Overview

  • Samsung’s Flip7 FE is its first Fan Edition foldable priced under €1,000, but lower-end specs and a discount on the superior Flip6 undercut its appeal.
  • The Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 incorporate revised internal structures to comply with new EU repairability and energy-label regulations.
  • The Z Fold7 introduces a true flagship camera to Samsung’s foldable range with a 200-megapixel wide-angle sensor borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
  • Samsung Display has started producing OLED panels at its Asan plant for Apple’s planned foldable iPhone, marking its first panel output for a rival.
  • Samsung confirms active development of a tri-fold smartphone targeting a late-2025 release despite questions over consumer demand.
