When the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE made its debut last week alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, it's safe to say my initial impression of Samsung's attempt at offering a lower-cost foldable phone was less than enthusiastic. And that's coming from someone who celebrates the arrival of every cheap handset like it's Christmas for cheapskates.
So why did my initial Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE reaction put the "hmmmmmm" in "ho-hum?" Because to me, this new phone felt like a Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a new name slapped on it. If you're going to do that, just keep the old model around and slash the price.
