9 days left until Christmas: Is the Galaxy Z Flip 7 the most festive gift?

We have nine days left until Christmas, and every day of the week, we'll be taking a closer look at some of the best Samsung products that we believe could make great gifts for the 2025 holiday season.

We're kicking things off with one of the most beautiful and unique mobile devices on the market right now: the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Is this the most festive Samsung phone in 2025 or what?

Unwrapping gifts freshly picked from under the tree is part of the magical Christmas experience for millions of people every year. And it's not just about the gifts themselves. The unwrapping part of the activity is just as rewarding, as curiosity and excitement build up.

This is why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 feels like a more festive device than any other phone in Samsung's lineup. Unboxing your first foldable phone can be exhilarating regardless of the time of the year, but unboxing the Flip 7 on Christmas can be way more rewarding.

Here are a few reasons the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will rarely, if ever, flop as a holiday gift:

Yes, you could say that the Fold 7 is technically superior. But that's what makes the Galaxy Z Flip 7 better in some cases. It doesn't have as serious a tone as the Fold 7, plus it costs less, even though it uses the same impressive hinge and foldable tech.

Furthermore, let's not forget the nostalgia factor, especially if whoever is getting the Z Flip 7 as a gift has prior experience with old feature flip phones before. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 can spark strong feelings of nostalgia more so than the Fold.

The sprinkles on top are the Flip 7's more colorful finishes. It is available in a couple of extra festive colors, including Coralred and Blue Shadow.

But most importantly, because of its folding yet familiar design, using the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feel like unwrapping a gift over and over again for the foreseeable future. Every time you use the Flip 7, it's an event.

For mobile fans, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 should be a source of joy long after Christmas. Most other smartphones start feeling boring after the initial setup, but the Flip 7 offers long-lasting interest through its unique form factor, design, and user experience.

And is that not one of the things that make a gift great? The long-lasting impression, and not just the initial burst of excitement following the unwrapping?

In the USA, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 usually costs $1,099 and up, but during this holiday shopping season, you might find it at a discount. As of this writing, it's $200 off without a trade-in.
