These batteries have rated capacities of 1,150mAh and 3,024mAh, respectively, for a total rated capacity of 4,174mAh for the Galaxy Z Flip 8.<\/p>\n<p>If the number sounds familiar to you, that\u2019s because the same total capacity as what we see on last year\u2019s Galaxy Z Flip 7, though the individual batteries are slightly different. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 could thus land in stores with a typical battery capacity of 4,300mAh.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect miracles from this battery setup, though you can still hope for slightly better battery life thanks to SoC optimization. While other Android brands are moving towards silicon-carbon batteries, the Flip 8 isn\u2019t where we expect Samsung to make the jump, if this leak pans out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-flip-8-camera-specs-leak-3631750\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Previous leaks<\/a> have suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will sport a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera \u2014 the same as the Galaxy Z Flip 7.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, rumors also suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could retain the same pricing as the Galaxy Z Flip 7, at least in some regions. However, don\u2019t get too happy just yet, as the RAM crisis is still in force, and the phone\u2019s final pricing will only come to light closer to launch, in around July. Stay tuned and hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
