I broke mine two months in from a very gentle drop 2ft above ground rendering it unuseable. Had to send in for a replacement and ive been scared to use it since. [...] But i find myself missing my Spen as well as better camera quality. Probably selling my flip7 to go for the s26 ultra!
[...] Using Good Lock, I modified the cover screen to my liking, and the Exynos processor is not an issue. Battery life is good. [...] Only issues are the cameras, but I don't take many pictures. [...]
I got a flip and had it for a few weeks (bought unlocked through Amazon) and loved it at first. [...] I also realized that the cover screen isn't the most useful thing and I really didn't care for the typing experience on the cover screen or the selfie experience with the phone closed using the main cameras. For those two reasons it started to wear on me a little bit, I'm also going to Samsung after 15 years on iPhone so things like the camera quality were not the best for me either where I can take macros with my 17 pro easily but couldn't get decent shots with the flip, and the AI zoom stuff drove me nuts. [...] Having a normal size screen to do quick tasks is great, and I am only exposing and using the more delicate screen inside when I want to watch content or split view things so I'm not as worried about messing up the softer screen. [...]

I've had my flip 3 for years. Had some issues with it shutting off when I opened it and the screen protector coming off. But I got the insurance and it was fixed for free. [...]
I got mine when they first were available last year and I will not switch back to a slab.
I'm on the Flip 6 and I love it. I had the Flip 3 5G for almost four years before I got this one. I love the form factor so much
[...] Even with a case, it's not bulky. I wish I had waited 2 months so I could have gotten the Flip 7, but I'm still happy with the Flip 6. My only complaint is the main screen could be brighter, but that's really it.
I bought this phone 3 months ago and it's by far the best phone I've had since the s21+. With 2 apps my phone works much faster now. Gboard and Goodlock make the phone easier to navigate 😊
Switched to Samsung after 10 years of iPhone best choice ever I’ve had the flip 7 for 5 months it’s in great condition no marks don’t really feel the crease anymore. I get around a day and half battery yeah I made the right choice
I've been using my Galaxy Z Flip 7 for 15 months now no cracks, dents, or inconvenient lasting creases...Apple needs to get back in the lab :/
I went the other way this year, from an iPhone to a Z Flip 7. It's generally been a pretty good experience - the bloat on Samsung devices seems significantly less bad than it used to be 7 or 8 years ago. I've stuck with Samsung's keyboard and it has mostly been fine, though it's less aggressive about adding punctuation for contractions etc.
I've had the flip 3, 5 and 7. [...] One key thing you didn't cover and is a big + is contact less payment using the front cover screen. Supper comfortable and quick! [...]
I've had a flip and currently have a fold. To be honest I'm enjoying the fold more, it's like a tablet when open so great for reading e-books and watching videos when traveling. 😊
I bought a Flip 3 when they launched and loved it from the start, much better and safer to put it in your normal pocket than hanging a non folding out of your back pocket. I've just changed to a flip 7 and its great, more solid feeling and easy to set up from the 3. I'll never go back to a flat phone!
I have the fold 6 absolutely love it will be updating to 7 in the near future i live on a 5 acre property it's very convenient to fold and put in my pocket absolutely love this phone and will never go back to a one-piece phone
I have a Flip 3 after using Apple since forever and I really love the small format. Sits in my jacket, solid build. Works great but I will buy a 7 or 8 for the bigger screen when it's folded.
I just published "I have mixed emotions about my phone" over on @joe I wrote previously about how I have been flirting with the Samsung ecosystem after years of buying Pixel phones and Pixel Buds. My Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is really nice. I like it so much that I don’t see myself willingly […]
i got a z fold 5 recently for cheap and i absolutely adore it
Recently upgraded to the flip 7 from a flip 4 and I love it! With the Good Lock and Multistar apps from Samsung, I can open just about any app on the cover screen. It adds so much functionality to the cover screen, it's awesome!
Sometimes I just like the smaller form factor and when it’s opened it’s super slim . And the camera issue isn’t bad for me I’m not a photographer and rarely use my camera but when I do it’s good not great but good . Great update video .
[...] I have the Flip 7 and still like it. [...]
I had my Galaxy S10 since 2019, so it was time to upgrade. I was g9ing ro get the S25 but decided on something new and exciting so I got the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It's such a huge leap for me lol
I just did the same a few weeks ago! I got the galaxy Z-flip 7 and really like it.
I have a Z Flip 7. The Z Flip 8 is practically indistinguishable except for the SoC where they've gone from an Exynos to a Snapdragon.
