The Galaxy Z Flip 7, expected to debut this summer, might not look wildly different from its predecessor, but there are signs that Samsung is working to improve the user experience — and that includes battery life and charging.

Leaks suggest a larger battery is on the way, and that could make this stylish foldable a much more dependable daily companion.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumored battery upgrades


Similarly to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may get a battery capacity bump. According to credible leaks, Samsung is planning to increase the battery size from 4,000 mAh (Flip 6) to 4,300 mAh for the Flip 7.

Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have better battery life?


Yes — at least that’s the expectation.

The Flip 6 already showcased respectable battery life for a foldable, scoring an estimated battery life of 6 hours and 45 minutes in our tests. It's individual scores were:
  • 16h 10m in web browsing
  • 9h 8m in video streaming
  • 10h 20m in gaming

With a larger 4,300 mAh battery and the more efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the Flip 7 could surpass these numbers, potentially hitting 7 hours in our battery score.

Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have better battery life?



Samsung increased the battery capacity with the Z Flip 6 by 300 mAh, and it seems another such increase is on its way with the Z Flip 7.

Admittedly. 4,300 mAh is still a bit behind the 4,700 mAh on the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), but this upgrade would give Samsung’s Flip series a much-needed boost.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumored charging upgrades


There are no reliable leaks suggesting faster charging, so we expect things to remain unchanged:
  • 25W wired charging, same as the Flip 6.
  • 15W wireless charging with standard Qi support.

That’s still decent, but it’s falling behind the 68W wired charging of the Razr Ultra (2025).

How fast will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 charge?


If Samsung keeps the 25W cap, we expect it to charge to around 50% in 30-40 minutes, and 100% in a little over 90 minutes.

Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have wireless charging?


Yes, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have wireless charging. Expect the same 15W wireless charging as on the Flip 6.

Samsung uses the Qi standard, so you don’t need a proprietary charger — any decent Qi-certified pad will do.

Will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have reverse wireless charging?


Yes, reverse wireless charging is expected again. It’s a feature Samsung has supported for years — you’ll likely be able to charge buds, watches, or even other phones at up to 4.5W.

As always, it’s more of a convenience than a primary charging method. No word on whether the speed or efficiency of reverse charging will be improved in the Flip 7.

What charger will the Galaxy Z Flip 7 use?


The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will use USB-C with USB Power Delivery + PPS, just like other Samsung flagships.

That means you don’t need to use Samsung’s charger to get near-maximum speeds. Any high-quality third-party USB PD/PPS charger (like those from Anker, Ugreen, or Baseus) will deliver solid results.

As usual, no charger will be included in the box, though, so you will have to get a 25W (or better) separately if you don't already have one.
