Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Review: The Flip in its prime
Let's be honest: Samsung has been sleepwalking the whole foldable phone thing, lulled to sleep by the lack of real competition. The evolution of the Flip series in particular has been painfully slow. However, in the past couple of years, the competition finally showed up in the face of the Motorola Razr series. With edge-to-edge screens and sleek designs, Motorola showed that a better flip phone was possible. It has taken Samsung a while to wake up from that sleep, but awake it is with the new Flip 7 , which is everything flip phone users wanted. It's the Flip in its prime, and it would have been perfect, if not for this one little detail. $720 off (59%) Pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at Samsung and save $120 as a free storage upgrade on the 512GB variant. On top of that, you'll save up to $600 with eligible device trade-ins. Alternatively, you can get it with a $150 Samsung Instant Credit. Pre-order at Samsung $560 off (58%) For the first time, Samsung launched a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE alongside the flagship flip phone. Pre-order the budget flip phone at the Samsung Store and save up to $500 with eligible trade-ins. On top of that, the 256GB model is $60 off before trade-ins. Pre-order at Samsung At the moment of publishing this review, the Flip 7 scores second on our Flip phone ranking, falling behind the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025). The main reason for that are the lower performance scores, as the Razr uses the much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The Galaxy holds its own in other aspects and beats the Motorola when it comes to software. Keep in mind that there is a big gap in the price of these two flip phones — $1,100 for the Flip 7 and $1,300 for the Razr Ultra. For more detail, we have our direct Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Razr Ultra comparison. Table of Contents: The Flip 7 has everything you expect to see in a flagship flip phone. Well, almost everything: Yep, the exception is that Samsung Exynos 2500 chip inside it, not a Snapdragon chip! Why? And really? But also, does it really matter? We explain more in the performance section. Samsung has been on a mission of its own in the world: make phones thinner and lighter. And while many people might criticize it for not including bigger batteries, we think that there is a lot of value in slimmer devices. In the case of the Flip 7 , it's about a millimeter thinner and a tiny bit lighter. Those might seem like small details, but they matter. Samsung also brings colors back, especially with that saturated blue color on the Flip 7 , and have you seen the Coral Red version? It's time we moved away from boring phones indeed. You also have a fourth option, the mint colorway, only available via There is nothing remarkable in the box of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. You'd find the standard USB-C charging cable, a SIM tool, the user manuals, but no charger, no pre-applied screen protector and nothing else really. There are two screens to discuss here and both have received some welcome upgrades. The 4.1-inch size of the "Flex Window" aka the cover screen is the big highlight, and it's such a massive difference that you don't fully appreciate until you start using the phone. And did we mention this is now a 120Hz screen, a big upgrade from the 60Hz refresh rate on the cover screen of the Flip 6? Nice. The other difference is the slightly wider 21:9 aspect ratio of the main screen, a change from the taller 22:9 aspect ratio Samsung used before. Again, a small detail that helps a lot with usability. Our display lab tests that we run diligently for every phone show good numbers for peak brightness (look at the 20% number for the best reference). The Flip 7 can also get very dim for comfortable use at night, a trick that not many other phones can do. When it comes to biometrics, you have a fingerprint scanner embedded in the power key, and it works as you'd expect — fast and accurate. There are no changes in the camera hardware on the Flip 7 . It's the same 50MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultra-wide one. In our camera benchmark, the Flip 7 scored roughly on par with the Flip 6 with some slight differences when it comes to detail resolution and exposure a direct sample photo comparison with the Flip 6, we noticed the quality has improved in some photos, in particular, look much more detailed. In lower light, detail used to be very soft on the Flip 6, which is not the case on the newer model. When taking pictures with the main camera, the Flip 7 exposes the shadows more and has a slightly different look. One issue that Samsung has eliminated is HDR artifacts, which were occasionally visible on the Flip 6, and you practically don't have them on the 7. In photos taken with the ultra-wide camera, the excessive sharpening on the Flip 6 is finally fixed too for a cleaner detail. All those changes are subtle things but they do make for better photos. Video recording quality has not changed much between the Flip 7 and Flip 6, but thanks to the much bigger cover screen, recording your vlogs now looks so much better. This is, honestly, the most fun part of owning a flip phone, and I think it's a really big selling point. One option missing when you are recording from the cover screen, however, is LOG video recording. You can only access that when you open the Flip and go into the Pro video mode. Compared to rival phones, it's noticeable that there is more noise (even in daylight) on the Flip 7 footage, while the Razr Ultra videos look much cleaner. Remember we told you there was one little detail that spoils the picture for the Flip 7 ? Well, here it is: the Samsung Exynos 2500 chip inside it, coupled with 12GB of RAM. This is the first Flip phone not launching with a Snapdragon processor, and the benchmark results immediately show that this new Exynos chip is a compromise. But is it a deal-breaker? We don't think so. The Flip 7 runs buttery smooth in daily use and you don't notice the lack of a true flagship processor. However, it's also fair to ask for a high-end chip considering the high-end price you pay for the Flip 7 . In CPU tests, we see a noticeable gap between the Flip 7 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Razr Ultra. GPU Performance The gap is even bigger when you look at gaming performance, with the Razr Ultra achieving nearly double the scores after all the throttling that usually comes with an intense gaming session. Will gamers rush to buy this phone? Probably not. And for most people, we don't think this would be much of an issue, but it is something to keep in mind. We do like that Samsung has at least not cheapened out on the storage front. You get 256GB UFS 4.0 storage in the base version, as it should be. Galaxy Z Flip 7 Software With Android 16 on board and One UI 8, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has the most modern software you can get. Couple this with Samsung's awesome promise for seven years of OS upgrades, and you are looking at a device that will last you far more than other rivals. In case you are wondering, One UI 8 does not look much different than One UI 7. We like Samsung's little design tweaks that make the interface look a bit more modern (and a bit more iOS-like). What we don't like is that Samsung still treats the cover screen as a place for widgets, and not a fully operational screen. Instead of giving you free reign to place apps, Samsung forces you to use geeky apps like GoodLock with the MultiStar module just to use all of your apps on the cover screen. For some reason, Samsung insists on preloading a bunch of useless widgets on the cover screen. That's in stark contrast to Motorola's approach with the Razr where you can fully customize the cover screen from the get go. On the flipside, we have a long awaited addition to the Flip 7 — DeX! Samsung's desktop software was previously only available on the traditional candybar phones and the Fold series, but not on the Flip. Thankfully, the Flip 7 fixes that and while DeX is still not perfect, it can be a life-saver and I know many enthusiasts who absolutely love the feature. We have used it with a cable and a hub connecting to a 1440p Dell monitor and the trick is to enable the "High resolutions for external display" option in GoodLock (the MultiStar module). The Flip 7 upgrades to a 4,300 mAh battery, nearly 8% bigger than the 4,000 mAh one on the Flip 7 . It's not the biggest upgrade and this is still a 10% smaller battery size than on the Razr Ultra, but it's a step in the right direction (while keeping the form factor slim). We have run our in-house battery lab tests, so let's see the results. On our lightest web browsing test, the Flip 7 scores nearly 19 hours, a cool three hours better than the Flip 6. On our second test, YouTube video streaming, the Flip 7 lasts for 9 hours and a half, which is half an hour more than the Flip 6. Overall, we estimate the Flip 7 to last around 7 hours with mixed use, a slight improvement over the 6 hours and 45 minutes we estimated for the Flip 6. Unfortunately, charging speeds have not improved at all. With 25W wired charging, it still takes around 1 hour and a half to fully top up the Flip 7 , and a 30-minute charge gives you around 50% of your battery back. Wireless charging is 15W, so expect to wait around three hours for a full wireless charge. One area where Flip phones fall behind most other flagships is loudspeaker quality. The Flip 7 is, unfortunately, not great at this either. Compared to a Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 16 Pro Max, it lacks the boom and the volume. We guess the reason is the limited space for a speaker in a flip form factor, but the result is clearly speakers that lack significantly in the lower frequencies. Still, compared to the Flip 6, the Flip 7 offers slightly better and cleaner sound. The volume is about the same (on the quiet side), but the sound is a bit cleaner. You notice this especially in busy parts of songs, where the Flip 6 can sound muddy, mixing all instruments into one bigger mess, while the Flip 7 maintains better separation. Haptics have not changed much and are still quite decent, but not more than that. While the Flip 7 is not quite the generational leap as the Fold 7, it's still a very big improvement. The larger cover screen feels downright luxurious compared to the teeny one used on the previous models. Coupled with a slightly bigger battery and a slimmer design, the Flip 7 is a looker. Summarizing the downsides, there are two things that stand out. One is how Samsung treats the cover screen as some sort of a widget center rather than allowing users to fully customize it, and the other is the Exynos 2500 chipset, which is not flagship-grade. But those are not dealbreakers and with its long software support and many other little improvements, the Flip 7 regains the crown as the go-to Flip phone for buyers.

Don't care much for Samsung's latest high-end flip phone? Well, if you're looking for a flip experience, the Motorola Razr Ultra is a great alternative. Undoubtedly pricey, the maxed-out 1TB version is once again receiving a free storage upgrade at the official store, bringing it to $1,299.99 from $1,499.99. $1299 99 $1499 99 $200 off (13%) Once again, you can save big on the 1TB Razr Ultra (2025). The flip flagship is $200 off with a free storage upgrade at the Motorola Store, but you can unlock extra savings with eligible device trade-ins. This offer is not available in your area. Trade-in $499 99 $1219 99 $720 off (59%) Alternatively, you can pre-order the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with a free storage upgrade. If you provide an eligible trade-in, you can save an extra $600. If you don't have a trade-in, pre-order the device with a $150 Samsung Instant Credit. There's a $50 Reservation Credit available for users who reserved a unit. This offer is not available in your area. We initially came across this promo during the Razr Ultra's pre-order period in May. The promo lived on long after pre-orders ended, but then disappeared, only to return once again now. So, if you missed pre-orders or your other chances to get the 1TB model at the price of the 512GB, now's a great time to also like to point out that you can get way more value for your money by providing a trade-in. The Motorola Store accepts trade-ins from various brands, including Google, Apple, Samsung, and Motorola. If you think the Motorola phone is too pricey even with these discounts, consider pre-ordering the Galaxy Z Flip 7. For a limited time, the device ships with a free storage upgrade ($120 off). An eligible device trade-in helps unlock an extra discount of up to $600, saving you up to $720 on its 512GB variant, which usually costs $1,219.99. But if you're OK with the higher asking price, the Motorola Razr Ultra absolutely packs a punch. It features a 4-inch cover display and a 7-inch main touchscreen with gimmicky 165Hz refresh rate, vibrant colors, and crisp resolution. You also get superb Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, impressive 16GB RAM, and massive 1TB storage. But that's not all! Motorola's latest flip flagship boasts multiple AI features and a relatively large (for a flip phone) 4,700mAh battery with 68W wired charging support. The only downside is that you only get three years of OS upgrades with this Android phone. Don't forget to check out our full Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) review for more insights into this high-end device. Sure, the Razr Ultra isn't cheap, but it's definitely worth considering for what it offers. And now that it's $200 off with a free storage upgrade, you still have time to act!

Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S24 FE: Small upgrades or big reasons to wait?
Samsung's Fan Edition lineup has steadily evolved into a reliable choice for those seeking near-flagship specs at more reasonable prices. Last year's Galaxy S24 FE impressed us with its performance, display, and camera system, offering plenty of value at $649. Now, all eyes are on the Galaxy S25 FE, expected to debut in the fall of 2025. So what will be new with the S25 FE? Based on what we know so far, the Galaxy S25 FE is shaping up to deliver a larger battery, faster charging, and a newer Exynos chip, while keeping the same display size and general camera setup. In this comparison, we look at all the expected differences between the Galaxy S25 FE and its predecessor, so you can decide if it's worth waiting for the next Fan Edition phone. $462 off (71%) The Galaxy S24 FE is up for grabs at the official Samsung Store. Currently, you can save up to $462 with eligible trade-ins. There are no alternative discounts right now. Buy at Samsung The Galaxy S24 FE is also available at Amazon. The base storage configuration featuring 128GB of built-in space is 19% off at Amazon, but only in its Graphite variant. Buy at Amazon Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S24 FE expected differences: *rumored/expected Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary Read more: Galaxy S25 FE vs Galaxy S25 Plus From what we've seen so far, the Galaxy S25 FE will retain the same flat-sided design language as the Galaxy S24 FE , but with slightly refined dimensions. The new model is said to be a thinner at 7.4mm vs 8mm and a bit more compact overall. It will also be significantly lighter at 190 grams. These tweaks will likely impact the feel in hand greatly, as the Fan Edition galaxy phones have been on the hefty side so far. Materials are expected to remain similar: Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front, with an aluminum frame. Both models should offer the same IP68 water and dust resistance. *rumored/expected Samsung is also mixing things up on the color front. The Galaxy S24 FE came in five vibrant colors, including Yellow and Mint. For the S25 FE, we're expecting a similar palette, though no final list has been confirmed yet. In the box, we expect no charger. There will likely be just a USB-C cable, a SIM tool, and documentation, as has become the norm for Galaxy phones in recent years. Display Differences The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to keep the same 6.7-inch AMOLED display as its predecessor, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The key difference lies in brightness: the S25 FE is rumored to hit 2600 nits peak brightness, compared to the S24 FE's 1900 nits rating. That could make a noticeable difference in outdoor visibility. *rumored/expected Both displays are FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2340), and likely have similar contrast and color reproduction. The S24 FE's display offered decent sharpness and vibrant colors, though we noted inconsistent color accuracy in our review — something we hope Samsung will address on the S25 are expected to remain unchanged with both phones using an under-display fingerprint sensor, which was fast and reliable on the S24 FE. Face unlock is still expected to be present for convenience, but not secure enough for payments. The Galaxy S24 FE ran on the Exynos 2400e — a downclocked version of the Exynos 2400 found in Samsung's flagships. It performed well in benchmarks, offering a big leap over the S23 FE, and even handled gaming with ray tracing fairly smoothly thanks to improved thermals and a larger vapor chamber. *rumored/expected The S25 FE, however, is expected to use the full Exynos 2400 chip, which could further improve sustained performance, especially under heavy workloads. The jump from 8 GB to 12 GB of RAM across all configurations will also help with multitasking and memory options are expected to remain the same: 128 G, 256 GB, and 512 GB, likely with UFS 4.0 speeds. We expect Samsung's long-term software support promise of 7 years of OS and security updates to apply as much to the S25 FE as it does to the S24 FE. The S24 FE launched with Android 14 and One UI 6.1, while the S25 FE will likely debut with Android 16 and One UI 7. As for AI, some tools on the S24 FE — like Photo Assist and Sketch to Image — felt half-baked in our tests, so we hope for a more polished experience on the S25 FE. Also, features like Note Assist and Generative Edit may still require cloud access. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to reuse the exact camera system from the S24 FE, which includes a 50 MP main sensor, 12 MP ultra-wide, and 8 MP 3x telephoto camera, along with a 12 MP front-facing shooter. *rumored/expected While this may seem like a missed opportunity, it's worth remembering that the S24 FE already had one of the best camera setups in its class. The main sensor delivered sharp, well-exposed photos with high dynamic range and realistic colors, while the telephoto lens performed well up to 3x zoom. The ultra-wide camera was the weakest link, with softer detail even in performance was solid, especially from the main camera. Samsung's smooth transition between lenses during recording and strong stabilization helped keep footage looking steady and consistent. If Samsung refines image processing or brings over more advanced computational photography from the flagship S25 series, the S25 FE might still surprise us despite using the same hardware. The Galaxy S24 FE offered solid battery life in our tests, with a 4700 mAh cell powering up to 15 hours of web browsing and over 10 hours of gaming. The S25 FE will raise the bar with a 4900 mAh battery, closing in on flagship-sized capacity. *rumored/expected That extra 200 mAh might not sound like much, but combined with more efficient tuning or power management improvements in One UI 7 , it could lead to longer screen-on time — especially given the same FHD+ is also getting an upgrade. The S24 FE topped out at 25W wired charging, taking 1h 21m to fill the tank. The S25 FE is rumored to support 45W wired charging, which could reduce full charging times significantly. Both phones support 15W wireless charging. *rumored/expected The Galaxy S25 FE doesn't shake things up too much, but it will seemingly bring a few notable changes. With a brighter screen, bigger battery, faster charging, and a likely performance bump thanks to the full Exynos 2400 chip and 12 GB of RAM, the series will be ripe for that "Fan Edition" moniker. Still, those who already own the S24 FE probably won't need to upgrade. Where it might make a real difference is for new buyers. If Samsung can stick to its competitive pricing of $650, the S25 FE might be the most affordable way to get near-flagship performance, great cameras, and seven years of support.

Tech Editor's Pick: This Rare 43% Off Samsung Frame TV Deal Won't Last
If you're someone who values a blend of tech performance and style in your home, hurry and grab one of these stellar Samsung Frame TV deals before Amazon's four-day Prime Day event ends tonight. As the tech editor for Forbes Vetted, I've personally tested dozens of TVs, including the Frame TV. I've experienced firsthand both its vibrant, 4K-resolution movie-viewing experience and the customizable, matte-coated art display it turns into when idle. If you want to turn your TV into a masterpiece, I recommend snagging the 75-inch The Frame QLED 4K TV that's marked down nearly 45% in the Samsung store, on Amazon and other retailers right now (the second lowest price I've seen on this panel—but that might not be the case after today). I found several steep markdowns on Samsung's popular Frame TVs still live for Prime Day—but the sale ... More ends today. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTOS: RETAILER This and the rest of the newer Samsung Frame TV models make it difficult to distinguish an actual piece of art from a TV, something I found very impressive in person. The key is in its matte coating, which looks great in any space while keeping the picture glare-free. The TV also ships with Samsung Tizen, which I find intuitive to use: It gives you access to your favorite apps, the Samsung Gaming Hub and Samsung Plus TV (Samsung's free streaming channels). Samsung Plus TV is also where you can access the Samsung Art Store, which features a collection of artworks, many in collaboration with such world-renowned museums as New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Paris's Musée d'Orsay. You can also add a customizable bezel—either in Rose Gold, White or Brown—for an extra cost. MOST POPULAR Samsung Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV (75-Inch) Why It's A Good Deal: You'll save almost $1,300 with this Prime Day deal, on Samsung's site and Amazon and other retailers. This is the second lowest price I've seen on this panel—just note that this deal includes only the TV itself without bezel customizations. While the 75-inch model has the largest price cut, there are similar savings on the other models, which you can find below on Amazon or directly on Samsung's site, like 40% off the 65-inch Frame TV . You can also shop more of my favorite Prime Day TV deals if The Frame isn't quite right for your needs, or browse through more of the best Samsung Frame TV deals I found below. Samsung Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV (65-Inch) Those looking for other sizes of this top-notch lifestyle TV should check out the Samsung Frame TV deals on four other sizes, including this 65-inch. Like the featured deal on the 75-inch Frame TV, these sizes also offer a vivid, high-brightness picture via their 4K resolution, as well as an idle Art Mode that uses an anti-reflective matte coating to turn your TV into a piece of art (the reason our tech contributors crowned it the best Samsung TV for wall mounting). Why It's A Good Deal: This sale price is $2 below the previous lowest recorded price for the 65-inch Frame TV—making this a new all-time low. Amazon Samsung The Frame Pro Neo QLED 4K TV (65-Inch, 2025) If you're looking for an even newer, more decked-out model of the Samsung Frame TV, try the 2025 version of the Pro, which clinched a spot on my list of the best 65-inch TVs of 2025. You get the same access to world-renowned art through Samsung's Art Store—and on a TV that can handle color fluctuations masterfully. Case in point: It handled both somber, dark scenes from Arcane and vibrant action sequences in Mad Max: Fury Road equally well. Plus, its wide viewing angle means you can place it in the roomiest space without compromising on image quality. Why It's A Good Deal: This is an all-time low price for the Samsung 65-Inch The Frame Pro ($15 less than its previous lowest recorded sale price). Is Samsung Frame TV Worth Buying? The Samsung Frame TV is a high-end television that displays artwork (or photos) when turned off, so it serves a dual purpose. It makes an ideal purchase when you want to place a TV in a high-traffic area where you'd rather not have an ugly blank screen staring back at you. What Is The Point Of The Samsung Frame TV? The main purpose of the Samsung Frame TV is to watch entertainment, but it also serves as an art display (if you choose) when you turn it off. In fact, The Frame was the first TV from a major manufacturer that was designed to display artwork when it wasn't being used to watch TV shows or movies (though there are a handful of competitors making similar TVs now). Is Frame TV QLED Or OLED? The Frame TV is an QLED television, which is a higher quality type of LED display. Some prefer OLED displays that might offer even richer images and better contrast. Samsung makes a number of OLED TVs, too.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 just announced — and it's a massive all-around upgrade
We've just seen the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 debut at Galaxy Unpacked, revealing that the rumors were true: this is the biggest design upgrade to Samsung's phone in the past five years. Retailing at $1,999/£1,799/AU$2,899 — unfortunately an increased price for the U.S. market — Samsung's promoting its latest book-style foldable as its thinnest and lightest yet. And the numbers back that up - at 8.9mm thick folded and 4.2mm unfolded, it's 3.2mm and 1.6mm thinner than the last-gen Galaxy Z Fold 6. Weighing in at 215 grams (7.58 ounces), The Z Fold 7 is also 24 grams lighter than its 2024 counterpart, while being larger overall, with an 8-inch inner screen and a wider 6.5-inch cover display, rather than a 7.6-inch and 6.3-inch combo. Samsung's been working on durability too. A revised Armor Flex Hinge keeps the two halves of the phone together, featuring a gentler waterdrop curve to reduce the crease in the inner screen. That main display is protected by a new, lighter lattice structure made of titanium, and 50% thicker ultra-thin glass on top. Samsung has also used Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on back, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front display and an Advanced Armor Aluminum body everywhere else to make sure this two-grand foldable is as tough as it can be. Sadly, Samsung has decided to drop S Pen support from the inner display, making this the first Z Fold since the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to lack stylus support. If you want that, you'll now have to go to the non-foldable Galaxy S25 Ultra. You can pick up the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in Blue Shadow, Jet Black or Silver Shadow colorways. Mint is also available exclusively from the Samsung Store if you like your phones to look fresh. As you may have gathered from Samsung's teasers for the Z Fold 7, it's received an Ultra-style camera upgrade. It now uses a 200MP main camera, the same as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, except with a slimmer profile to fit within the Fold's body. This joins the familiar 10MP 3x telephoto camera and a 12MP ultrawide, although the latter camera now comes with autofocus and macro mode capabilities. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For selfies there are now 10MP sensors inside and out. But now the inner camera uses a punch-hole notch instead of the under-display camera of previous generations. This is a great change that should hopefully make the inner selfie camera much more useful, capable of taking sharper images. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the latest and greatest chipset for flagship Android devices, but with a Galaxy-specific tune-up. By default, the phone features 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, but you can upgrade to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage if you prefer, or a massive 16GB and 1TB if you've got money to burn. Samsung has not upgraded the Galaxy Z Fold 7's charging or battery specs. The battery has a capacity of 4,400 mAh, like previous Z Folds, and still has 25W for wired charging and 15W for wireless charging. One UI 8, Samsung's Android 16-based operating system, debuts with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, bringing new abilities like a moveable Gemini response window for more flexible AI use, split-screen mode for generative image edits, Suggest Erases mode to help clear up your photos and the expansion of Audio Eraser to automatically clear up sounds in videos, voice recordings and calls. Now Brief and the Now Bar return from the Galaxy S25 series, while the now-familiar Circle to Search mode can help provide tips in-game. And Samsung has kept its promise of seven full years of OS and security updates intact to make sure these features will only be joined by more in future. You can read our thoughts on this new foldable in our Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on. But there's more to check out from today's announcements, like the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE foldables, and the Galaxy Watch 8. And for the very latest from Samsung's showcase, check our Galaxy Unpacked live blog.
