I’ve compared preorder offers for Samsung’s new Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE – these Aussie stores have the absolute best deals

As happens a few times a year now, we’ve once again entered a frenzied season of Samsung phone releases, with the Korean tech giant having just unveiled its latest slew of foldables – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and all-new budget-oriented Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, all of which are now up for preorder. There’s also some new watches in the Galaxy Watch 8 range, but here we’re talking exclusively about the foldables and the best bargains to be found Down Under.

All three phones are available for preorder now from Australian telcos and tech retailers, with the devices officially releasing on August 1. They’re available in a wide range of colours and with several storage options.

Considering the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is continuing the tradition of being the most expensive smartphone available in Australia, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is not a cheap handset either, if you’re thinking of upgrading to either, preordering can make it far more affordable – or at least ensure you get some worthwhile bonuses. Additionally, if you want a funky handset with a lower price, we’d recommend the Z Flip 7 FE, which packs a lot of the same tech as the Z Flip 6 (using an Exynos chip instead of a Snapdragon) but without the high cost of the 7.

We’ve highlighted all the best preorder deals below, but I’d recommend acting quick – as once the phones have released, it’s unlikely we’ll see better offers for at least a few months. We’d also recommend checking out the best phone plans to pair with your new foldable, or reading our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 review and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE review before making up your mind.

What’s new with Samsung’s latest foldables?

Samsung’s latest foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, mark substantial design and usability upgrades over their predecessors – pushing the boundaries of what a foldable phone can be.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter and more refined than ever, measuring just 8.9mm thick when closed and weighing only 215 grams. It unfolds into a stunning 8-inch AMOLED display that rivals the iPad Mini in size, making it perfect for multitasking, gaming and media. Complementing this is the larger 6.5-inch outer display with a more traditional 21:9 aspect ratio, bringing it closer to a ‘standard’ smartphone when folded.

One of the Fold 7’s headline features is its upgraded camera system, led by a 200MP wide sensor previously reserved for the S25 Ultra. This delivers incredible photo detail and improved image quality, especially when pixel-binned to 12MP. There’s also a sharper 10MP inner selfie camera and a sleeker, more durable hinge. However, concessions were made to achieve its thin design – namely, the loss of S Pen support and the lack of a 5x optical zoom. Still, with a powerful Gen 8 Elite chip, 12GB RAM (or 16GB with 1TB storage) and a 4,400mAh battery rated for 24 hours of video, the Fold 7 aims to deliver high-end performance.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 addresses long-standing critiques of its past iterations with its 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover screen that is now larger, smoother (with a 120Hz refresh rate) and more functional. Now, it wraps around the rear cameras and supports new features like Auto Framing and Real-Time Filters, making it far more practical for on-the-go use. Inside, a larger 6.9-inch display gives it the feel of a full-sized flagship device, while a thinner design (13.7mm folded) and a larger 4,300mAh battery make it a very, very usable daily driver.

Despite retaining the same camera array as the previous model (50MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP selfie) the Flip 7 feels like a true generational leap. It’s powered by a new, efficient Samsung Exynos 2500 chipset, and it offers tighter waterproofing and a stronger FlexHinge, while pricing remains unchanged from last year.

Additionally, Samsung has addressed complaints about the Galaxy Z range’s higher prices with the introduction of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. At AU$1,499, it still can’t be classified as cheap, but it’s much more affordable than its Flip 7 sibling. That being said, it’s closer technically to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, with many of the same specs, except for its Exynos 2400 chip instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
