit thinner, but it is wider, proThe company has redesigned the aspect ratio of the internal display. However, there is one thing that bothers me, which I have already complained about in previous generations and nothing has been done about it yet: And it probably won't happen, proThat's not much. The power button is too high. Sure, the hinge gets in the way, and that's logical, but personally, in that case, I'd rather see it below, i.e. under the hinge than above it. But I don't expect to see that, so I'll mention it next year.
The frame is still aluminum, the hinge is suitably stiff. It's a shame that the raised bezel of the internal display doesn't reach it, probecause this often causes a lot of dust to get in. The resistance is according to the IP48 standard, which is also what it should be Flip 6 and just proThis is not a rugged phone. produst smaller than 1 mm.

But the display is not only taller, it is also wider, so it again resembles a regular smartphone. It is not proThat's a narrow noodle, but no onepromission solution. The colors are vibrant, everything is sharp, there's Flex Mode, where you can open the phone to different angles and it will change depending on that proWednesday.
The bend of the display is still there, even though you can't see it when you take the phone out of the box. It only appears with the first bend and is so subtle that it's actually hard to criticize. It's not easy to see, let alone photograph. You'll feel it especially when you swipe your finger, but this shouldn't bother anyone anymore.
Best selfie smartphone
Galaxy Z Flip7 It is equipped with a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultraa wide-angle camera, supported by a 10MP selfie camera built into the folding display. Pro There's no room for a telephoto lens here, which is a shame, prothat's it for that one ultraI would swap the wide-angle one out right away. The main sensor takes 12MP photos as standard, and the results are excellent in daylight. There's plenty of detail, the dynamic range is impressive, and the colors are accurate without being overly saturated.
The advantage is the almost lossless 2x zoom, which is achieved thanks to the high resolution. However, it has a tendency to blur details and colors, so it is not suitable for complex scenes, especially landscapes. Sometimes it conjured up really bad results, other times it surprised with the quality (especially in "macro"). In the twilight, the quality drops and noise appears. It is nothing special, a night photo with FlipYou can buy an em7, but you probably won't print it in large format.

At night on ultraForget the wide-angle camera, use it only as an accessory during the day. It doesn't have autofocus, so it can't do macro mode, but as you can see in the gallery, Flip7 takes very good macro photos, but it's best to use the 2x zoom. But if you want the best quality photos, take proUse the main camera for 1x zoom and you won't be disappointed.
What about the selfie camera? You can use it for video calls when you need to have your phone open for some reason, proBut how about taking a selfie with it when you have a preview of the scene on the external display and can take a picture with the main camera? Thanks to this, it is Galaxy Flip7 best phones for selfies. And group photos too, by the way. proYou can bend the phone 90 degrees and put it somewhere - no need for a tripod.

Custom chip with DeX
Galaxy Z Flip7 represents a certain milestone: It's Samsung's first foldable phone to use an Exynos chip. It's also the first time in many years that Samsung has launched a brand new Exynos in a non-flagship phone. Galaxy S. The Exynos 2500 performs really well here. It's fast, smooth, and handles pretty much anything you ask of it with ease, including demanding features. Galaxy AI, such as generative image editing.

Moreover, Samsung is so confident about the Exynos 2500 that it is Galaxy Z Flip7 first Flip, which supports DeX, a feature that allows you to use your phone with a desktop interface on external displays and TVs. Older models Flipthey didn't get it at DeX proto, proIt's just that these phones were too small to handle the heat that comes with this desktop-style user interface. The fact that it's here now suggests that Samsung has given the new chip, and its cooling system, proHe trusts.
However, cooling still has its limitations due to the form factor and generally thinner construction of the phone. You will notice this during demanding games and long photo or video recording. However, it is not catastrophic. In this regard, there are proThere are better phones, but also worse ones. Flip7 is somewhere nearpromiddle, which is actually a good result considering its construction.
Long-lasting battery
NestIt's not often that Samsung improves the battery capacity of a single phone line two years in a row, but that's exactly what happened here. After getting Flip6 battery with a capacity of 4 mAh, Flip7 increased it to 4 mAh. And that's only 300 mAh less than it has Fold7, which is impressive for a clamshell phone. But if you think you can go much further than that with Flipem6, I have to disappoint you. The higher capacity will cover larger displays and more demanding tasks.

Galaxy Z Flip7 is supplied with a superstructure One UI 8 and the Android 16 operating system right out of the box. There are currently only four such phones on the market, although this is of course expected to change in September. This is probably not an advantage, prothat One UI 8 will get a whole range of older devices. After all proti One UI There are only a few improvements in 7. The seven-year support is more important.
The phone also boasts improved connectivity. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth version 5.4, while Flip6 has "only" Wi-Fi 6e. The rest of the connectivity remains the same, with GPS, NFC and a USB Type-C port. Like the previous models, it offers Flip7 one physical slot pro SIM card and eSIM, no memory cards.
Galaxy Z Flip7 is undoubtedly the bestpromore elaborate and complete FlipSamsung has made yet. The larger cover display has a huge impact on the daily use of the phone, the switch to Exynos is no problem, the battery life is all day and DeX is a bonus pro There is always something to criticize, but it is less and less and mostly nothing major. If you have been waiting for Samsung to finally create somethingpromissionary Flip, so there you have it.
