EDITORIAL: With several downgrades from Razr 60 Ultra, this phone feels like a downgrade but still holds the "TOP Foldable" position. Great performance, long battery life, great screens and excellent imaging make this a flip phone to beat. Consider the last year's version for the same processor, brighter screens (and shorter battery life), better sound, same cameras and lower price.
PROs
upgraded hinge is now titanium, fast SD 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, >30hr endurance from a 5000mAh battery with sub-50min 68W (30W wireless) charging, >1400nits (outer screen >1000nits) >410ppi 165Hz LTPO AMOLED screens with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, IP48 protection, excellent photos and selfies from a 50MP 22mm OIS main + 50MP 12mm ultrawide setup, good video recording, tons of software and AI features, desktop replacement functionality
CONs
throttling under heavy load, outer screen brightness is below 1100nits, no telephoto lens, no expandable storage, only 3 years of OS updates, slow USB-C 2.0 port, hard to find and pricey at lounch

EDITORIAL: An incremental upgrade of Z Flip 7 comes with newest processors, a much better battery life (at least the Exynos version), same imaging hardware and screens that are very similar to the predecessor. Oh, and an extra $100 at lounch, following chip scarcity issues the global market is going through .
PROs
fast SD 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Exynos 2600) with UFS 4.0 performance, >30hr endurance from a 4300mAh lithium battery with 80min 25W (15W wireless) charging, >1400 bright 400ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED HDR10+ screen (the outer one is >1400nits sub-400ppi 120Hz AMOLED), immersible IP48 protection, reliable 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, good video recording, rich and stabile OS with a 7 year update promise, DeX included, fast USB-C 3.2 port
CONs
same design, wider then last year, same 10MP 23mm non-AF selfie (but you'll use the main camera), no expandable memory, AI and other features can get overwhelming, Samsung's persistent effort to lock customers into its ecosystem
