What you need to knowRumors claim that Samsung might set aside a battery upgrade in 2026 for the Galaxy Z Flip 8.The dual battery setup for the phone have reportedly been discovered, and they amount to the same 4,300mAh setup as the Flip 7.Previous rumors claim the Flip 8 could be a little lighter and thinner, but it still might not bring a telephoto lens.<\/p>\n

It’s a classic: right after Unpacked, the rumors about Samsung’s next phones start piling up, and this one’s about the Flip.<\/p>\n

We’ve been without a Galaxy S Ultra battery upgrade for a while, now a rumor from Galaxy Club<\/a> suggests the Flip 8 might leave that out, too (via GSMArena<\/a>). According to the publication, the Flip 8 has been spotted with two batteries: EB-BF776 and EB-BF777. This is standard: foldable phones usually feature two batteries, with the capacities split to make up the total capacity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is where the rumor says the combined capacity might end up the same as the Flip 7. Rumors allege EB-BF776 could hold 1,150 mAh, while EB-BF777 may see 3,024 mAh. Going by the rumored numbers, this would put the Galaxy Z Flip 8 at a battery capacity of 4,174mAh. The post claims that this is the “same” as the Flip 7<\/a>. If you were to look, the Flip 7 features a 4,300mAh battery.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that those numbers don’t match. What will likely happen is Samsung’s “typical” rating for the Flip 8 will say 4,300mAh, which is how it’ll be advertised. Regardless, the “rated minimum” battery for the Flip 7 matches the rumors for the 8, so the phones are looking pretty similar.<\/p>\n

Upgraded twice, but not thrice?<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, we often jump on Samsung for a lack of battery upgrades for its flagship Galaxy S series, but for its Flip line, it’s tried to upgrade things<\/a>. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 features a 4,000mAh battery, which then jumped to 4,300mAh on the Flip 7. Even the Flip 6 was an upgrade over the Flip 5’s 3,700mAh battery. There were rumors before the soon-to-be predecessor debuted that claimed we might see a battery boost. Though the boost is small, it’s still something that gives users a little more time before charging.<\/p>\n

Now, we’re seeing the opposite as Samsung might stop the upgrading there. Regarding other rumors, the Flip 8 is rumored to go thinner and lighter<\/a> by ~10%. Its camera rumors also suggest we might see a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie setup, with no such telephoto lens.<\/p>\n

Android Central’s Take<\/p>\n

I think we can all agree that we’d love a Galaxy S Ultra battery upgrade. But this isn’t a post about the Ultra, this is about the Flip 8. For the sake of it, Samsung’s Flip isn’t that bad with its battery capacity. We have to remember: it does fold. So, there’s likely some compromises there. However, Motorola’s Razr line takes things up slightly higher. The Ultra sits around 4,700mAh, while the other variant is ~4,500mAh. So, Samsung could definitely bring its totals up a notch, but leaving things where they are for a generation probably won’t ruin my taste of it.<\/p>\n
