How Good is The Camera?
Samsung has fitted the Galaxy Z Flip7 with a 50MP and 12MP main camera that's designed to work seamlessly with the phone's unique foldable form factor. Meanwhile the inner camera is a 10MP camera that provides sufficient day-to-day selfie captures.

Now accessible on a 4-inch Super AMOLED cover screen, the FlexWindow display isn't just for notifications – it's a game-changer for photography.

1. Flex Mode Photography
This is where the Z Flip7 truly shines. When partially folded, the phone becomes its own tripod. The phone also stays stable while you adjust angles using the FlexWindow.

Samsung banks on several settings to help the Galaxy Z Flip7 achieve the perfect image.
