I Accidentally Learned Just How Durable the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Is

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-09 05:00:06

If you're concerned about how durable Samsung's foldable phones can be, I'm here to tell you not to worry. And that's especially true when it comes to the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. After less than six hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test. At a catered affair in Brooklyn, I walked outside to get a view of the waterfront, and when I pulled the Z Flip 7 out of my pocket, I fumbled it.

As detailed in a new study presented at the Goldschmidt international geochemistry conference this week and due to be peer-reviewed later this year, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison analyzed six volcanoes in southern Chile to study how retreating ice sheets may have influenced past volcanic behavior.

Galaxy Z Flip 7’s Exynos 2500 benchmarked: Flagship power or foldable flop?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-09 06:30:11

In a first for Samsung’s foldables, the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 sports a Samsung Exynos processor instead of its usual Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. I’m reasonably convinced the Exynos 2500 looks more than good enough on paper, even if it won’t quite match the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the Galaxy S25 series and Z Fold 7. But the real proof is in the testing, so I’ve run the Galaxy Z Flip 7 through our usual suite of benchmarks to see just how far off the top spot it really is. For comparison, we’ve gra
