"Upgrade in Battery Expected for Samsung's Latest Galaxy Z Flip 6"

 

Samsung's Flip series users have long grappled with concerns over battery life, largely due to the compact battery cells in these devices. For instance, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, released last summer, housed a modest 3,700 mAh battery.

In response to these concerns, Samsung seems to have listened. The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6, slated for a mid-year unveiling, will feature a larger battery. Recent reports suggest it will boast a 4,000 mAh unit.

Although the Galaxy Z Flip 6's 4,000 mAh battery still falls slightly short of Oppo's Find N3 Flip, which offers a 4,300 mAh battery, it represents a significant improvement. While the numerical increase from Flip 5 to Flip 6 may seem modest at 8%, for Flip owners, any extension of battery life is highly valued.

Like all foldable devices, the Flip 6 divides its total battery capacity across two cells—one on each side. These cells are rated at 1,097 mAh and 2,790 mAh, respectively, resulting in a combined rated capacity of 3,887 mAh. This is likely to translate to a typical capacity of 4,000 mAh, especially considering that the standard S24 features a rated capacity of 3,880 mAh, marketed as a typical capacity of 4,000 mAh.

Comparatively, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 consists of one cell rated at 971 mAh and another at 2,620 mAh, giving it a rated capacity of 3,591 mAh and a typical capacity of 3,700 mAh.

Speculations suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature a 3.9″ cover display, an upgrade from the 3.4″ panel on its predecessor, and a 50MP primary camera, a significant improvement from the 12MP camera on the Flip 5.
