Galaxy S23 users: Here's why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be your perfect upgrade

Are you a Galaxy S23 user who values performance in a compact package? Are you looking for the next evolutionary step in this niche? Well, it might have already happened. Thanks to the latest upgrades, we think the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be one of the most interesting alternatives to your compact Galaxy S23. Hear us out.

We are well aware that switching from a slab-type phone to a foldable one can feel daunting. However, the Galaxy Z Flip series is one of the most durable in the segment, and Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the best in the series so far. So if you're looking for a change of scenery in your quest for the perfect compact phone, the Flip 7 has a lot to offer.

Reason #1: Samsung DeX in the smallest package

First things first, we knew the Galaxy Z Flip 7 was serious about performance when we found out that it was the first in the Flip series to support Samsung DeX.

If you are a Galaxy S23 user who loves the phone's compact nature and the fact that it can double as a pocket PC through Samsung DeX, you might love the Galaxy Z Flip 7 even more.

The Z Flip 7 measures only 85.5 x 75.2 x 13.7 mm when folded and will run Samsung DeX at a decent performance level thanks to the Exynos 2500 chip and improved cooling system.

Reason #2: The upgraded cover display

As far as compact phones go, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is one of the most unique out there. It is substantially larger than the Galaxy S23 when unfolded. Your S23 has a 6.1-inch display, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 boasts a 6.9-inch foldable panel.

However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also equipped with a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED cover screen. When the phone is folded, the cover screen offers a unique experience focused on AI and the phone's compact form factor.

This new cover screen is also massively upgraded from the previous generation. And it is technically superior to the Galaxy S23's display. Here's how.

The Flip 7's cover screen boasts a peak brightness level of 2,600 nits and a 120Hz refresh rate. It has an LTPO backplane. In contrast, your Galaxy S23 lacks LTPO, so it can't drop to 1Hz, and it has a peak brightness level of 1,750 nits.

There are other advantages to replacing your Galaxy S23 with the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. Here's what comes to mind.

As far as pricing goes, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is available for $1,099, and in markets like the USA, Samsung will give you a $250 discount if you trade-in your Galaxy S23.

Is the Galaxy Z Flip 7 the perfect compact phone alternative to your Galaxy S23? It could be, especially if you're looking for something new, different, and more exciting. When folded, it's tiny next to the Galaxy S23, and yet, it can outperform it.
