All Samsung Galaxy Z foldables
When you choose a Samsung foldable phone, you’re faced with a fundamental decision that centres on how you want to use your phone. The range is split into two main types: the Galaxy Z Fold and the Galaxy Z Flip. The Galaxy Z Flip FE (Fan Edition) has recently been added to the range as a more affordable entry-level model.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold: The Productive Powerhouse
The Galaxy Z Fold unfolds like a book to reveal a large screen comparable to a small tablet. It is the most feature-packed foldable in Samsung’s line-up, with a correspondingly high price tag.
Who is the Fold for? For the multitasker, the professional and the media consumer. If you frequently edit documents, use multiple apps at once or enjoy films and series on a large screen, the Fold is ideal. Incidentally, from the Fold 7 onwards, it is unfortunately no longer possible to use an S Pen stylus.
- Pros: productivity on a large screen
- Disadvantages: larger, heavier and the most expensive model in the Z series
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip: Compact, Stylish and Iconic
The Galaxy Z Flip is a ‘clamshell’ model that folds vertically into a small, compact square. This means it fits easily into your trouser pocket or a small bag.
Who is the Flip for? For those who value style and portability. It’s a modern fashion statement that’s handy for quick notifications on the cover screen and taking hands-free selfies.
- Pros: compactness and design
- Disadvantages: smaller screen and less comprehensive camera system than the Fold
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE: The Affordable Foldable
The Fan Edition (FE) is the latest addition and positions itself as the most affordable option within the Z series. The Flip FE offers the full foldable experience of the standard Flip, but makes a few clever compromises in certain areas to keep the price down.
Who is the Flip FE for? For anyone curious about a foldable phone but put off by the high price of the premium models. You get the Flip’s cool form factor at a more affordable price.
- Pros: the foldable phone experience at a lower price
- Disadvantages: lower performance and a simpler camera, but still true to a foldable
