Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Sees Record Demand In India, Sold Out In Key Markets
Samsung says it received over 210,000 pre-orders for its Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and the Z Flip7 FE within just 48 hours of launch. The Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung India's latest flagship foldable smartphone, has witnessed overwhelming demand, leading to stockouts in several major markets across the country. The company said the unprecedented interest in its seventh-generation foldable line-up has outpaced expectations, with efforts underway at its Noida facility to ramp up production. The South Korean electronics giant, which leads India's consumer electronics market, in a statement said it received over 210,000 pre-orders for its Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and the Z Flip7 FE within just 48 hours of launch — a new record for Samsung foldables in India. This strong consumer response is being viewed as a clear signal of the foldable form factor's rapid move into the smartphone mainstream. 'We would like to thank India's tech-savvy consumers for giving the Galaxy Z Fold7 a blockbuster start," said Raju Pullan, senior vice-president (MX business) of Samsung India. 'We are aware that many markets in the country are facing a shortfall due to huge demand. We are working overtime to ensure adequate supplies of our most advanced smartphone." Retailers across the country are echoing the sentiment. Nilesh Gupta, director at Vijay Sales, said many of their top outlets have already run out of stock. 'Samsung's seventh generation of foldable smartphones, especially the Galaxy Z Fold7, has been performing exceptionally well across our stores. The customer response has been extraordinary." Sandeep Singh Jolly, COO at Electronics Mart India Ltd (Bajaj Electronics), said their flagship stores in key cities have seen a surge in demand. 'It's evident that customers are thrilled with the innovation and premium experience the device offers." Uvaraj Natarajan, CEO of Poorvika Mobiles, said, 'Galaxy Z Fold7 has been a great success with a fabulous response across regions. Stocks are getting liquidated as soon as they arrive." Samsung is pitching the Galaxy Z Fold7 as its smartest and most advanced smartphone yet. Running on One UI 8, the Fold7 integrates deeply with AI tools, including Google's Gemini Live, allowing users to share screens with the assistant and get contextual help. Samsung has also introduced Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), which adds app-specific secure storage for better data privacy, according to the statement. The Fold7 is also the lightest and slimmest in the series so far, weighing just 215 grams, and measuring 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded. The device is available in four colour options: Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Mint, and Jet Black. Upgrades in Design and Power Samsung has upgraded almost every key component in the Fold7. Its Armor FlexHinge features a refined water droplet design and a new multi-rail structure that reduces visible creasing. The cover display is protected by Corning's new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, and the frame uses stronger Armor Aluminum for improved durability, the company said in the statement. Inside, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, delivering significant performance gains — a 41% boost in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU — over the previous generation. This allows more advanced AI processing directly on the device, it added. Another major highlight is the 200MP wide-angle camera, a first for the Galaxy Z series, which promises four times more detail and up to 44% brighter images, backed by Samsung's next-gen ProVisual Engine. tags : Samsung view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 30, 2025, 19:33 IST News business Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Sees Record Demand In India, Sold Out In Key Markets Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 review
Bigger displays and more battery in a slimmer body - reads like a promising summary of the upgrades that the Galaxy Z Flip7 brings. Samsung's better clamshell for 2025 is another one of those refreshes that won't shake up the industry, but should be guaranteed to keep sales high. For the first time in the lineup, there are two Flips this year, and the regular Z Flip7 is joined by a Z Flip7 FE. We'll be reviewing that more affordable model in due time, but until then you can have a look at the Z Flip6's pages - the FE isn't a whole lot different. Now back to the premium Z Flip7. For starters, the cover display cutout is gone - the new model's larger 4.1-inch outer screen stretches across the entire top panel edge to edge. About time. On the inside, the foldable display has grown too - less obviously in diagonal (6.7" to 6.9"), and a bit more tangibly in width. Samsung's also managed to up the battery capacity - 4,300mAh isn't huge but it's nearly as much as the way larger Z Fold7 gets. And all that has been fitted in a body that's thinner than the older model and weighs as much - sure, it's wider, but something had to give. The Z Flip7 falls off the Snapdragon train and is powered by an Exynos 2500 instead - that's bound to trouble comment section warriors. Perhaps the 256GB base storage will calm them down - no more 128GB version.

There's also a SIM tool in case you don't have immediate access to paper clips or earrings. Page 2

Which Foldable Will You Flip For? Comparing Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE
Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware. But the Z Flip 7 isn't the only clamshell foldable Samsung is debuting this summer. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is slightly smaller and bridges the gap between the two generations of Flip models. This "fan edition" is positioned as more of a midrange phone, but the $900 price tag is a substantial chunk of change -- to put it into perspective, that's still $200 more than the latest iteration of Motorola's Razr. The Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE share a lot of similarities, especially when it comes to Samsung's strong commitment to software support. At the end of the day, though, you'll have a clear preference for one design over another -- and that preference might be worth throwing an extra $200 at. If you don't have the time to dive into every facet of these phones, here's the TL;DR: If money isn't an object and you're looking for a Flip model with a cutting edge processor and marginal improvements to the screen size, camera system and battery life, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the clear choice for you. If you're looking for something close to the Z Flip 7 that has a more conservative feature set for less money -- but you're still willing to spend a bit more money than the average midrange phone -- the Galaxy Z Flip FE positively iterates on the Z Flip 6's processing power, battery and operating system. The Z Flip 7 features a larger cover screen than any of its predecessors. Patrick Holland/CNET Design and display Candidly, the biggest and most direct differences between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE are found in the designs of these phones. If you're shelling out an extra $200 for the Z Flip 7, it's probably because of its larger cover screen and thinner body. The Z Flip 7 comes in four different colors. You'll be able to choose from black, grayish blue and red colors in-store, with an additional cool light green Mint color available if you're ordering the foldable online direct from Samsung. The Z Flip 7 FE doesn't feature nearly as many color options -- this particular clamshell device comes in classic black or white, that's it. Those are clean designs, but you lose out on the wider berth of colors available on the Z Flip 7. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 4.1-inch cover screen, which is a pretty substantial increase over its predecessor's 3.4-inch front-facing display. It does this by using the entire area around the camera lenses, which are cut out of the display, instead of the "folder tab" design of the Z Flip 6 and the Z Flip 7 FE. The Z Flip 7's cover screen has a 948x1,048p resolution, which should mean it provides you with a sharper image than the Z Flip 7 FE's 720x748p cover screen. The Z Flip 7 is a more colorful phone than its "fan edition" counterpart. Screenshot by James Martin/CNET Additionally, the Z Flip 7 has a 6.9-inch internal display, which is marginally larger than the Z Flip 7 FE's 6.7-inch flipped-open screen. In terms of resolution, however, the Z Flip 7 FE screen is slightly higher than the Z Flip7, though in practical terms they're remarkably similar: The Z Flip 7's internal screen has a 2,520x1,080p resolution and the Z Flip 7 FE has a 2,640x1,080p resolution, while both foldables should support a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The Z Flip 7 may be thinner than the Z Flip 7 FE, but it doesn't lose much in the way of heftiness. The Z Flip 7 weighs 188g while the Z Flip 7 FE weighs 187g, so they should feel fairly similar stowed away in your pockets. The larger cover screen of the Z Flip 7 will make it easier than ever to organize widgets, check notifications and more. But if you plan to use your phone for gaming or watching videos, you're not losing much screen space with the Z Flip 7 FE's internal screen -- both phones should perform fairly similarly in that regard. The three-camera systems of the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE are fairly similar to one another. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Cameras It's fairly likely that budding photographers won't be giving up anything by choosing the Z Flip 7 FE over the Z Flip 7. Both phones are slated to have a three-camera system, including a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera on the back and a 10-megapixel front-facing internal camera. If you're familiar with Samsung's Z Flip series, you'll recognize that this looks like the same camera system included within 2024's Z Flip 6 model. As far as we know, it has simply been brought forward and integrated into the next generation of Z Flip foldables. With that being said, CNET experts haven't been able to thoroughly test these phones just yet -- while the cameras look the same on paper, it's hard to say just how your pictures will turn out as you snap shots with the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE. But both foldables support Samsung's Galaxy AI photography features. That means you'll be able to edit and change your pictures on the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE on the fly with features like Sketch to Image, which lets users bring doodles to life in the background of their photographs. The clean white Z Flip 7 FE starts out $200 cheaper than the Z Flip 7, although the hardware isn't as powerful. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Battery, processor and storage specs Slight differences in the batteries on the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE will directly translate to how much uptime you get with your phone between charging periods. The Z Flip 7 is powered by a 4,300 mAh battery, which is a 300mAh upgrade from the battery in the Z Flip 6. We expect that owners will be able to put this model through its paces with some more strenuous use and still get a full day of battery life out of it, but we'll know for sure when we can fully test the phone. On the other hand, the Z Flip 7 FE features a 4,000-mAh battery, which appears to be the same size you'd be getting with last year's Z Flip 6 model. Make no mistake about it: You should still be able to eke out a day's worth of activity before needing to charge this phone. But CNET expert Patrick Holland wasn't thrilled with the battery when testing the Z Flip 6, concluding that it was only marginally better than the Galaxy Z Flip 5's battery life, so we would expect similar performance from the Z Flip 7 FE. The only functional difference between the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE in this regard is that 300mAh capacity difference, but most people likely won't actually feel it in their day-to-day lives. If you're constantly filming, video chatting and scrolling through social media at high brightness (or if you're an avid mobile gamer), the Z Flip 7 may let you stay glued to your screen for a bit longer than the Z Flip 7 FE. The other difference between these two foldables lies in their processor specs. The Z Flip 7 is powered by Samsung's own high-end Exynos 2500 chip, while the Z Flip 7 FE has the Exynos 2400. We're assuming the Z Flip 7 will provide slightly better processing power, but more testing will be required to suss out the differences. A similar chip, the Exynos 2400e, in the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE resulted in slightly lower performance than the Samsung Galaxy S24 (running 2023's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip) in our versus testing. Crucially, both phones should have enough memory to support AI tools -- the Z Flip 7 FE is straddling the line with 8GB of RAM -- which is an important benchmark for any new phone right now. The Z Flip 7 comes with 12GB of RAM, so it has stronger support for the integrated AI tools. If storing photos and downloading apps and games is something you do often, the Z Flip 7 has the edge over the Z Flip 7 FE. The Z Flip 7 starts at 256GB of storage with pricier models featuring a fairly large 512GB, whereas the Z Flip 7 FE starts with 128GB of storage and caps out at 256GB of space. The Z Flip 7 model with the least storage capacity matches the Z Flip 7 FE model with the most storage capacity. The Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE both run Android 16. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Software support and AI When it comes to software support for these two models, you aren't missing out on too much by picking one over the other. Both phones run Android 16, which is an upgrade over the Galaxy Z Flip 6's Android 14 operating system -- a result of Google releasing the newest version of Android months earlier than it typically does. Samsung has committed to shipping updates for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE for seven years after their launch date. That means you can expect the latest in software and security capabilities for both phones until at least 2032. If you're the type of person that will trade your phone in every few years, this probably won't be what sways you toward picking up one of the latest Flip phones. But if you're like me, and you keep using a phone until it's on its last legs, this promise means you'll be in good hands if you choose to upgrade to either the Flip 7 or the Flip 7 FE. If AI features are your make-or-break variable for a new phone purchase in 2025, you won't find that much of a difference between the Flip 7 and the Flip 7 FE in that regard, either. Both phones support the full suite of Galaxy AI tools as well as Google's Gemini assistant -- the Flip 7 FE's 8GB of RAM should ensure that it can operate these tools, while we expect that the Flip 7's 12GB of RAM could let you run a couple more taxing apps in tandem with the AI.

Samsung's Z Flip 7 FE is unavailable from US carriers.
Samsung's Z Flip 7 FE is unavailable from US carriers. If you thought Samsung's more affordable flip phone felt like an afterthought during yesterday's Unpacked, apparently so did every major US carrier. SamMobile points out that none of Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T lists the FE, and even Samsung's own site only offers the phone unlocked.
