Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 used and refurbished
Right up to the Z Flip6, the Flip's cover screen stopped where the cameras began. With the Z Flip7, Samsung stretched it across the whole front of the lid and set the lenses into cut-outs in the panel. Folded, it's the first Flip that doesn't look like a phone with a little window stuck on.
In this category you'll find a used and refurbished Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – the 2025 clamshell foldable. The category page lists 256 GB and 512 GB versions in red, black and navy. Before a unit goes on sale, SWOPiFY partners check it and, if needed, send it for repair.
What does the Galaxy Z Flip7 offer?
Samsung unveiled it on 9 July 2025, and it hit the shops on 25 July. The FlexWindow, as the cover screen is called, is 4.1 inches, with a resolution of 948 × 1048 and a 120 Hz refresh rate. You can reply to a message on it, take a selfie with the main camera and run selected apps without opening the lid. Unfold it and you have a 6.9-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and 2600 nits of peak brightness.
Inside is an Exynos 2500 – the same in every country, Europe included. It's the first Flip powered by a Samsung processor rather than a Qualcomm one, always with 12 GB of RAM. On the back there are two cameras, a 50 MP main and a 12 MP ultra-wide, and on the front a 10 MP one. There's no telephoto lens.
The battery is 4300 mAh. Wired charging runs at 25 W, wireless at 15 W, and 4.5 W reverse charging is enough for your earbuds. Unfolded, the phone is 6.5 mm thick, folded 13.7 mm, and it weighs 188 g. The body is IP48-certified.
The Z Flip7 next to the Z Flip6 and Z Flip8 – where's the difference?
Compared with the Flip6, there are plenty of changes and you'll spot them straight away:
- a 4.1-inch, 120 Hz cover screen instead of 3.4 inches and 60 Hz;
- a 6.9-inch inner screen instead of 6.7 inches;
- a 4300 mAh battery instead of 4000 mAh;
- 6.5 mm thick unfolded instead of 6.9 mm;
- an Exynos 2500 instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The cameras are the same as on the Flip6. If you mostly open the phone anyway, a refurbished Flip6 will do the same job for less. Paying extra for the "7" makes sense when you want to do more with the phone closed.
The Z Flip8 from July 2026 has the same diagonals, cameras, battery and charging speed. It's thinner and lighter, and in Europe it got the Exynos 2600 and a richer cover screen interface. Reviews describe it as a "refined Flip7" – you'll feel the difference mainly in your hand.
Why consider a refurbished Z Flip7?
A refurbished Galaxy Z Flip7 costs you less than a new one, and the launch of the Flip8 hasn't taken away either its new software or its years of support. You can put the money you save towards the 512 GB version, since there's no microSD slot.
Flip phones are often bought on a whim and end up in a drawer a year later. When one changes hands, it keeps working instead of becoming e-waste before its time. We won't call that an environmental feat, but hardware that already exists simply stays in use for longer.
What should you look out for with the Z Flip7?
Updates are in good shape. Samsung has announced seven years of new Android versions and security patches for this model. It launched with Android 16 and One UI 8, and since October 2026 One UI 9 with Android 17 has been rolling out to it, in Europe too.
The inner screen comes with a factory-fitted film. Don't remove it yourself – leave replacement to a service centre. The crease in the middle is visible against the light and you can feel it under your finger; that's part of the design. What you should check is whether the lid stays put halfway and closes evenly. The IP48 rating means it can survive a dip in fresh water, but it doesn't protect against dust, and sand in the hinge is a real problem for a foldable. There's no charger in the box – for the full 25 W you need a power adapter with PD PPS.
In this category you can filter smartphones by:
- storage – 256 GB or 512 GB;
- RAM – 12 GB in every version;
- colour;
- price range;
- condition.
Read the condition description for the inner screen more carefully than the one for the frame. A scratch on the aluminium doesn't matter; a scratch on the folding panel does.
Can you trust a refurbished Z Flip7?
A refurbished Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is a used phone. That's how we describe it, and we never suggest it's new. SWOPiFY partners take it through a 44-point checklist – from both screens, the hinge and the battery to the fingerprint reader and face recognition, cameras and connectivity. Its condition is described by one of these grades: Premium, Excellent, Good or Fair.
Every order comes with a warranty – with a moving hinge, that's something a private seller on a classifieds site can't give you.
Old smartphone gathering dust?
The buyback programme will turn it into money you can knock off the cost of your purchase. No photos for an ad, no arranging to meet strangers.
