Verdict: Galaxy Z Flip7 FE ahead on 1 row, Galaxy S25 on none
On the makers’ published figures, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE wins on display size (6.7 in against 6.2 in). 4 gaps are borderline, differences most people would not notice: weight (162 g against 187 g) for the Galaxy S25, RAM (12 GB against 8 GB) for the Galaxy S25, claimed video playback (29 h against 24 h) for the Galaxy S25 and battery lifespan (2,000 cycles against 1,700 cycles) for the Galaxy S25. The difference in battery per charge is below the threshold you would notice. Both state the same refresh rate, peak brightness, storage (base) and battery capacity. The other 36 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.

Specifications
A win is marked only where the figures can be ranked and the gap is one you could notice. A row the site has no threshold for says whether the two differ, and that it is not ranking them. = marks the same figure on both, ≠ not ranked a difference with no ranking. Every figure carries its source.
