Apple iPhone 17e / Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7

The model number can differ by sales region.

Measured as a rectangle the screen is 6.06 inches; the rounded corners make the viewable area smaller.

The 1,200-nit figure applies only to HDR content as a short peak.

Apple claims 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and improved anti-reflection.

The Flip7 uses Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 rather than the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy found in the Fold7.

The A19 in the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU; the 17e version has 4 GPU cores.

There is a single rear camera. The 2x option uses the centre of the 48 MP sensor rather than a separate telephoto lens; there is no ultrawide camera.

Apple does not list the battery capacity in mAh; the times are from Apple's tests and vary with use.

No adapter is included; the box contains a 1 m USB-C cable.

15 W MagSafe needs a 20 W or higher adapter. The iPhone 16e supported only 7.5 W Qi.

USB 2 speed makes wired transfers of large 4K videos to a computer slow.

Apple says the C1X is up to 2x faster than the C1 in the iPhone 16e.

The SIM layout can vary by country.

The resistance is not permanent and can decrease with normal wear; liquid damage is not covered by the warranty.

Requires mobile data or Wi-Fi calling.

Notebookcheck notes that Samsung offers seven years of updates for this model.

The foldable inner screen; the 1–120 Hz range lowers the refresh rate on static content to save power and raises it for smooth scrolling. 2600 nits is a peak value, not sustained full-screen brightness.

In this generation Samsung extended the outer screen edge to edge, widening what you can do without opening the phone: notifications, camera preview and apps.

Samsung notes memory options may vary by market; available space is lower because of preloaded software.

There is no telephoto camera; zoom crops from the main sensor.

Wireless PowerShare lets the back of the phone charge accessories such as earbuds or a watch. Samsung notes charging speed depends on battery level and the adapter used.

The 4 in IP48 means protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, not dust-tightness; the 8 means resistance to immersion in fresh water. Samsung describes the new hinge as thinner and restructured compared with the previous generation.
