The Samsung Galaxy 7 Flip 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE were recently unveiled, giving you two new foldable phones to choose from – one of which is refreshingly affordable.

If you like the look of either of these phones then you could have one in your hands very soon, as the release date is fast approaching. So below, you’ll find details of the on-sale date for both phones, followed by information on when they were announced, and when pre-orders opened.

But if you’re not sure which handset – if either – to go for, then take a look at our hands-on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review and our hands-on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE review, along with our hands-on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will both be on-sale from July 25. So that’s when pre-orders end, when you’ll be able to take one home with you from a shop, and when these devices should start arriving on doorsteps.

That said, the actual date you get the phone could vary, with predicted delivery dates differing depending on the configuration and color you pick, along with what country you’re in – this is presumably because stock is running short for some models.

At the time of writing, we’re seeing that some combinations apparently won’t ship until August 1, while oddly the Jetblack model of the Z Flip 7 and all versions of the Z Flip 7 FE will supposedly arrive earlier than the official release date on July 22, when ordered direct from Samsung in the UK.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE were both announced on July 9, alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Samsung announced these devices at a major Unpacked event, where it also unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.

Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE opened on the day they were announced – so July 9. That means you can place an order now if you’ve decided which phone you want.

The sooner you place your order the sooner you’re likely to get your handset – and depending on which model you choose and which region you’re in, you might find there’s already a shipping delay on some.

That said, we don’t anticipate there will be major stock shortages, so if you don’t mind the risk of not quite getting the phone on release day, it could be worth waiting until we’ve had a chance to fully review both handsets, so you can see how good they really are.
