Samsung's Galaxy Flip 7 was unveiled at the company's July Galaxy Unpacked event, debuting a redesigned cover screen, a slightly thinner body and -- unlike the now-$2,000 Galaxy Z Fold 7 -- the same $1,100 price of Samsung's prior Flip phones.
This Z Flip 7 will face Motorola's $1,300 Razr Ultra, which has a similar flip design but takes a different approach. Even though Motorola's phone costs $200 more, the company touts several specs and design enhancements meant to justify the higher price. This includes support for a 165Hz refresh rate on both the cover display and the internal display, whereas the Flip 7 runs at a still very smooth 120Hz.
The Razr Ultra includes three 50-megapixel cameras for its wide, ultrawide and selfie cameras, while the Flip 7 comes with a 50-megapixel wide, 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 10-megapixel selfie camera. The Razr Ultra can also be purchased with unique design materials such as wood or Alcantara fabric. The Ultra starts with 512GB of storage, whereas the Flip starts at 256GB. The Flip 7's 512GB model does still undercut the Ultra on price, though, at $1,220.

The Z Flip 7 does have a few other pluses to keep in mind over the Razr Ultra, in addition to the lower price. The Flip 7 has a slightly larger 4.1-inch cover screen than the Razr's 4-inch, although in exchange, the internal display is a touch smaller at 6.9 inches versus 7 inches on the Razr. The Z Flip 7 is a hair lighter than the Razr, but we wouldn't call this a "light" phone like the S25 Edge. Looking at longevity, the Flip 7 has Samsung's seven-year commitment for software updates and security updates, meaning you should be able to use this phone safely all the way through 2032, whereas the Razr Ultra is getting only three years of major software updates and four years of security updates.
