Galaxy Z Flip7 FE: The clamshell foldable goes (almost) affordable — same fold, Exynos heart.
SpecEagle Editorial·Jul 2025·$899·Score 80/100
Z Flip7 FE exists to drop the flip-foldable entry point under $900 while keeping Samsung's seven-year update promise. You trade the latest Snapdragon and the big cover screen for that saving. If the fold is the feature you actually want — and you keep phones a long time — it is the rational way in.
