- The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is official, but none of the three major US carriers are currently offering it directly.
- Customers on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile will need to buy the Z Flip FE unlocked or finance it through Samsung or a retailer.
- Boost Mobile and Xfinity Mobile are offering the Z Flip FE for free as part of a promo for their postpaid plans, though more carriers could eventually follow.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are now official, and this year also brings a new family member: the Z Flip 7 FE. The new model is essentially a more affordable version of the Z Flip, priced $200 less than the regular Z Flip. Unfortunately for those in the US, getting this budget model might be a little trickier.
While Samsung and third-party retailers will offer the unlocked Galaxy Z Flip FE, those who buy phones directly from their carrier will find limited options. As first spotted by SamMobile, all three major US carriers appear to be skipping out on the Z Flip FE. From Best Buy to Samsung, retailers are only offering the unlocked version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, despite offering carrier-specific options for the Fold 7 and Flip 7. Likewise, none of the big three carriers have any information about the Flip 7 FE on their official website.
