Pre-release leaks may have spoiled most of the surprises Samsung had up its sleeve for Wednesday's Unpacked event, but there were still some interesting details to gleam from the presentation.

The Flip 7 FE is the first foldable that Samsung has introduced in its “Fan Edition” line, which provides budget-friendly alternatives to the company’s flagship Galaxy phones. At $899, it’s not quite affordable enough to compete with Motorola’s Razr, which starts at $699, but it’s a lot cheaper than the Flip 7 model, which costs $1,099.

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

Commentary: Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with a welcome overhaul to its design. And I can definitely vouch for the new phone's sturdiness.

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.
