The best Samsung flip phone yet, thanks to a much larger edge-to-edge cover screen, though running full apps on it remains cumbersome.

  • Finally offers a large edge-to-edge cover screen
  • Battery life better than the Flip 6
  • Reliable main camera with flex mode
  • Seven years of OS and security updates
  • Inner screen is large and crease is subtle
  • Running full apps on cover screen is too hard
  • Exynos chip is less powerful than Snapdragon
  • IP48 rating and dust susceptibility
  • Battery life a bit worse than typical slab phones

  • Superb, much larger cover screen
  • Great internal display
  • Excellent main rear camera
  • Top-tier software experience
  • Seven years of OS and security updates
  • Battery life could be better
  • Slow 25W charging
  • No telephoto camera

4.5/5Jul 23, 2025

An excellent flip phone with a great cover display and unique features like DeX, held back by slower chip, software clutter, and battery life.

  • Cover display with very thin bezels, usable for many apps
  • Samsung DeX support unavailable on rivals
  • Strong AI photo editing tools
  • Seven years of Android updates promised
  • Launches with Android 16 out of the box
  • Exynos 2500 chip slower than Motorola Razr Ultra
  • Battery life falls short
  • Samsung software feels cluttered and bloated
  • IP48 rating, no true dust protection
  • Cameras are a downgrade; no telephoto zoom

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
