Samsung’s latest foldable addition, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, debuts with a promise to bring cutting-edge hinge technology and polish at a more accessible price point. Rather than chasing flagship status, this Fan Edition model aims squarely at users who crave the novelty of a compact, folding screen without stretching their budgets to the stratosphere.
On the design front, the Z Flip 7 FE retains the signature clamshell shape but softens its premium trimmings with matte finishes and a slightly larger cover display. Its 6.7-inch main OLED panel delivers vivid colors and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, while the smaller outer display adapts for quick notifications and selfies—making it more practical for everyday carry than its high-end siblings.
Underneath lies Samsung’s new in-house Exynos 2400 chipset, paired with ample RAM and storage options that promise snappy app launches and reliable multitasking. In my hands-on testing, the phone handled social media, video calls, and light gaming without breaking a sweat. With a battery capacity tuned for all-day use and support for fast wired charging, this FE model balances performance with endurance nicely.
Photography is another area where the Z Flip 7 FE surprises. Its dual-camera setup—anchored by a wide and an ultrawide sensor—produces crisp shots in daylight and respectable low-light images thanks to Samsung’s computational tweaks. Combining flexible angles with Samsung’s well-known camera software makes it a versatile tool for vlogging, group photos, or impromptu TikTok clips.
Priced from ₹89,999 in India and opening for pre-orders immediately, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE redefines what a mid-range foldable can be. It may not boast every premium hallmark, but its blend of design, performance, and camera prowess marks a significant step toward mainstream acceptance of foldable displays. For those intrigued by unconventional form factors without a flagship price tag, this model delivers a compelling case for flipping the script on smartphone norms.
