Samsung's more affordable Z Flip 7 variant is a decent deal when compared to its siblings. But the story changes when stacked against its closest competitors.

We benchmarked the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and its Exynos 2500 processor to see if it can beat Apple, Google, and Qualcomm.

The Flip 7 is thinner, coming in at 13.7mm thick, compared to last year's 14.9 mm. This makes it more comfortable to slip into your pocket, minimizing the uncomfortable feeling of having two tiny phones stacked on top of each other.
