Longer Lasting Flip? Galaxy Z Flip 7 Battery Gets The Green Light
Contents
Samsung plans to launch its new foldable phones in the second half of 2026. Initial leaks suggest a conservative line regarding the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. However, a new report points to an improvement in a key aspect of the Galaxy Z Flip 7: its battery capacity.
One of the biggest challenges in developing foldable phones lies in the battery. The ultra-thin design of these devices when unfolded limits the available internal space, forcing the use of smaller cells. Some large Chinese manufacturers have found ingenious solutions to integrate good batteries into their foldables. Sadly, Samsung has lagged behind in this regard. That said, it appears that the Z Flip 7 will offer an improvement in this area.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 get Demko certification, battery size confirmed
The Tech Outlook has spotted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 on the UL Demko certification listings. These entries confirm the battery cell capacities of both devices. According to the report, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature a battery split into two cells of 2,126 mAh and 2,146 mAh, for a total of 4,272 mAh. Samsung will likely market it as a 4,200 mAh battery—the same capacity as the current Galaxy Z Fold 6.
More battery juice for this year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7
However, the interesting part lies in the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s battery. The device will be powered by a pair of 1,189 mAh and 2,985 mAh cells, reaching a total of 4,174 mAh. Samsung could promote it as a 4,300 mAh battery, which will be an improvement over the 4,000 mAh of the current Galaxy Z Flip 6. It’s noteworthy that a March report teased the potential bigger cell in the device.
Despite this increase in capacity, a larger cell will not necessarily translate into longer battery life. Leaks indicate that the Z Flip 7’s foldable screen will expand to 6.85 inches. Therefore, the extra juice may be necessary to maintain a battery life similar to the current model. A potentially more efficient chip will also play a role.
Unfortunately, both models appear to have made no progress in terms of fast charging. According to reports, both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 maintain wired fast charging capabilities up to 25W. For some reason, Samsung continues to fail to improve this key aspect, even in its next Fold device, whose price will remain considerably high.
