Samsung is moving at a fast pace in developing its next-generation foldable smartphones. While the company has yet to officially announce the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, a recent certification listing has confirmed some key details regarding the battery capacity of the two handsets. The information has come through a certification platform named UL Demko, which verifies the quality and safety of batteries.
Galaxy Z Fold 7: How large will the battery be?
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 listing displays two battery models – EB-BF966ABE and EB-BF967ABE. The two batteries are reportedly rated at 2126mAh and 2146mAh respectively, making a total of 4272mAh. But for marketing reasons, Samsung may list this as a typical capacity of 4400mAh – just as it did with the Fold 6.
| Model | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Total (Rated) | Total (Typical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z Fold 7 (Leaked) | 2126mAh | 2146mAh | 4272mAh | 4400mAh |
| Z Fold 6 (Official) | – | – | – | 4400mAh |
This might imply that Samsung is looking to enhance battery efficiency this time rather than battery size. It might be the case that with the assistance of new and improved chipset, the performance and battery life of the phone will be evenly balanced.
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Big upgrade in battery
Now discussing Galaxy Z Flip 7, here a huge and clear distinction is made in the battery. Two models of batteries have been listed in the list of Flip 7 – EB-BF766ABE and EB-BF767ABE. Their rated capacity is 1189mAh and 2985mAh respectively, i.e., a total battery of 4172mAh.
Usually, that is, in practice, this battery will be approximately 4300mAh. For comparison, this battery was merely 4000mAh in Galaxy Z Flip 6 – that is, a 300mAh increase.
| Model | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Total (Rated) | Total (Typical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z Flip 7 (leaked) | 1189mAh | 2985mAh | 4172mAh | 4300mAh |
| Z Flip 6 (official) | – | – | – | 4000mAh |
Any mAh difference can make a difference in small devices like flip and fold phones, so this battery increase of Flip 7 can be an efficient change for consumers.
When will it be launched?
It is thought that the production of both Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 has begun and the company can release them in its upcoming Unpacked Event in early July. These phones can be released all over the world a few weeks later.
This time Samsung’s priority can be seen to be making foldable phones better in design, weight, and user experience. No large change in hardware is done but little yet significant upgrades are happening where necessary – such as Flip 7’s battery.
What to expect?
Until Samsung itself takes the stage and reveals these phones, one can only speculate based on leaks.
- There is no significant change in the battery of Z Fold 7, but its efficiency can be improved.
- The battery improvement in Z Flip 7 is certainly a good sign.
Also, if Samsung has improved new chipsets and software optimization, it can further enhance battery performance – without altering much hardware.
Conclusion:
Samsung’s upcoming foldable phone series is leaning towards a smart new upgrade while keeping the same shape. Flip 7’s battery boost is a savior for those end-users who never stop ranting about battery backup. Now it would be interesting to see what else new Samsung has in store at the launch event in July.
