Samsung/CNET

Late last month, Samsung teased us with the Galaxy Z Flip 8, and today is the official date for this new phone to hit the shelves. The Flip 8 carries over many of its predecessor’s best features, which earned the Flip 7 a place on our list of the top phones of 2026. The Flip 8 also comes with a $100 price increase, making it even more enticing to find a deal on a Flip 7 right now.

The trick is finding one. With the Flip 8 in the spotlight, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has become increasingly hard to find at most retailers. Stock is thin right now, and direct discounts are even thinner. Trade-in offers are often the best option. While only a couple of carriers still have the Z Flip 7 lineup in stock at all, we’re keeping a close eye on restocks. If you’re leaning toward something bigger, you can also check out the best Galaxy Z Fold 7 deals currently available.

CNET’s mobile expert Patrick Holland gave this phone rave reviews for its gorgeous display and top-notch features. However, the $1,100 starting price can be intimidating for some. Holland was impressed by the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 in almost every way, specifically citing its thinner design, smaller crease and stunning AMOLED display. The phone has a 4.1-inch cover screen and a 6.9-inch interior display, and it is just 4.2mm thick when open (or 8.9mm when closed). It has an Exynos 2500 processor, 12GB of RAM, a 4,300-mAh battery and a high-resolution 50-megapixel rear camera. The device also includes 12-megapixel front cameras on the cover and the interior screen, making it easy to take selfies from a distance.

And then there’s the more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which starts at $900 rather than $1,100. It has a slightly smaller display, a thicker design, an Exynos 2400 processor and 8GB of RAM. But it’s still equipped with the same 50-megapixel camera and has many of the same features, including IP48 water resistance, 25-watt fast charging and onboard AI.
