As for the Galaxy Z Fold6 battery, it is still 4400mAh and the charging power is 25w.April 4, 2024
Foldable smartphones often face battery life challenges. Unlike some other foldable phone brands that have packed bigger batteries into their foldable phones, Samsung seems to have been sticking to the same dimensions for a while.
These exact same figures can also be found on previous Samsung foldables. The Z Fold 5, Z Fold 4, and Z Fold 3 all share them. The Z Fold 2, meanwhile, has a slightly larger 4,500mAh battery with the same 25W charging capability.
For some, the 4,400mAh battery and 25W charging of next-gen foldable phones like the Z Fold 6 is a bit of a letdown. Some people might let the battery size go down, but who wants to wait forever to get the charge back?
On the bright side, the upcoming foldable may bring upgrades to other parts, including a titanium frame, which is one of the expected improvements. The flagship foldable phone may also come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy SoC and 16GB RAM.
In addition, there are rumors online that the Z Fold 6 may be equipped with a new UTG (ultra-thin glass) panel. Presumably, this means a smoother touch experience and a phone that can withstand more bumps and scrapes.
Fortunately, the wait for a definite answer isn’t too long. Samsung is expected to launch the Z Fold 6 in Paris this July. Then we learn everything about cell phones, battery failures, and more.
