There's a lot of hype around the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, and for good reason — both the Flip 7 and Fold 7 received huge makeovers this year. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 in particular gained two bigger displays, a larger battery, and a slimmer form factor. Understandably, that got fans of clamshell foldables excited.
After a week of using the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I'm here to temper your expectations somewhat. While the expanded cover screen is a visual masterpiece, its software experience actually takes a step backward. In my testing, the extra battery capacity doesn't translate to longer runtimes, perhaps due to the switch to an Exynos processor.
