Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and 7 FE UK release date and how to pre-order

Just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE are available to pre-order right now, having been released this afternoon (Wednesday 9th July) at 3pm.

General availability will start from Friday 25th July.

You might remember that its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 had an RRP of £1,049, but what does this mean for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7?

While we expected the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 to come in at a higher price-point, Samsung has surprised us and kept the price of the new flip phone at £1,049 for 12GB RAM + 256GB, and £1,149 for 12GB RAM + 512GB.

The Samsung Z Flip 7 FE is priced slightly lower, at £849 for 8GB RAM +128GB, and £909 for 8GB + 256GB.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes in at 4.1-inches on the display cover screen, which is larger than its predecessor, with a 6.7-inch display when open.

The new flip phone also boasts its thinnest bezel yet, at just 1.25mm. However, don’t be fooled by this tiny hinge, it sure is mighty! While the hinge comes in at 30% thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, it’s an armour flex hinge.

Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with the handy Now Bar on the display cover screen; the Now Bar offers personalised insights such as live notifications, music, and routines.

This smartphone comes in Blue Shadow, Jetblack and Coral colourways, with Mint exclusively available at the official Samsung website.

Before we get into all of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7’s incredible features, we want to quickly talk about one that has blown us away: an AI feature that allows you to screenshot your favourite content creator’s photos, and the Samsung smartphone will tell you exactly what filters they’ve used! Perfect for your next Instagram-worthy snap.

Other AI features include Flexcam: share your camera with AI and enter a conversation with your smartphone to ask about things such as ‘is my outfit weather appropriate?’.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with a 50MP wide camera, 10MP main camera, and 12MP ultra wide camera. You can also make use of the auto zoom and zoom slider features, which ensure all of your photos and videos will be in focus.

The new smartphone has 31-hours of playback on a single charge, and the battery is made up of 100% recycled cobalt and 100% recycled lithium.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE are available to pre-order right now at the official Samsung store, having been released at 3pm this afternoon (Wednesday 9th July).

We’ve written out the full list of retailers and mobile networks which are stocking the brand-new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE:

The Technology team have always loved the innovative look of the Samsung flip phones, so much so, that we’re eagerly awaiting our mobile contract ending so that we can get our hands on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.

We all know that the noughties are having a resurgence, with baggy denim and cargos firmly overtaking skinny jeans, scrunchies accessorising the hair of every youngster in London, and Gen Z taking ownership of metal belts and Ugg boots. So the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is very on-trend.

But what is style without substance? Luckily, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has plenty of interesting AI features such as Circle to Search, Ask Gemini and Flexcam.

Plus, the thinnest-ever bezel makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 look extra sleek, and we like that the cover screen has gone up in size, which means that the Now Bar insights are even more accessible.

For the first time on a foldable smartphone, Samsung has introduced an FE device, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

Typically, FEs are more affordable alternatives to a flagship device, as we see on the Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24 FE. The same is true about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE boasts the same display, camera and AI features as the flagship smartphone, however, it comes in less colourways, in just Black and White.
