Many people have consistently had issues with Samsung’s Flip line of foldable smartphones due to the small cells that have been included in all of them – for instance, the Galaxy Z Flip5 launched last summer has a capacity of just 3,700 mAh
Samsung appears to have heard the feedback and is planning to increase the capacity for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip6, which is expected to be announced in the middle of this year. According to a new report, the next Flip will reach 4,000 mAh.

This is still lower than the Oppo’s Find N3 Flip which has a 4,300 mAh battery, but it’s closer than ever. While on paper it’s just an 8% or so increase from the Flip5 to the Flip6, any extra longevity is important for Flip owners.
Like all foldables, the Flip6’s total battery capacity is divided between two cells, one for each side. One of those is rated at 1,097 mAh and the other at 2,790 mAh. That’s a total of 3,887 mAh rated capacity, which should translate into a 4,000 mAh typical capacity since the vanilla S24 is advertised as having a typical capacity of 4,000 mAh despite its rated capacity of 3,880 mAh.
For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip5 has one cell rated at 971 mAh and the other at 2,620 mAh, for a total of 3,591 mAh rated capacity – which translates into the aforementioned 3,700 mAh typical capacity.

According to previous rumors, the Galaxy Z Flip6 will have a 3.9″ cover display, up 0.5″ from the 3.4″ panel fitted to its predecessor. It should also get a 50 MP main camera, up from the 12 MP snapper in the Flip5.
