Video Description

Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs the Flip 7 FE, or Fan Edition, by comparing the camera setup, battery life, gaming prowess and more. Should you save money with the Samsung Flip 7 FE, or spend more on the flagship flip phone? Check out this special offer on the Z Flip 7 phones: https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=dkCL5J0vgHo&mid=53591&murl=https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip7/buy/ While my favourite mini foldable smartphone of 2025 is still the Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra, Sammy has made some decent strides with this latest model. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 boasts a similar cover screen and bigger battery, but the camera tech remains the same as before. Gaming is possible, if not as strong, while this dinky flipper also offers Android 16 and long support. However, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, or Fan Edition, is a serious downgrade. This budget model isn't actually cheap and more akin to the Flip 6 from last year. Battery life isn't as good, while the performance and features also can't match the Samsung Flip 7. But anyway, here's a proper side-by-side so you can see exactly what's changed and what I reckon, one week later. Check out my review of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 which went live last Friday, and stay tuned for my full Fold 7 thoughts!
