How many software updates is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 eligible for?

Expect a long road of OS and security updates for the Galaxy Z Flip 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 launched this month with meaningful upgrades that push it further than any Flip before. Between the larger cover display, better performance, and more capable software, it finally goes head-to-head with Motorola's Raz Ultra 2025.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 4.1-inch edge-to-edge Super AMOLED cover display that wraps around the outer cameras, providing a modern look that Samsung's clamshell lineup has lacked for years. While this design isn't new to the foldable market, it's a welcome upgrade. The main 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display has slimmer bezels. All these changes could truly make it earn the best foldable title, if Samsung follows through.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 runs One UI 8 on Android 16 and unlocks smarter ways to navigate both the main and cover screens. On the cover display, Now Brief provides a quick daily summary with details such as the weather and your Energy Score. At the same time, Now Bar offers direct access to music, notifications, and other active apps. Samsung has also integrated Google's Gemini Live, allowing you to use the camera to ask questions about what you see, such as getting laundry instructions from a clothing tag or learning how to eat a particular food.

Despite early rumors hinting at a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the flip phone, the Galaxy Flip 7 ships with Samsung's Exynos 2500 instead. Samsung also added 12GB of RAM, 256GB of base storage, a familiar dual-camera setup, and a slightly larger 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging. We hope to see the charging speed being bumped up to 45W as well.
