The newest addition to Samsung’s foldable family, the Galaxy Z Flip7, brings with it a wave of refinements and shiny new features. This starts with Samsung DeX, a bigger 6.9-inch display and a way more responsive cover screen driven by Google Gemini. The Z Flip7 comes with a more advanced hinge design, better durability, and longer-lasting battery life. These upgrades combined promise to deliver a much more seamless and compelling user experience.

Enhanced Display and Design

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has a substantially improved, larger unpacked display. It’s increased to 6.9 inches while sporting a crisp 2520 x 1080 pixel resolution. The bigger screen gives more users a cinematic experience. Whether you’re surfing the net, streaming videos, or juggling multiple apps at once, every experience will be exhilarating. And with an increased brightness of up to 1378 nits, the display offers incredible visibility even in bright outdoor environments.

The main display experience is complimented by a 4.1-inch external cover screen. The biggest highlight is the rich Super AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution of 948x1048 pixels and a smooth, 120Hz refresh rate. This cover display offers vibrant colors, smooth animations, and enhanced responsiveness, allowing users to interact with notifications, control music playback, and even access certain apps without fully opening the phone. The addition of Google Gemini on the cover display makes it feel even smarter. Today, transacting with government, finding information, and receiving customer service is all at users’ fingertips.

The Galaxy Z Flip7 addresses a major fear associated with foldable devices. It has a completely redesigned crease that is much less pronounced than prior generations of the fold.

"It's very shallow and I can’t feel any weird humps when I brush my finger across it – which is something that will happen constantly when I’m doom scrolling social media for example." - [NasiLemakTech.com]This improvement enhances the overall viewing experience and makes the device feel more premium.

Samsung has increased durability with a new grade 4 titanium lattice under the display for added support. They added another extra-thick ultra-thin glass layer on the top for slight added protection. These materials provide greater scratch and impact resistance, too. Thanks to that, the screen can assuredly withstand the rigors of day-to-day life. The device relies on the new Armor Flex Hinge to fold the phone in half. To protect it even more, the new display now folds completely into a water drop shape when closed, further reducing stress on the folding device.

Performance and Functionality

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is loaded with cutting-edge extras built to boost productivity and streamline daily life. One of the more interesting additions is support for Samsung DeX. This is a brilliant feature that lets users plug their phones into an external screen and use them as actual desktop computers. At the bottom, the device has a USB 3.0 port, which supports display output and Samsung DeX connectivity.

One UI introduces a host of smart features, making the device easier to use and more customizable.

"I think it's also time to talk about the software and features. The new cover display on the Galaxy Flip7 makes the entire display look amazing. There are a few more interactive wallpapers that we can put on the cover display, and we even have the new adaptive clock that adapts around the subjects in the image too – if we can fit everything on the cover display, that is." - [NasiLemakTech.com]Users can tailor the phone's interface, customize the cover display, and take advantage of various productivity tools to optimize their workflow.

Like the Galaxy Z Flip7, the Alcatel 8’s fingerprint scanner doubles as a power button. This new design provides you an easy, fast, and secure way to unlock your device. Although the scanner is physically thin with small active surface area, it is still stable for picking biometrics for biometric authentication. The device’s speakers reproduce sound with impressive clarity and quality, making multimedia consumption an even more enjoyable experience.

"I mean, the phone isn’t as thin as the Z Fold7, so I would expect the speakers to sound at least on par or better than the Z Fold7." - [NasiLemakTech.com]

Battery and Charging

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers improvement in battery life over the Z Flip 6. This added feature enables users to experience all-day use, without having to recharge the device every few hours. Even with Battery Protection turned off, the phone charges only about 5 minutes faster from 15% to full. This increases up-time and means your phone is available and ready for business faster.

Where Samsung really shines is color accuracy. The Galaxy Z Flip7’s display really blows you away by covering 100% of the sRGB color gamut and 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. This ensures that colors ignite with precision and intensity. Consequently, the LCD is excellent for note-taking, video watching, and gaming on the go.

"Personally, I’m using it on vividness level 1 as anything higher kinda strains my eyes." - [NasiLemakTech.com]Users can fine-tune the display settings to suit their preferences, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable viewing experience.
