The best flip phones of 2025: Where does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 stand?

Flip phones have come a long way in the last decade. After their resurgence with the 2019 Motorola Razr refresh, they have only improved over the years. The best flip phones not only have a big cover display and a strong hinge but also an intuitive software to utilize their unique designs. The 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra, for instance, packs an AMOLED foldable display, a feature-rich user interface and a comfortable in-hand feel, alongside a bunch of AI features. However, the $1,300 might not suit many. Even the new $1,100 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be out of reach for many. Thankfully, there are plenty of clamshell foldable phones under $1,000 that marry form factor and reasonable pricing.

Samsung and Motorola are the top two brands making flip phones right now. Of all the flip phones we've tested and reviewed so far, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is our pick for the best flip phone of 2025. The South Korean tech giant brought its A-game at Unpacked in July 2025 and added much-awaited features to its foldables. The Motorola Razr Ultra is a worthy runner up as it houses the latest AI features alongside a powerful flagship chipset. The biggest update comes in the form of a new titanium-reinforced hinge plate. It is said to be four times stronger than surgical-grade stainless steel and can withstand up to 35% more folds than last year's models. It's a tight race between the two flip phones. While the Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a sturdier build and premium feel, the Razr Ultra edges out with a more usable outer display software -- which is one of the main appeals of a modern-day flip phone -- as well as faster charging.

I have been using the phone for the past two weeks, and I love the new design. It feels more premium than Motorola's offering and adds a similar all-screen outer display. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is very similar to the standard Samsung Galaxy S-series flagship with a large 6.9-inch AMOLED panel that's bright and lovely to look at, and up to 512GB of storage for those high-resolution pictures and videos. It's all powered by a healthy 4,300mAh battery -- an upgrade from last year's Z Flip 6. It also includes a thinner design with a lesser crease and a stronger hinge. We also like it for its smooth and snappy One UI. Review: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Who it's for: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 runs One UI 8 and is rated to be supported for at least seven years with software updates. That's more than Motorola's promise. It can deliver fine camera results thanks to an improved 50MP main sensor and 12MP ultra-wide. t's also geared towards content creators with features like AI-powered Auto Zoom feature. This automatically detects how many people are in a frame and potential background objects the user may want to keep in the shot and repositions the capture digitally. Plus, it offers the most complete suite of AI features thanks to Galaxy AI. Who should look elsewhere: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 isn't for those who use the cover screen a lot, unless they can install an app and force-run apps on the outer display.

I went hands-on with the latest Razr Ultra model, and was thoroughly impressed by the improved hinge system, which makes the phone feel sturdier to flip open and close. Moreover, it features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12GB of RAM for a slew of AI features and powerful performance. As for the outer display, it supports virtually any app you throw at it. You can browse the web, play games, scroll TikTok, and do other mobile tasks without ever needing to flip open the device. In comparison, Samsung's platform is more limited in this regard. The Motorola Razr Ultra also has a textured backing, including new Alcantara and Wood finishes, which I've found to be easier to hold and grip than competing flip phones. Review: Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) Who it's for: At $1,299, the Razr Ultra is not a cheap flip phone. It's more expensive than the Samsung counterpart. That said, it packs a bigger and faster charging battery, larger screens, two 50MP cameras, and AI features that are actually useful. If you want the most complete, durable, and visually-stimulating flip phone on the market right now, you'll have to pay to play with the Razr Ultra. It is for those who want a fashion-forward flip phone without any compromises. Who should look elsewhere: The Razr Ultra includes top-notch specs, but if you want a phone that'd last at least five years, Motorola might not be your favorite brand. It offers a relatively short software update cadence, which ranges from two to three years, versus Google and Samsung's seven years. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be better in this regard.

The Motorola Razr 2025 is eerily similar to its predecessor. The only difference being an updated operating system and added dust resistance with an IP48 rating. As a result, you can expect smooth performance, better software longevity, and a similar battery backup. The Motorola Razr Plus 2025 is a solid flip phone at a midrange price.

Performance: Several factors affect a phone's performance, including LTE/5G signal, battery life, and background tasks. Therefore, we typically begin our evaluations with a fully charged handset, with all background tasks closed, and with as stable of a mobile connection as possible.

FAQs on flip phones Will Apple make a flip phone? It's the question everyone's been asking since the very first foldable was launched back in 2019: whether or not Apple will put out a foldable iPhone of its own. While the company has yet to unveil any plans of making one, and the rumor mill has been rather slow in that regard, it would not be surprising if there's a team within Cupertino already building one out. Also: Why foldable phones are still so expensive, according to analysts And, as is often the case with consumer technology, once Apple does feel comfortable enough to release a mass-market foldable phone, we can expect there to be a drop in overall pricing in the market, as manufacturers scramble to compete in value. The latest rumors point to a release as soon as in 2026.
