Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 / Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

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.

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

Samsung says the vapour chamber is larger on every S23-series model.

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

Memory depends on the storage option; usable space is lower because of preloaded software. There is no memory card slot.

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.

45 W requires a separately sold 45 W adapter and a 5 A USB-C cable; wired charging is compatible with QC2.0 and AFC. Wireless PowerShare charges Qi-compatible devices from the back of the phone when the battery is above 30%.

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.

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

Adaptive refresh drops to as low as 1 Hz when content is static to save power and rises to 120 Hz when scrolling and gaming. Vision Booster adjusts colour and contrast in bright conditions across three lighting levels; the edge curve is reduced compared with the S22 Ultra.

According to Samsung, the S23 series was the first S series to use Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The 200 MP sensor outputs 200, 50 or 12 MP images through pixel binning. 100x Space Zoom combines 10x optical with 10x AI-assisted digital zoom; image quality may deteriorate beyond 10x. The optical stabilisation angle was doubled compared with the S22 Ultra.

The Expert RAW app (downloaded separately from the Galaxy Store) offers RAW capture at up to 50 MP.

On the S23 series the front camera gets fast autofocus and 60 fps Super HDR.

Update timing can vary by model and market.

Using Wi‑Fi 6E’s 6 GHz band needs a Wi‑Fi 6E router and market availability.

Knox Vault keeps critical data in separate hardware isolated from the operating system.

Samsung does not recommend beach or pool use.
