Samsung reveals why Galaxy Z Fold 7 did not get a larger battery

Samsung has just launched its new folding phones, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 Brings a welcome battery upgrade. Unfortunately Galaxy Z Fold 7 Does not offer a battery, and Samsung has allegedly offered a reason for this decision.

Sammobile Asked Samsung why Galaxy Z Flip 7 got an increase in battery capacity (from 4000 mAh to 4,300 mAh) while the Galaxy Z -Fold 7 stuck with the same 4,400 MAH battery seen on 2021’s Galaxy Z -Fold 3.

The Galaxy manufacturer told the socket that “most” Galaxy Z Flip users wanted a larger battery, while Z Fold 7 had greater priorities, such as improved cameras, a wider cover screen and a slim and light design.

If anything, I assume that Samsung’s most important reason to skip a capacity upgrade is that it wanted a slim and light form factor. After all, Z-Fold 7 is among the thinnest book-style interconnections on the market, and it is also the easiest. This design is something I praised in my practical article, after many years of folding models that limped behind the competition in this regard.

This is also why Samsung was not ready to embrace silicon carbon batteries yet, which allows much higher capacity in rival folding. The HONOR MAGIC V5 have a battery of 5,820 mAh, while Vivo x fold 5 Has a 6,000 mAh battery. Both of these phones also have competing cameras and relatively wide cover screens. In saying that, Samsung’s own Charging cycle figures Suggests that the phones can offer better long -term battery health.

In any case, I would argue that a larger battery is more important for the fold line than it is for the Flip series. The flip phones have a small cover screen that sipes energy, while the folding devices have a smartphone size and a collection screen with tablet. At least Samsung did not pull a Galaxy S25 edge and reduced the battery capacity in the name of a thin form factor.
