Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Battery Capacity Expected to Remain Unchanged

Recent leaks suggest that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 will likely feature the same 4,300mAh battery capacity as its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This marks a pause in the trend of increasing battery sizes seen in previous generations of the foldable device.

Battery Cell Configuration

According to reports from GalaxyClub, the Z Flip 8 will utilize two battery cells with rated capacities of 1,150mAh and 3,024mAh, combining for a total rated capacity of 4,174mAh Gadgets360, MegaMobileContent. Samsung typically advertises this as 4,300mAh, consistent with the Z Flip 7’s marketed capacity.

Efficiency Improvements Expected with New Chipset
