Back when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 were announced this summer, Samsung fans knew an FE (Fan Edition) version was around the corner. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE came out later in July, and true to its FE name, the phone was much cheaper than the Flip 7 without sacrificing too much. Fast forward some months, and now the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is even cheaper, currently sitting at $699 (originally $959.99) on Woot for the upgraded 256GB version.
The Z Flip 7 FE is very similar to the flagship Z Flip 7 for a much cheaper price, and that's its main pull—the same can be said for just about any FE version Samsung has made. The Z Flip 7 FE has the same cameras as the Z Flip 7 and the same display, but it's just a bit smaller and the screen is 60 Hz. It's a little narrower too, which can be a pro or a con depending on your preferences. The processor is the Exynos 2400 instead of the 2500, but most people will not notice the difference. Considering you're saving between $200 to $300 compared to the Z Flip 7 for a very similar phone (and one of the best flip phones in the market), this makes the FE version a great option.
