Samsung has just shaken up the foldable phone market with the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, its first-ever budget-friendly foldable in the popular “Fan Edition” (FE) line. Announced at the 2025 Samsung Unpacked event, the Z Flip 7 FE brings the excitement of foldable tech to a wider audience with a starting price of $899—significantly less than the flagship Z Flip 7’s $1,099.

The Z Flip 7 FE features a familiar clamshell design, a 3.4-inch cover screen, and a 6.7-inch internal display. It packs a 10MP front camera, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 50MP wide-angle camera, plus a robust 4,000mAh battery. Storage options include 256GB or 512GB, though it comes with 8GB of RAM and a slightly slower Exynos 2400 chipset compared to the flagship’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

While the FE model is a bit more modest in specs, it’s a game-changer for anyone eager to try foldable tech without breaking the bank. The Z Flip 7 FE is available for preorder now in black or white, with general availability starting July 25th.

Samsung’s move signals a new era where innovative form factors are no longer reserved for premium buyers. With the Z Flip 7 FE, the future of mobile tech is more accessible than ever.
