Pros of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7
Large, Highly Functional Cover Screen: The 4.1-inch FlexWindow is larger, edge-to-edge, and now supports a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a much more useful and seamless experience for responding to messages, checking widgets, and accessing quick features without unfolding the phone.
Highly Portable and Sleek Design: Its signature clamshell form factor makes the phone incredibly pocketable and compact when closed, while still offering a large 6.9-inch screen when open. The design is thinner and the hinge is more refined.
Flagship Performance and Longevity: It features the new Exynos 2500 processor with 12GB of RAM and includes Galaxy AI features, ensuring fast performance and cutting-edge intelligence. It also promises 7 years of major OS updates.
Improved Battery Life: With a 4,300 mAh battery (a capacity increase over the previous model) and a more efficient processor, the battery life is notably improved, making it more reliable for getting through a full day of use.
Versatile FlexCam Photography: The folding design allows for unique, hands-free shooting angles using the main high-quality 50MP camera and the 12MP ultrawide camera, which is a key advantage over traditional slab phones for selfies and video.
Cons of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7
Slow Charging Speed: The wired charging speed is still limited to 25W, which is very slow compared to many competing flagship phones (including other foldables), leading to long recharge times.
No Telephoto Camera: The phone lacks a dedicated optical zoom lens (telephoto camera), relying only on the 2x crop from the main sensor, which limits its versatility for zoomed-in photography.
Visible Crease: While improved, the crease or line on the center of the main folding screen is still visible at certain angles and can be felt when swiping across the display.
Cover Screen Software Limitations: Despite the excellent hardware, some cover screen software functionalities—like full app support and customization—still feel somewhat limited or are locked behind extra steps (e.g., using Good Lock).
