Samsung Sticks with Same Battery for Galaxy Z Fold 7, while Flip 7 Falls Just Short

Samsung's Battery Decision for Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7

Samsung Continues with 4,400 mAh Battery in Galaxy Z Fold 7

• Current Context: Regulatory listings confirm that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will retain the same 4,400 mAh battery as its predecessors, specifically two batteries of 2,126 mAh and 2,146 mAh, totaling 4,272 mAh (marketed as 4,400 mAh).
• History: The Galaxy Z Fold series has not seen a battery capacity increase since the Galaxy Z Fold 2 introduced the 4,500 mAh battery.
• Competition: This decision is notable as other foldable competitors like Oppo are offering larger batteries, which can significantly impact battery life given the larger screen size of the Galaxy Z Fold series.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 Battery Capacity

Industry Observations

• User Experience: For current owners of the Galaxy Z Fold series, battery capacity has not been a significant issue, but it lags behind competitors in terms of endurance.
