Amazon Cuts Galaxy Z Flip 7 Price Early, Bundles $200 Gift Card and Double Storage, No Trade-In Needed
If you've ever watched those news stories about people standing in line for days for the latest smartphone drop and wondered what in heck they were thinking, we're right there with you. Scoring a brand-new smartphone doesn't require a sleeping bag, just an amazing pre-order deal like the one Amazon is running right now on the Samsung Galaxy Flip7 — pre-order now and get a free upgrade to the max storage model plus a $200 Amazon gift card. See at Amazon The Galaxy Flip7 officially drops on July 25, but this awesome Amazon deal spares you the aggravation of waiting in line and also ensures this completely redesigned version of the Flip arrives at your door in unlocked format so you can take it to whichever cellular service you use, and it also saves you $320 off the top — the deal that brings you the phone, the free max storage, and the $200 Amazon gift card is just $1,100 if you pre-order by July 24. The Galaxy Flip7 may resemble the previous models of Samsung's popular line of clamshell smartphones, but closer inspection reveals some significant design upgrades. The new Galaxy Flip7 is thinner than the Flip6 — just 6.5mm when unfolded — and its hinge is almost 30% smaller than the one on the Flip6. Like the earlier Galaxy Flip phones, the Flip7 has an outer cover screen you see when the phone is folded and an interior screen when it's open. The Flip7's cover screen has grown to 4.1 inches — over a half-inch larger than that of the Flip6 — and now has the same fast 120Hz refresh rate of the 6.9-inch main interior screen. Samsung's also boosted the battery of the Galaxy Flip7 to 4,300 mAh, 300 more than the Flip6, and did so while shrinking the overall thickness of the Flip7. And like virtually all of Samsung's smartphones, the Galaxy Flip7 is built with truly stellar cameras: a 50-megapixel wide-angle main camera that supports 10-bit HDR videos and has a new zoom slider, and a 10MP selfie camera in the main screen. The Galaxy Flip7 promises to be a spectacular phone and we're expecting rave reviews and huge demand when it officially hits stores on July 25, but aside from avoiding the long lines, there are other advantages to pre-ordering it from Amazon and having it show up at your door. The pre-order deal brings you the Galaxy Flip7 in unlocked format, so you can bring it to any cellular carrier for service and avoid the costly installment plans that usually accompany a new smartphone. You'll also get the Large Storage model of the Galaxy Flip7 at no extra cost. Then there are the financial benefits — a 23% price cut right off the bat from Amazon, dropping the price from $1,420 to $1,100, and the added incentive of a $200 Amazon gift card thrown in for free. So when you see those people standing in line for their Galaxy Flip7, chuckle to yourself in the knowledge that yours will be hitting your mailbox right away, and that you scored a much better deal without ever leaving the house.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Specs vs. Motorola Razr Ultra: Comparing the High-End Flip Phones
Samsung's Galaxy Flip 7 was unveiled at the company's July Galaxy Unpacked event, debuting a redesigned cover screen, a slightly thinner body and -- unlike the now-$2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 -- will keep the $1,100 price of Samsung's prior Flip phones. Now Playing: Ultra Thin: First Look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 02:45 This Z Flip 7 will face Motorola's $1,300 Razr Ultra, which has a similar flip design but takes a different approach. Even though Motorola's phone costs $200 more, the company touts several specs and design enhancements meant to justify the higher price. This includes support for a 165Hz refresh rate on both the cover display and the internal display, whereas the Flip 7 runs at a still very smooth 120Hz. The Razr Ultra includes three 50-megapixel cameras for its wide, ultrawide and selfie cameras, while the Flip 7 goes with a 50-megapixel wide, 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10-megapixel selfie camera. The Razr Ultra can also be purchased with unique design materials such as wood or Alcantara fabric. The Ultra also starts with 512GB of storage, whereas the Flip starts at 256GB. The Flip 7's 512GB model does still undercut the Ultra on price though at $1,220. The Motorola Razr Ultra comes in a variety of finishes including Alcantara (left) and wood (middle). Numi Prasarn/CNET The Z Flip 7 does have a few other pluses to keep in mind over the Razr Ultra, in addition to the lower price. The Flip 7 has a slightly larger 4.1-inch cover screen than the 4-inch on the Razr, although in exchange the internal display is a touch smaller at 6.9-inches versus 7-inch on the Razr. The Z Flip 7 is a hair lighter than the Razr, although we wouldn't call this a "light" phone like the S25 Edge. Looking at longevity, the Flip 7 has Samsung's seven-year commitment for software updates and security updates, meaning you should be able to use this phone safely all the way through 2032, whereas the Razr Ultra is getting only three years of major software updates and four years of security updates. To further compare the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Motorola Razr Ultra, check out the specs chart featuring each phone below.

Samsung Exec Talks Galaxy Z Fold 7, Design And The Importance Of AI
Samsung has just launched its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Flip7. Although the folding phone is a category that Samsung more or less created, these days there are folders from rivals such as Motorola, Google, Huawei, OnePlus, Honor and more. So, how does Samsung stay out in front? Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 in Shadow Blue Jay Kim is Samsung's Head of Customer Experience Office, overseeing planning for the company's Galaxy devices, from cellphones to wearables, PCs to tablets and more, and spoke to me prior to the launch. 'We've put so much effort into foldable phones over a long time. We had a prototype back in 2011 and now this is the seventh-generation model. It's not just the hardware, it's also the software and experience of using it that we've been working on. Now, it's getting to a tipping point where it can jump and become a mainstream premium device,' Kim said. As more folding phones join the market, Samsung needs to be different. 'Our position compared to rivals is durability,' he said, 'It's something we don't compromise on. We have a strong position there. You have to work to optimize the content so what you see is a continuation from the external screen to the internal ones. I worked closely with Google for many years to make sure that the operating system really fits.' 'The second part is, I think the AI experience on the phone is something that will probably continue to lead and set the standard for the mobile industry. As you know, we introduced the Galaxy S24 as the first AI phone,' Kim explained. 'Eight or ten years ago there was Google Assistant, Alexa, Katana and Bixby, and though people were wowed by them, expectation was high but the technology was terrible. Basically, it was mostly hype. Now, the technology is actually higher than the expectation,' Kim went on. 'We can focus on agentic AI and an integrated AI platform, because it's getting ready to be more of an ecosystem. Our focus is more on multimodal AI, one that's becoming more personal.' Multimodal AI refers to how you can interact with, say, a mobile phone with touch, voice and vision, rather than touch alone. 'Unless it's personal it becomes less relevant so we're starting to think about more personalization in terms of how to bring more meaning to the the features that you use every day. AI will be the strong differentiator that we have against the competition and I think we're in a good position to make that work.' So, how much do consumers woarry about AI? 'Whether it's AI or whether it's something else, I don't think the consumer cares that much. They just want to get it done. And our work is to make sure that consumers can get it done easily,' Kim says. Finally, there's the matter of making the phone thinner. The new phone is barely more than half the thickness of the original Fold, and around 25% thinner than last year's model. As Kim says, 'Before we got to where we are, there were six years of engineering: the main reduction of thickness, we did it in one year. We re-engineered a lot of things, we used different materials, titanium layers and we completely re-engineered how we did it. So, we're not afraid to change how we design things,' Kim said.

Galaxy Flip 7: maxed-out cover screen and thinner design! (hands-on)
Samsung's flip phone just got bigger, smarter, and way cooler, and I'm happy that I already got to spend some time with it. From my initial testing of the Samsung Galaxy Flip 7, one thing immediately becomes clear: it certainly doesn't rewrite the flip rulebook, but, to be honest, it doesn't need to. Instead, it comes with a series of smart, tactical upgrades that easily transform it into a much finer everyday phone. The biggest and most obvious change to the Galaxy Flip 7 's design is the expanded cover screen. It's now 4.1', up from 3.4", with dramatically thinner, 1.25mm bezels. This change from a screen that almost covers the whole front, to a screen that absolutely maxes out the available real estate, makes for a huge difference in the way the Flip 7 is perceived. To me, it automatically makes for a way more modern and cutting-edge appearance, instantly casting the Flip 6's look as outdated and… less cool. But the cover display is not just larger – it's better: it now supports 120Hz refresh rate and hits a whopping 2600 nits of peak brightness, essentially mimicking the main display's properties. This makes it way more pleasant to operate and view outdoors. On top of that, Samsung is giving the Flip 7 's cover display expanded functionality. The newly introduced Now Bar, for example, will now be available straight from the cover screen. Likewise, Gemini Live can also be summoned directly with the lid closed. You can even go a step further and use the main camera + Gemini Live at the same time. An example use case here would be to have the phone 'look' at your outfit and help generate style suggestions. I'm not sure how many people would use it for this particular purpose, but there will certainly be many use cases discovered for this setup. The internal display of the Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 has also grown slightly — from 6.7 to 6.9 inches — while adopting a more traditional 21:9 aspect ratio, which makes it feel more like a normal phone. The panel is still a sharp Dynamic AMOLED 2X, with 120Hz refresh and the same 2600-nit peak brightness as the cover. All in all, a lovely display. Aside from that, it's worth mentioning that this is actually the thinnest Galaxy Flip phone yet. Thanks to a 30% slimmer hinge, a redesigned camera module and other improvements, the Galaxy Flip 7 now has a profile of 6.5mm when open. Both the increased width of the phone, as well as the reduced thickness are very welcome enhancements in my book. The reworked 50MP main camera of the Galaxy Flip 7 brings sharper detail and improved low-light capture thanks to the improved ProVisual Engine. It's paired with a 12MP ultra-wide and another 10MP selfie cam inside. I say another, because if you have the Flip, you have absolutely no excuse not to use the main camera to take your selfies. You also get Samsung's new Auto Zoom feature, which will make hands-free vlogging or capturing yourself in motion easier, as it's supposed to help position you in the frame properly. After the Flip 6 got a battery capacity upgrade to 4000 mAh, it's great to know that Samsung has again managed to fit an even larger unit inside the Galaxy Flip 7 . The new flip packs a 4300mAh battery, the largest ever in a Flip device. Samsung says that's good for up to 31 hours of video playback – but we'll see how that holds up in the PhoneArena Battery Test over the next week or so and come back with the results in our review. On the surface, the Galaxy Flip 7 looks like a mild refresh – but the sum of its upgrades is greater than the spec sheet suggests. The bigger, brighter cover screen and even more useful inner display make this feel far more like a modern smartphone – and a much more practical foldable. It's not radical. It's tactical. And it works. Now, the question on everyone's mind would be: is there a price increase? And I'm happy to say that no, there isn't. Galaxy Flip 7 prices again start from $1100 for 256 GB / 12 GB RAM, and go up to $1220 for 512 GB of storage and 12 GB RAM. Phew! Now that we have that out of the way, you should also keep in mind that the Flip 7 is on pre-order starting July 9, and will be shipping on July 25. If I were in the market for the Galaxy Flip 7 , I'd also look out for any deals Samsung is going to run, as those are often pretty great and not to be missed. What's your take on the Galaxy Flip 7 ?
