GoKawiilWhile foldable phones have been around for years now, relatively high prices compared to their stiff-screened brethren have meant that they’ve been an unapproachable option for many smartphone shoppers. And for the longest time, we’ve been wondering when a major player in the foldable space might finally tackle the challenge of creating a foldable phone with not just mass-market appeal, but a price tag to match.
For this year’s refresh to its folding lineup, Samsung is bringing us not just its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, but its first attempt at cracking that “budget” foldable nut: the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. How does this hardware stack up against the full-blown Z Flip 7, and is it work your consideration? let’s take a look!
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Cheapest Galaxy foldable to date • 50MP primary camera MSRP: $899.00 Budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip With as few compromises as possible to bring the price down, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE rocks a 6.7-inch main display, a 3.4-inch front display, and an Exynos chipset.

Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE at its Unpacked event today, premiering alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Watch 8 series.
Price Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (8GB/128GB): $899.99
$899.99 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (8GB/256GB): $959.99 While the idea behind the Flip 7 FE has been to create a more budget-friendly alternative to Samsung’s flagship Flip and Fold phones, this $900 starting price makes perfectly clear that Samsung is keeping all of its foldables in premium-pricing territory. The full-blown Flip 7 starts at just $1,100, and while $200 is a decent discount on its own, the more appropriate comparison to make here is almost certainly with last year’s Flip 6 — and we’ll get into why in just a moment.
Availability and pre-orders Just like Samsung’s other new foldables, pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE open today, ahead of retail availability commencing July 25.
Colors Unlike the rainbow assortment of option you’ll find on some of Samsung’s other handsets, for the Flip 7 FE the company is keeping things basic: You’ve got your choice of Black or White.
