According to experts, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 can hardly compete with Huawei's products.
What is Samsung doing with its foldable smartphone business ? In a few months, the Korean tech giant will release a foldable phone:
- Galaxy Z Fold 7
- Galaxy Z Flip 7
With the current developments, they will not be too prominent. In fact, according to experts, Samsung is causing a foldable smartphone disaster and this duo, especially the Galaxy Z Flip 7, is easily "defeated" by the Huawei phone line.

Meanwhile, Apple still doesn't have a foldable iPhone to compete with.
The numbers speak
According to sales figures, although the Galaxy S24 series has become a surprise hit, the 2024 Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip have not received much attention in the market. This is considered a failure for a company of Samsung's size.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have had disappointing sales, even worse than their predecessors - the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
As of December 2024, total sales of both devices reached only 5.21 million units, barely improving from 4.9 million units in November.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 struggled the most, selling only around 80,000 units in December while the more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 6 fared slightly better, rising from 2.09 million to 2.32 million units.
In contrast, the Galaxy S24 series saw strong demand, surpassing 37 million units sold.
What if the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 revive Samsung's foldable lineup? According to rumors, however, they will have little innovation.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be nothing interesting?
According to source Septa Unella, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have quite a few theories:
- Samsung will use Exynos 2500 chip for Galaxy Z Flip 7
- They won't have many camera upgrades
- The price of Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will not change much compared to the previous version!
In short, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are shaping up to be underwhelming upgrades that recycle many elements from their predecessors.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is essentially the international version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition, with a larger screen but no S Pen support due to the lack of a digitizer. Although it may have a 200MP camera and improved speakers, its design will not be much new.
