# Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE
The **Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE** (SM-F761) is a clamshell foldable smartphone announced by [Samsung Electronics](https://www.edgepedia.org/samsung-electronics) on July 9, 2025 at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York, and released on July 25, 2025 as the least expensive model in the company's 2025 foldable lineup[1](https://news.samsung.com/global/galaxy-unpacked-2025-the-next-chapter-in-personalized-multimodal-galaxy-innovation) • [2](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-elevates-foldable-era-everyday-well-being-global-launch-galaxy-z-fold7-galaxy-z-flip7-galaxy-watch8-series/). "FE" stands for Fan Edition, a Samsung designation for lower-priced variants of flagship devices[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). The phone pairs the exterior design and main display of the previous [Galaxy Z Flip 6](https://www.edgepedia.org/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-6) with a newer Exynos 2400 processor, and it launched at $899.99 in the United States, $200 below the standard Galaxy Z Flip 7[2](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-elevates-foldable-era-everyday-well-being-global-launch-galaxy-z-fold7-galaxy-z-flip7-galaxy-watch8-series/) • [4](https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-vs-fe_id7429).

## Positioning and launch
Samsung presented the Z Flip7 FE alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Watch8 series at Unpacked on July 9, 2025, and described the FE as bringing "the foldable experience to a wider audience"[1](https://news.samsung.com/global/galaxy-unpacked-2025-the-next-chapter-in-personalized-multimodal-galaxy-innovation) • [2](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-elevates-foldable-era-everyday-well-being-global-launch-galaxy-z-fold7-galaxy-z-flip7-galaxy-watch8-series/). Pre-orders ran from July 9 to July 24, and the device went on sale at Samsung.com and in stores on July 25[2](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-elevates-foldable-era-everyday-well-being-global-launch-galaxy-z-fold7-galaxy-z-flip7-galaxy-watch8-series/) • [9](https://images.samsung.com/is/content/samsung/assets/sa_en/terms-and-conditions/deals/Galaxy_Z_Series_Launch_2025.pdf). It is available in [Black or White](https://www.edgepedia.org/black-or-white) only, a monochrome palette Samsung presents as the identity of the "essential Flip"[2](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-elevates-foldable-era-everyday-well-being-global-launch-galaxy-z-fold7-galaxy-z-flip7-galaxy-watch8-series/) • [10](https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip7-fe/?msockid=0d0a7b1c85ca6be50b896dd784776a93).
The FE is the first Fan Edition in the Z Flip line. Reviewers noted that its $899.99 starting price undercuts the Z Flip 7 by $200 but sits well above the Moto Razr 2025, its closest competitor, which cost $200 less in the US at the time[4](https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-vs-fe_id7429) • [5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe).
## Design: a carried-over chassis
**The FE reuses the Z Flip 6 body.** A Samsung representative told Android Authority at the press briefing that the phone uses the Z Flip 6 "chassis," and the dimensions and 187-gram weight match that 2024 device exactly: 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm unfolded and 85.1 x 71.9 x 14.9 mm folded[7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/) • [3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). The standard Z Flip 7, by contrast, is thinner and lighter at 188 g with a 6.5 mm unfolded profile[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). Reusing the chassis also means the FE is compatible with all Galaxy Z Flip6 cases[10](https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip7-fe/?msockid=0d0a7b1c85ca6be50b896dd784776a93).
Durability hardware carries over as well: an Armor Aluminum hinge and frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the cover screen, and an IP48 rating for dust and water exposure[6](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10006876/?linkId=839519570) • [7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/). Samsung's care documentation separately lists the Z Flip7 FE among the foldables that offer IPX8 water resistance, while stating that no foldable is dust resistant[11](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001589/?msockid=3b742e9cac8b65a61d40399dad1c6460). The Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 received 50 percent thicker ultra-thin glass on the flexible panel; Android [Authority](https://www.edgepedia.org/authority) judged that the FE likely did not get this upgrade[7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/).
## Displays
The main foldable screen is a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X at 1080 x 2640 in a 22:9 aspect ratio, with a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, matching the Z Flip 6 panel rather than the larger 6.9-inch screen of the Z Flip 7[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php). In GSMArena's lab measurements the panel reached 1,444 nits in bright ambient light with adaptive brightness, essentially the same as the Z Flip 7's main display[12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php).
The cover screen is where the FE diverges most from its sibling. It is a 3.4-inch [Super AMOLED](https://www.edgepedia.org/super-amoled) at 720 x 748 with a fixed 60Hz refresh rate and a notch around the cover cameras, against the Z Flip 7's edge-to-edge 4.1-inch panel running at up to 120Hz[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php). Samsung's UK comparison table lists 1,600 nits peak brightness for the FE cover screen versus 2,600 nits for the Flip 7's, though GSMArena reports Samsung promising the same 2,600-nit maximum on both[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php).
## Performance
The FE runs Samsung's Exynos 2400, a 4nm chip also used in some Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus models, while the Z Flip 7 uses the newer 3nm Exynos 2500[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/). TechRadar measured Geekbench scores of 1,554 single-core and 6,128 multi-core, on par with the Galaxy S23 and S24[5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe). Android Authority's testing found the FE trailing the Z Flip 6, which used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, in both single-core and multi-core CPU results and in GPU stress tests, though the FE ran cooler and held steadier performance in the Wild Life Extreme test[7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/).
Memory and storage configurations differ between Samsung's own regional pages: the US comparison page lists 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB or 256 GB of storage[6](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10006876/?linkId=839519570), while Samsung's UK comparison table lists 12 GB of RAM[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). The Z Flip 7 has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB of storage[6](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10006876/?linkId=839519570).
One software distinction from the standard model is [Samsung DeX](https://www.edgepedia.org/samsung-dex), the desktop-style interface for external displays. The Z Flip 7 supports DeX; the FE does not[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). TechRadar called the omission perplexing, noting that the Galaxy S24 FE runs DeX on the less powerful Exynos 2400e[5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe).
## Battery and charging
The FE carries the 4,000 mAh battery of the Z Flip 6, 300 mAh smaller than the 4,300 mAh cell in the Z Flip 7[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). Charging is 25W wired and 15W wireless on both models[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/).
Measured results show the cost of the smaller battery and older chip. In Tom's Guide's web-browsing rundown over cellular data, the FE lasted 9 hours 12 minutes, more than an hour below the site's phone average, while the Z Flip 7 managed 12 hours 24 minutes and the Moto Razr 2025 reached 13 hours 36 minutes[13](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/samsung-phones/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review). The same review recorded 56 percent charge after 30 minutes on the 25W charger[13](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/samsung-phones/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review); GSMArena's lab measured 54 percent in 30 minutes and a full charge in 1 hour 29 minutes[12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php). GSMArena also found the FE certified only for the Wireless Power Consortium's Basic Power Profile, which in theory limits it to 5W on standard third-party charging pads, though Samsung's own pads can deliver the advertised 15W[12](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_z_flip7_fe-review-2861p3.php).
## Cameras and software
The camera hardware is identical to the Z Flip 7's: a 50 MP Dual Pixel wide camera at f/1.8, a 12 MP ultra-wide at f/2.2, and a 10 MP front camera[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/). The folding form factor supports FlexMode, in which the half-open phone stands on its own and the cover screen shows a preview for hands-free 50 MP selfies[10](https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip7-fe/?msockid=0d0a7b1c85ca6be50b896dd784776a93). TechRadar judged the cameras good for the price, particularly in low light, but noted that photos that look strong on the phone's screen become blocky when viewed at larger sizes[5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe).
The phone ships with [One UI](https://www.edgepedia.org/one-ui) 8 and the [Galaxy AI](https://www.edgepedia.org/galaxy-ai) feature set, including [Gemini Live](https://www.edgepedia.org/gemini-live), Now Brief, Circle to Search, Note Assist, Transcript Assist, Interpreter, and generative photo editing[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [10](https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip7-fe/?msockid=0d0a7b1c85ca6be50b896dd784776a93). Samsung's UK comparison table lists Android 14 as the launch OS, while TechRadar's spec table, Android Authority's review, and Samsung's own update pages for the SM-F761 hardware all describe the phone running Android 16[3](https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-z-flip7-vs-galaxy-z-flip7-fe-comparison/) • [5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe) • [7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/) • [14](https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-F761B/034579250801/roh.html). Cover-screen software remains more restricted than on Motorola's rival flip phones: widgets are limited to Samsung's own, Outlook, and the Google app, and running arbitrary apps on the cover display requires Samsung's MultiStar utility[7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/).
On software support, Samsung's security page lists the Z Flip7 FE among devices covered by its policy of up to 7 years of security updates[8](https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb), and Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip7 environmental report states a commitment to seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates from the global launch date[15](https://www.samsung.com/global/sustainability/landing_hub-file/AZfy7rlKMwIALYMa/Galaxy_Z_Flip7_Environmental_Report_EN.pdf).
## Reception
Reviewers agreed on the phone's central trade-off. TechRadar called it "a rebranded Flip 6 with a couple of minor upgrades" and scored value 3 out of 5, writing that the price only felt close to correct in the UK[5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe). Android Authority concluded that $899 is expensive for what is effectively the Exynos-powered Z Flip 6 that was never sold, and that a discounted Z Flip 6 would be a better buy at the same price[7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/). PhoneArena framed the FE as Samsung's clearest attempt to widen the foldable audience, while noting that the $200 step up to the Z Flip 7 buys a faster processor, more RAM, DeX support, and a larger cover screen[4](https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-vs-fe_id7429). Common criticisms across reviews were the 60Hz cover display, the 4,000 mAh battery with 25W charging, and battery life that trailed both the Z Flip 7 and the Razr 2025 in testing[5](https://www.techradar.com/phones/samsung-galaxy-phones/review-samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe) • [7](https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review-3585384/) • [13](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/samsung-phones/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-7-fe-review).
