Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Samsung launched three new foldable phones: the Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Z Flip FE.

Samsung's latest foldables have arrived in stores. The company unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE, along with its latest Galaxy Watches, at its Unpacked event on July 9. And now, eager buyers can get their hands on the devices through retailers like Best Buy or on Samsung's site. You can also check out our roundup of carrier deals.  

The phone that stole the spotlight during this year's summer Unpacked event was the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung's ultrathin book-style foldable. Along with its slim profile (it's 8.9mm thick when closed and 4.2mm thick when open), it also boasts a 6.5-inch cover screen that makes it feel surprisingly normal when closed, rather than chunky and awkward. It also packs an impressive 200-megapixel main camera. 

The Z Fold 7 starts at $2,000 and comes with storage options of 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. It's available in jet black, Blue Shadow and Silver Shadow, and there's an exclusive mint color on Samsung's site.

There's also the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 7, which scales back the bezels on the cover to serve up a 4.1-inch outer display with a 120Hz rate, similar to the 6.9-inch inner screen. The phone also packs a larger, 4,300-mAh battery. 

The Z Flip 7 starts at $1,100 and offers storage options of 256GB and 512GB. It's available in jet black, Blue Shadow and Coral Red, as well as the Samsung.com exclusive mint color. 

And lastly, the Z Flip 7 FE (which stands for Fan Edition) is Samsung's more affordable foldable offering, though it still starts at a rather hefty $900. It looks similar to last year's Galaxy Z Flip 6, though it swaps out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for an Exynos 2400 processor to keep the price down. The Z Flip 7 FE offers storage options of 128GB and 256GB and is available in black and white.

With an eligible trade-in on Samsung.com, you can get up to $1,000 off the Z Fold 7, $600 off the Z Flip 7 and $500 off the Z Flip 7 FE.
