Samsung has just priced its new foldable smartphones in Argentina, and this time it really seems they’ve listened to user complaints. The Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7 and the new Galaxy Z Flip7 FE promise to be thinner, lighter and more functional than their predecessors.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the star of the show. At just 8.9mm thick when closed (compared to the 12mm of the previous model), it finally manages to feel like a normal phone in your pocket. And here’s the detail that surprised me most: it weighs only 215 grams, less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra at 218 grams.
The 6.5-inch external display keeps the standard dimensions we already know, but when you open it, you’re greeted by an 8-inch internal display that’s 11% larger than the previous generation. It’s like carrying a tablet that turns into a phone, or vice versa.
Samsung also worked on the details that really matter. The hinge is more resistant and reduces the visibility of the crease (that annoying fold you see on the screen). In addition, they’ve incorporated the same 200-megapixel main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, so photos should be up to par with the best smartphones on the market.
The Galaxy Z Flip7 also got its share of improvements. The external display now covers the entire cover at 4.1 inches, the largest in the sector. This means you can do much more without having to open the phone. The battery grew almost 10%, going from 4000 to 4300 mAh, something users had been asking for for a long time.
The novelty this year is the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, a more affordable version that keeps the essentials but with some concessions. A smaller external display, a less powerful chip, but it’s still a functional foldable for those who want to try this technology without emptying their wallet.
All three devices come with Android 16 and One UI 8, loaded with artificial intelligence features. They’re available for pre-order until August 7, with official availability on August 8. Will this be the generation that finally makes foldables go mainstream? Time will tell, but the signs are promising.
