- The Galaxy Z Flip 6 uses two batteries, totaling 3,887 mAh rated capacity, or 4,000mAh typical capacity.
- With the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung’s battery pair is expected to offer a 4,174mAh rated capacity.
- That could result in the company advertising the foldable as having a 4,300mAh typical capacity.
Samsung may be cooking up some crazy double-folding smartphone designs for MWC, but when it comes time to meet the next generation of the manufacturer’s Galaxy Z Flip and Fold models later this year, we’re not expecting to see any major shake-ups. Sure, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may arrive with a newly thinned-down build, but one recent source suggests the Flip 7 could actually get a little bigger. While that sounds counter to general trends, we might get at least one solid upgrade from that move, as rumors discuss the possibility of a battery size boost.
A compact folding design like the Flip 6 employs presents some fundamental challenges for engineers looking to find room for batteries. So far, that’s meant Samsung splitting up its power solution into two batteries, and on the Flip 6, those combined to offer the phone a 4,000mAh capacity. That was already a step up from the Flip 5’s 3,700mAh, and now GalaxyClub makes that argument that we can expect another similar upgrade headed down the pike.
