I have been using the Galaxy Z Flip 7 for nearly a month now, and I must admit that the foldable far exceeds my expectations. The larger cover screen significantly enhances its usability, and although Samsung still restricts app usage, it’s quite simple to circumvent that hurdle.
Interestingly, Samsung opted for its proprietary Exynos 2500 chipset across all global versions of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, moving away from Qualcomm’s components. Although recent Exynos models have faced criticism (with good reason), Samsung LSI appears to have taken lessons from its past errors.
Vivo X200 Pro, Galaxy S25, and various other standard smartphones, but it is reasonably respectable within the realm of foldables. The inherent design of the Flip 7 limits the possibility of incorporating a substantial thermal management system, resulting in its relatively poor performance under intense usage.
