Samsung’s current clamshell, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, is currently down from £1049 to £699, a saving of £350, or 33%.

The Exynos 2500 processor sitting at its core is built for genuine flagship demands, handling gaming and streaming with the kind of smoothness that budget folding phones have historically struggled to match.

That same commitment to spec rather than compromise shows up in the 4300mAh battery, which is the largest ever fitted to a Galaxy Z Flip and comfortably covers a full day without a midday top-up.

Storage follows the same logic, with 256GB and 12GB of RAM giving the Flip 7 the kind of headroom usually reserved for phones that never fold in half at all.

The cameras carry that same weight, with a 50MP dual-lens sensor and Flex Mode letting you shoot creative angles without a tripod, while AutoZoom reframes shots automatically to keep you centred.

None of that would count for much on a phone that felt fragile, so it matters that the Flip7 uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ and an Armor Aluminium hinge cover built to survive daily wear.

Even the software leans flagship, with Galaxy AI and Google Gemini fully optimised for the edge-to-edge FlexWindow, meaning last-minute dinner bookings or quick questions no longer need the phone to be opened.

The one thing worth being upfront about is that the Flip7 carries an IPX8 rating rather than a full dust-and-water IP68 seal, so it isn’t quite as rugged as Samsung’s non-folding flagships.

If you’ve been eyeing the Z Flip7 since launch, waiting for a genuine reason to commit, £699 down from £1049 is that reason, and possibly the best chance you’ll get to buy in at this price.

The Flip 7 is undoubtedly the best Flip to date, and one that can finally take the fight to the clamshell competition. It’s not perfect, but for most people, it’s all the foldable they need.

Pros

• More convenient 21:9 ratio screen is much easier to use
• Improved camera performance
• Fast, flagship performance with strong battery life

Cons

• Cover screen software could be better
