Samsung is expected to be working on its Galaxy Z Fold 7 smartphone to follow up on their successful innovation in that space. Despite the numerous design and feature upgrades, the upcoming iteration is reportedly going to feature the same battery capacity as the previous versions.
Evolution of Design and Features
(However, over the years, we saw gradual improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold series and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also no different.) A direct response to some of the concerns surrounding last year’s Samsung Galaxy Z Fold SE, this latest take on the folding phone eschews bulkiness in favor of a larger display and a completely new S Pen interaction philosophy, further elevating its form factor without losing utility.
Recent leaks from Setsuna Digital on Weibo reveal exciting upgrades including:
Improved Hinge Mechanism: Somewhat better folding actions which is likely to improve the durability and longevity of the device.
Camera Improvements: The main and under-display cameras are also due for big upgrades that should deliver better photos and videos.
Robust Build: Improvements in waterproofing and dust resistance are on the cards, making the Galaxy Z Fold 7 a more resilient device.
Despite these enhancements, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will maintain a 4,400mAh battery capacity, the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 3 launched in 2021. Charging speeds are also expected to remain unchanged, aligning with the specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold SE.
Anticipation and Expectations
While Samsung is preparing to bring its next-generation foldable devices out to market later this year, anticipation is high with regard to display, camera, and overall design improvements. While the battery capacity may not change, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is sure to make its mark on the rapidly-changing landscape of foldable technology.
Final Thoughts
Not upping the battery capacity might seem like a misstep, but rather it makes more sense, against the wider backdrop of making it work within an existing set up. With improvements in those regards, any phone enthusiast looking for the latest iteration of foldable tech may still feel like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a must-have.
Samsung continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in foldable devices, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a testament to their commitment to innovation and quality, even if it means sticking with a tried-and-true battery solution.
