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 .

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
