We’re eagerly awaiting the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in the coming months. Samsung has kept mum on details, not even confirming the long-rumored July 10 launch for the foldables. But the launch is inching closer, as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has been spotted on its way to the FCC, confirming its battery details.

As spotted by MySmartPrice, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, model number SM-F741U, will come with dual-cell batteries, model numbers EB-BF741ABY and EB-BF742ABY, as learned from its FCC certification. The two batteries are said to be 1,097mAh and 2,790mAh in capacity, respectively, giving us a total capacity of 3,887mAh. Consequently, this could allow Samsung to market the Galaxy Z Flip 6 as a flip foldable with a 4,000mAh battery (typical value).

This 4,000mAh battery will be bigger than the 3,700mAh marketed capacity of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Combined with the better battery efficiency of the presumed Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, we can expect to see better battery life on Samsung’s premier flip foldable this year.

However, in my opinion, this is still a compromise. Other foldables, such as the OPPO Find N3 Flip, have a 4,300mAh battery, while the vivo X Flip comes with a 4,400mAh battery. The older Galaxy Z Flip 5 barely delivers all-day battery life, and there is definitely room to improve here. A mere 300mAh battery increase will be beneficial, but not nearly enough for the foldable to stay competitive for another year ahead.

We’ll have to wait and see if Samsung includes any other improvements on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 to help with battery life. What do you think? Will a 4,000mAh battery be enough for a flip foldable in 2024? Let us know in the comments below!
