Sure, Samsung’s foldable phones are cool—but they’re certainly not cheap. The Fold7 now costs $2,000—$100 more than the starting price of last year’s Fold6. But Samsung is now offering a slightly more affordable option for the first time: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE—or “Fan Edition”—starts at $899, which is $200 cheaper than the Flip7.
The FE has the same compact clamshell design, camera system, and full suite of Galaxy AI features as the Flip7, but comes with the smaller displays of the Flip6, a less powerful processor, and fewer color options.
If the existing Samsung Galaxy S24 FE or 23 FE are any indicators, Samsung’s lower-priced FE models tend to perform well, but we’ll be back with full test results on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE soon. (If you’re looking to buy a foldable at a discount, you may also be able to snag a deal on the Galaxy Z Flip6 or Fold6 now that the newest models are out.)
