Overview

• Vodafone’s presale runs through July 23 with 36-month financing starting at €23 per month for the Z Flip7 FE, €26.50 for the Z Flip7 and €44.50 for the Z Fold7, plus double memory at no extra charge and up to €240 in trade-in credits
• Independent CHIP tests show the 8.9 mm-thin Z Fold7 delivers 12 h 42 m of continuous use versus 13 h 56 m on the Fold6, marking a modest battery runtime drop
• Price-tracking site Idealo forecasts the Z Flip7 could fall from its €1 199 launch price to around €849 after two months and €725 after three months, a potential 40 % markdown
• Since mid-2024 launches, the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 have already slid 36 %–38 % in price, trading near €760 and €1 236 respectively
• Analysts note that foldables account for just 1.5 % of European smartphone sales and that delaying purchase by weeks can yield significant savings as aggressive promotions drive rapid depreciation
