After two days with the new Galaxy Z Flip 7, I’m no longer a Samsung flip phone naysayer. I’ve tested every Galaxy Flip to date, and by the Z Flip 6, the series, which was supposed to be all about newness and style, started to feel stale. This had less to do with Samsung and more to do with Motorola. After all, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 was facing off against the impressive RAZR 40 Ultra, and the Z Flip 6 against Motorola’s RAZR 50 Ultra. While Moto was lavishing huge cover screens with no notches and tiny bezels on their RAZRs, Samsung was sticking with its clunky-looking six-sided cover display. But no more.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip seems to masterfully evolve the design. When closed, the entire front of the phone has become a display, save for an ultra-slim bezel and dual punch-hole camera, and when open, Samsung has upped the size of the inner screen to a massive 6.9 inches, creating two very usable ways to use its new flip phone.
