Samsung Galaxy S24+ vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7
Our Verdict: The Galaxy Z Flip7 and the Galaxy S24+ are 17 years apart, which is enough for a real difference. There's more battery in the S24+, 4900mAh to 4300mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the Z Flip7 has the bigger screen at 6.9" against 6.7", while the S24+ has the sharper one at 509 PPI. The Z Flip7 is the lighter phone at 187g against 196g, and only the Z Flip7 has a water-resistance rating (IP48); the S24+ has none. Coming from the Z Flip7, the S24+ is a genuine upgrade rather than a token one.
On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £886 over a full contract.
