Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on: all about that cover screen


A bigger cover screen and battery are at the core of the experience for Samsung's newest flip phone

In my Motorola Razr Ultra review, I noted how useful it is to have such a large screen up front, and I’m glad that Samsung has finally brought it to the Flip series. It comes with a thinner Armor FlexHinge that has a restructured design for better durability over time, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 sits on the front and back of the phone, and the IP48 rating helps to protect even more of the internals from water and dust. Being able to speak to Gemini Live on the cover screen, using it in conjunction with the cameras to ask about the things around you, and rely on it for everyday queries could make the Z Flip 7’s form factor the perfect solution for those who want an AI device that feels closer to a dedicated chatbot than a traditional smartphone does.
