This hot new Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumor is sure to put a big smile on the faces of road warriors

This hot new Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumor is sure to put a big smile on the faces of road warriors.

If you know how Samsung typically conducts its yearly product upgrades, you probably didn't have very high expectations from the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 in terms of battery life improvements over its 2024 predecessor.

But surprise, surprise, a new report from a very credible source claims that the company's next big Android-powered flip phone will essentially be to the Z Flip 6 what said 2024 model was to 2023's Galaxy Z Flip 5, at least from a battery capacity perspective.

Two substantial upgrades in a row?!

Yes, I am as astounded as you to discuss the very distinct possibility today that the Z Flip 7 could pack a battery size of around 4,300mAh this year. That would be up from 4,000mAh on last year's Z Flip 6, which in turn represented an important enhancement over the 3,700mAh cell capacity of the Z Flip 5 before it.

In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Fold 5, Z Fold 4, and even the Z Fold 3 all offered the exact same 4,400mAh battery capacity, and believe it or not, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 actually stood at a slightly higher 4,500mAh mark all the way back in 2020. Even if this year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 manages to bump up that figure (which is by no means a guarantee for the time being), it's pretty obvious that Samsung is employing two radically different upgrading strategies for its two distinct foldable families.

Circling back to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, I should point out that the clamshell technically packs two batteries with a combined rated capacity of a little under 3,900mAh. Because that number is officially advertised as a nice and round 4,000mAh, the expectation is that the Z Flip 7's own two batteries with rated capacities of 2,985 and 1,189mAh will yield a "typical" (or advertised) combined figure of 4,300mAh.
