We’ve now reviewed the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and it might just represent the peak of this series so far. While battery life and charging speeds haven’t seen major leaps, there are still a few notable improvements worth highlighting — even if they’re more subtle this time around.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 battery and charging upgrades
Samsung has boosted the battery capacity of the Z Flip 7 to 4,300 mAh, up from 4,000 mAh on last year’s Flip 6. That makes it the largest battery in any Flip so far, although still not close to the 4,700 mAh battery inside the Razr Ultra.
The charging, however, has not seen any changes, so the Flip 7 has 25W wired, 15W wireless and 4.5W reverse-wireless charging.

Does the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have reverse wireless charging?
Both the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE feature Wireless PowerShare. This lets you charge accessories like Galaxy Buds or a Galaxy Watch by placing them on the back of your phone. The output remains 4.5W, so it’s best for top-ups, not full charges.
What charger does the Galaxy Z Flip 7 use?
The Z Flip 7 does not include a charger in the box. To get the fastest possible speeds, you’ll need a:
