Best Galaxy Z Flip 7 deals: here's what to expect this July

Best Galaxy Z Flip 7 deals: here's what to expect this July

Phone Arena2 days ago

Motorola might have released its flip phones early this year, but a solid contender is on the horizon. Expected to launch sometime in early July, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 could offer several notable upgrades, making it a great choice for flip phone enthusiasts.
From what we know so far, the upcoming device might feature a larger cover screen and a potentially better battery thanks to an upgraded battery size. Even better, the Samsung phone might come at the same asking price as last year's model or $1,099.99 for the base model. Although the unchanged asking price (if true) certainly brings good news, launch-day deals will make the Z Flip 7 even more tempting. How so? Well, retailers like the Samsung Store and Amazon, as well as Verizon and other carriers, will compete for your attention with juicy pre-order offers.
Jump to: It's no secret that the official Samsung Store gives the deepest price cuts during flagship phone launches. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be no exception! This year, we expect pre-orders to include a hefty $650 maximum trade-in discount, a free storage upgrade, and a reservation credit. The free storage upgrade alone saves you $120 on the 512GB variant, letting you grab it at the price of the 256GB model. As you might have guessed, the reservation credit is only available to users who reserved a device ahead of launch. We expect it to be worth about $50 and allow you to get an accessory at the time of pre-order. Reservations usually begin two weeks before launch, so stay tuned for updates.
In total, you might be able to save up to $820 on the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 . That's a pretty solid discount no flip phone fan would want to miss.
If history is any indication, Samsung might limit the $650 trade-in discount to select high-end devices. Last year's Z Flip 6 launched with the same discount with Galaxy S24 Ultra, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 5, and iPhone 15 Pro Max trade-ins Expected pre-order deals at Amazon
Amazon won't leave shoppers behind during the Galaxy Z Flip 7 pre-orders. This year's Samsung flip phone will most likely arrive with a free storage upgrade (which alone saves you $120). Aside from that, the e-commerce giant will most likely offer a $200 Amazon Gift Card. By the way, last year's model debuted with a bundle offer as well, allowing users to buy the Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at a lower price. We can't be 100% certain, but similar bundle offers might come up this year. Expected pre-order deals at Verizon
Users seeking a carrier deal will definitely want to check out Verizon 's pre-order offer for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 . The handset may arrive for as much as $800 off with trade-ins, plus a free storage upgrade, saving you a total of $920. That said, chances are you'd have to set up a new line on select unlimited plans to grab this bargain. Last year, the Samsung Store allowed users to pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 with a carrier plan at a pretty tempting price. For instance, users could get a full year of Samsung Care+ with T-Mobile through the Samsung Store. On top of that, last year's flip arrived for up to $1,100 off with eligible trade-ins and a free storage upgrade. Talk about big savings! AT&T offered the Galaxy Z Flip 6 for free during pre-orders. To get this amazing deal, users had to trade in any Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, or Galaxy Z series device in any condition. Of course, the offer only worked with select plans, but at least it was open to new and existing customers alike. Like other carriers (and retailers), AT&T also offered a free storage upgrade during pre-orders.
If the tradition remains unchanged, you might be able to pre-order the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 for $0.00/mo. at AT&T —who would want to miss that?
Top Galaxy deals right now:
If you don't feel like waiting for the new Galaxy Watch 8 series, feel free to snag a brand-new Galaxy Watch 7 on Amazon. The retailer is offering a $100 discount on the 40mm model, letting you score one of the best watches on the market for just under $200. Don't miss out!

Samsung is focusing on (almost) all the wrong things for the Galaxy S26 Ultra

Before you even think about going there, no, I don't have a crystal ball or a modern-day Nostradamus whispering details on unreleased smartphones in my ear, and despite rumors of an early launch, Samsung has yet to officially announce any relevant Galaxy S26 series information. Let's not mince words. If the Galaxy S26 Ultra ends up retaining the 5,000mAh battery capacity of this year's S25 Ultra (and last year's S24 Ultra, and the S23 Ultra before that, and the S22 Ultra before that, and the S21 Ultra, and the S20 Ultra), Samsung will have some explaining to do. Apart from inexplicably leaving a major component of its Android super-flagship unchanged for seven (!!!) consecutive generations, the world's top handset vendor would trail behind the latest significant upgrades in that field by key rivals like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Honor, Oppo, Vivo, and even Motorola. If you had a choice, would you opt for a bigger S26 Ultra battery or a thinner profile than the S26 Ultra? | Image Credit -- PhoneArena It's going to be mighty hard for a "regular" consumer and casual mobile industry watcher to understand how something like the OnePlus 13T can pair a gargantuan 6,260mAh battery with a compact 6.32-inch screen while the 6.9-inch or so S26 Ultra has to settle for 5,000 or at most 5,400mAh cell capacity. Yes, there's apparently a chance of a small bump from 5,000mAh to "under" 5,400mAh, which would definitely be better than nothing. But a sub-5,500mAh battery will still be considered a disappointment and a compromise compared to what one can imagine the OnePlus 14 will bring to the table after the already impressive 6,000mAh-packing OnePlus 13. The disappointment will be made even greater if the Galaxy S26 Ultra removes the S Pen slot and fails to get its charging support over the 50W mark. Fortunately, all of these are still big ifs, but there's rarely this much smoke without fire in the rumor mill, even with seven or eight months ahead of a phone's commercial release. The stylus support elimination speculation makes me especially angry now that the battery size is expected to go (largely) unchanged. And yes, I realize the S Pen is not that frequently used by the vast majority of S25 Ultra or S24 Ultra owners, but that doesn't change the fact this is a nice feature to have at your disposal, as well as sort of a luxury statement for the best Android phones out there. To lose that and only gain (maybe) 400mAh battery capacity, as well as (maybe) 20 grams in weight and half a millimeter in thickness, would be shockingly ill-advised... if we didn't all remember Samsung's big Galaxy Note-killing mistake from just a few years ago. Yes, there's positive news to be found in the rumor mill of late regarding a Galaxy S26 Ultra that's otherwise starting to sound like a pretty depressing upgrade over the solid but largely unremarkable Galaxy S25 Ultra. No, I'm not talking about the potential reduction of Samsung's reliance on Google, which also seems like a foolish decision to me... that I don't think will ultimately materialize (at least not in 2026). Instead, what's surely exciting about the S26 Ultra is that it could be the only member of its family to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Whether that will be true around the world or not, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 SoC would give the 2026 Android hero a chance to keep up with the undoubtedly staggering raw power of Apple's fast-approaching iPhone 17 Pro Max. Yes, the S26 Ultra's front-facing camera will probably be as visible as the one on the S25 Ultra. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Of course, I'd much rather see the entire Galaxy S26 lineup adopt a global single-chip Snapdragon strategy instead of splitting the world in Snapdragon and Exynos territories, or even worse, rely on Samsung-made Exynos silicon everywhere for non-Ultra models, but hey, we can't have it all. Let's enjoy the little wins in that case, including Samsung's rumored decision to leave the S26 series without under-display camera technology. There's obviously nothing wrong with making a phone's selfie snapper as discreet as possible, but at the moment, that seems like a waste of precious resources that takes time and money to get just right while negatively impacting the performance of the actual imaging sensor. Let's just hope Samsung will find a better use of its resources than simply making the S26 Ultra as thin as it can.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Geekbench scores tipped

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series is due to be made official in September, and ahead of that today we have yet another rumor claiming that all four devices will have high refresh rate screens. That said, don't expect the vanilla iPhone 17's panel to be on par with those of the Pros - what's recently been rumored is that it won't be variable refresh rate since it won't get an LTPO OLED panel. Aside from this, the leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has also presented us with the performance figures for the upcoming A19 Pro chip which will be powering the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It will allegedly get an over 4,000 single-core score and an over 10,000 multi-core score in Geekbench 6. For reference, note that the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro Max scored 3,490 and 8,606 in our testing, respectively (and it had better performance than the iPhone 16 Pro). So, with that in mind, we're looking at an improvement of 15% in single-core performance and 17% in multi-core performance. The A19 Pro will be made on TSMC's N3P process, expected to also be picked for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, which are both launching the same month as the A19 Pro, so the competition between these three will definitely be interesting to watch.

Liquid Glass on iOS 26 is stunning, it also sucks

We had countless reports that Apple wouldn't talk about AI much at this year's WWDC ( Worldwide Developers Conference ), focusing instead on a complete UI redesign. That turned out to be true, and we got our first look at iOS 26 and its meticulously designed Liquid Glass overhaul. This redesign is, at least in technical terms, quite stunning. The execution, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Apple shows off Liquid Glass for its operating systems. | Video credit — Apple When Apple went into the details of how it created Liquid Glass for iOS 26 , all I could think was that this looked amazing. The craftsmanship here is brilliant, and the company has genuinely put a ton of effort into this example, the glass-based elements across the UI don't just show whatever's hiding behind them, that would have been super easy to do. Instead, Liquid Glass tabs and menus refract the light of the objects behind them, just like real glass would. Apple showed us how it had crafted app icons with actual glass in its design labs to better study how light would bounce off of their unique all technical aspects, Liquid Glass is a marvel of digital engineering. I keep seeing iOS 26 in motion and I keep thinking, 'wow!' Comparing Liquid Glass with Windows Vista or custom Android skins is doing a disservice to just how brilliantly Apple's redesign is is why it's a massive shame that it sucks so much. Liquid Glass on iOS 26. | Image credit — PhoneArena As soon as iPhone users installed the iOS 26 Beta, reports of Liquid Glass and its failures started pouring in across social media. I would have shared some of those posts if the moderators of those communities weren't working overtime to remove all of them. Simply put, Apple's new design needs time in the oven, a lot more time. Menus and other elements that feature text fail to adapt properly to their background, often leading to issues with legibility. Contrast is all over the place and has made notifications almost impossible to decipher. Lastly, whenever there's too many Liquid Glass buttons or menus on the screen at the same time, it leads to a confusing and jumbled up mess. Which entirely defeats the purpose of why Apple made Liquid Glass. The refraction in Liquid Glass is great. | Image credit — Apple I personally think that there is a lot that Apple has done right with iOS 26 . For example, the improvements to the Camera and Phone apps, with the former being a lot less cluttered now. The lock screen also looks pretty neat, when it's not messing up all of your notifications, of course. Unfortunately, Liquid Glass needs a lot of work. Thankfully, iOS 26 is only out as a Beta at the moment, and Apple has months to perfect the new redesign before the public release in fall. This means that some of the stunning new effects on the virtual elements will likely need to be toned down, which is a bummer because they're genuinely very pretty. The level of translucency across Liquid Glass will probably also need to be tweaked, and iOS 26 may actually end up resembling Windows Vista after all. Apple executive Craig Federighi pointed out that the company has been experimenting with translucent elements since iOS 7. It's a shame that they weren't able to perfect it in time for this overhaul. Lastly, even if Liquid Glass looked just as perfect as Apple had intended, it would have still needed to be changed. There have been multiple reports that all of the fancy effects are taking a toll on the processing, and iOS 26 is a laggy experience for many iPhone users. And I haven't even mentioned how iOS 26 is apparently the buggiest Beta in years. Fair warning: this is the buggiest beta 1 in 12 years. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) June 9, 2025 Apple has recently had a string of bad software updates, and it needed to really pull it together for WWDC. In a way, it did. I enjoyed the in-depth look at Liquid Glass and I can see the vision that the company has. But the bugginess and lack of quality control is, unfortunately, expected at this point.
