Samsung’s New Budget Foldable Is Already $200 Off on Amazon
The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is now a much more compelling deal after a major price cut.
Samsung aimed to create a more affordable foldable phone this year with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Fan Edition. Unfortunately, the initial execution missed the mark. Critics and consumers alike were disappointed to find that, while the phone reused much of the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s design, it came with noticeable compromises in performance.
It’s powered by an Exynos 2400 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and offers only 8GB of RAM—less than the 12GB found in premium foldables. What made things worse was the price. At $899 at launch, it was only $100 cheaper than the full-featured Z Flip 7, making its “budget” tag feel inaccurate.
Why choose the FE when the better-equipped Flip 6 or even the standard Flip 7 could be found on sale for around the same price? It simply didn’t make sense—until now.
A Timely Price Correction
It appears Samsung has quickly recognized its pricing misstep. Mere weeks after its release, the Z Flip7 FE has received a significant $200 discount on Amazon, bringing its price down to $699. This new price point reflects what many believe the phone should have cost from the beginning.This limited-time deal applies to both Black and White color options. If you’re interested, you may want to act fast—it’s unclear how long this offer will last.
At $699, the Z Flip7 FE becomes a much more appealing option for those wanting to try out foldable technology without spending four figures. It may not win over everyone who was skeptical at launch, but it’s now a solid choice for the price-conscious early adopter.
What You’re Getting
The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE features a 6.7-inch 120Hz LTPO AMOLED inner display and a handy 3.4-inch outer screen, with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. The dual rear camera system includes a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, both capable of recording 4K60 HDR10+ video. A 10MP front camera handles selfies, and FlexMode allows for hands-free shooting.It’s powered by a 4,000mAh battery supporting 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. Most users can expect a full day of moderate use. The phone is built with Gorilla Glass Victus 2, Armor Aluminum, and an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance—not as robust as the IP68 on Samsung’s flagship tablets, but enough to survive everyday splashes.
Storage options include 128GB or 256GB (with no microSD expansion), and connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and USB-C 3.2. Samsung also promises seven years of software support, including Android version updates and security patches until 2032.
