Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7: Bigger battery, fewer worries!

Samsung’s premium smartphones, such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, offer impressive battery life, comfortably lasting a full day.

However, the company’s foldable models fall short in this area, mainly due to the limited size of their batteries. Last year, Samsung improved the Galaxy Z Flip6’s battery life by increasing its battery capacity from 3.700 mAh to 4.000 mAh. This year, it looks set to introduce an even bigger upgrade.

According to GalaxyClub, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7 is expected to feature a 4.300 mAh battery, further extending its battery life. The phone will likely include two batteries with capacities of 2.985 mAh and 1.189 mAh respectively, bringing the total to 4.174 mAh.

For comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has a combined capacity of 3.887 mAh, which is marketed as 4.000 mAh.

Unlike Chinese companies such as Oppo, OnePlus and Xiaomi, Samsung has yet to adopt higher-density silicon carbide batteries. Instead, it appears to have redesigned the Flip7’s internal layout, creating more room for a larger battery. Although the upgrade to 4.300 mAh is significant, the device still falls short of the Xiaomi Mix Flip, which features a 4.780 mAh battery.

Other upgrades to the Galaxy Z Flip7 will be limited, however

Contrary to earlier rumours, the new report claims that the Galaxy Z Flip7 will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The combination of the new, more efficient chipset and the larger battery is expected to deliver improved battery life compared with its predecessor.

In addition, the larger battery could be one of the key features setting the Flip7 apart from the rumoured, more affordable FE version.

However, beyond the battery and chipset upgrades, no major changes are expected in the new model. According to the information currently available, the Flip7 will likely retain the same 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, as well as the same internal and external screen sizes.
