Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE
Our Verdict: If you've got the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is four years of updates on from it. The Z Flip7 FE has a dramatically higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Z Flip3 5G's 12MP, and the Z Flip7 FE packs the bigger battery, 4000mAh against 3300mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use. The Z Flip3 5G has the sharper display at 426 PPI to 401, and only the Z Flip7 FE has a water-resistance rating (IP48); the Z Flip3 5G has none. If you're on the Z Flip3 5G, the Z Flip7 FE is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
If you'd rather pay up front, the Z Flip7 FE is the cheaper buy at £395 SIM-free.
