Amazon UK\u2019s Prime Big Deal Days included a lot of offers on 2025 Galaxy flagships, but barely anything from the 2026 releases. There\u2019s the Galaxy S25 for \u00a3600<\/a> (12\/256GB) and the Galaxy S25 Ultra for \u00a3900<\/a> (12\/512GB), for example. However, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is \u00a31,080<\/a> (for the same 12\/512GB configuration) and you don\u2019t even need a Prime subscription, unlike the S25 series offers. The price gap doesn\u2019t feel quite big enough to justify settling for one-year-old hardware.<\/p>\n

So, instead we zeroed in on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7<\/a>. Yes, it also hails from 2025, but the new Z Flip8 isn\u2019t even in stock on Amazon at the moment, while Samsung is asking \u00a31,150 for the base 12\/256GB model. You can knock \u00a3150 off that with a promo code, but you\u2019d still be paying \u00a3300 more and only getting half the storage.<\/p>\n

The thing is that the Z Flip8 didn\u2019t actually change all that much<\/a> from the 2025 model. It comes with a new chipset, the Exynos 2600 replaces the Exynos 2500, but Samsung still doesn\u2019t have a handle on thermal throttling. The other changes are iterative updates \u2013 for example, in our review<\/a>, we measured the inner display of the Z Flip7 at 1,471 nits and that of the Z Flip8 at 1,470. They couldn\u2019t be closer.<\/p>\n

Both phones have 4,300mAh batteries and while the 2026 phone comes with a Si\/C battery, the only thing this seems to have achieved is to drop the EPREL charge cycle rating from 2,000 to 1,200 cycles. The phone lasts longer on a charge and achieved an Active Use Score of 14:14h, beating its predecessor by over 2 hours. This is mostly the more efficient chipset, however. Wired charging is rated at 25W for both phones, but the new one is marginally faster \u2013 a full 100% charge takes 1 hour and 19 minutes instead of 1 hour and 31 minutes.<\/p>\n

The new model is slimmer (13.1mm vs. 13.7mm when closed) and a bit lighter (180g vs. 188g) compared to the Galaxy Z Flip7. However, you would need to do a side-by-side comparison to tell the difference. So, getting the cheaper 2025 model may be the prudent purchase.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE<\/p>\n

By the way, you can get a cheaper flip with the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE \u2013 an 8\/256GB model costs \u00a3500<\/a> after a hefty 45% price cut for Prime Big Deal Days. But this is basically a warmed-over Z Flip6, which makes it harder to recommend in 2026. You can read our Galaxy Z Flip7 vs. Z Flip7 FE<\/a> article if you are tempted to save \u00a3200.<\/p>\n
