Looking for a flip phone in India during 2025? Right now, Samsung stands alone. No other major brand officially sells a flip-style smartphone there. That instantly makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 the top choice – and likely the only new flip phone you’ll find on Indian shelves this year!
What Makes the Flip7 Special? Let’s Break It Down:
- A Sharper, Bigger Look & Feel:
- The Flip7 feels less narrow than last year’s Flip6. It’s slightly wider (75.2mm vs 71.9mm) and a tad taller when open (166.7mm vs 165.1mm).
- Great news: It’s also thinner! Open: 6.5mm (vs 6.9mm). Folded: 13.7mm (vs 14.9mm).
- Weight stays pleasingly light at around 188 grams.
- Pick your style: Blue Shadow, Jet-Black, Coral Red, plus an online-exclusive Mint.
- The HUGE Cover Screen Upgrade (“Flex Window”):
- Game Changer: The outer screen now goes edge-to-edge, covering the space around the cameras completely. No more wasted black bars!
- Size: A much more usable 4.1 inches.
- Tech: Vibrant Super AMOLED, tough Gorilla Glass Victus 2, sharp resolution (1048 x 948 pixels).
- Major Smoothness Boost: 120Hz refresh rate – way smoother than the Flip6’s 60Hz. Gets incredibly bright, up to 2600 nits.
- Cool New Cover Tricks:
- Apply photo filters & use the zoom slider right on the cover screen.
- Access Google Gemini AI assistant.
- Enjoy more detailed camera controls.
- Use the area near the cameras as a notification light.
- Bigger Main Screen Too:
- Expands from 6.7 inches to a more spacious 6.9 inches.
- Keeps the excellent Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X quality.
- Adaptive refresh rate (1-120Hz for smoothness or battery saving).
- Also super bright at up to 2600 nits.
- The screen crease should be less obvious thanks to a new hinge, but you’ll still see it slightly when the light hits.
- Camera Improvements:
- Outer Cameras: Same combo as Flip6 – 50MP main (shoots 4K/60fps video) + 12MP ultrawide (Fixed Focus).
- Inner Selfie Camera: 10MP punch-hole on the main screen (also shoots 4K/60fps).
- Key Video Upgrade: All cameras now support LOG & 10-bit HDR recording. This gives videographers much more flexibility for editing later.
- Power & Battery Boost:
- Processor: Runs on Samsung’s newest Exynos 2500 chip. Early tests (based on the Exynos 2400 in the S24+) suggest it should handle power and heat well.
- Memory: 12GB RAM with choice of 256GB or 512GB storage.
- Battery: Gets a welcome increase to 4300mAh (up from 4000mAh). Still charges at up to 25W speeds (remember, charger sold separately).
- Tougher Build:
- New Hinge: Feels more solid opening and closing. Folds shut very tightly, leaving almost no gap. Helps minimize the screen crease.
- Durability: Keeps the IP48 rating – meaning it’s protected against splashes of water (like rain or spills).
- Software & Features for the Long Haul:
- Operating System: Ships with One UI 8 based on Android 16, designed specifically for foldable phones with a cleaner look.
- Unbeatable Updates: 7 years of Android upgrades AND security patches. Your phone stays fresh and secure for years!
- Big Feature Win: Samsung Dex support arrives! Finally connect your Flip7 to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard via USB-C or wirelessly for a desktop-like experience.
- Security: Includes Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) and Secure WiFi.
- AI: Smarter versions of Now Brief, Now Bar, and Gemini Live, now fine-tuned for the flip phone experience.
The Bottom Line:
With its revolutionary full-cover screen, sleeker shape, bigger battery, new processor, unmatched 7-year support, and the long-awaited Dex feature, the Galaxy Z Flip7 isn’t just the top flip phone in India for 2025 – it’s currently the only official option, and it looks like a truly impressive one.
