Galaxy Z Flip 7 Battery and Charging: All official specs
Let’s break down how the battery and charging experience compares across these two foldables.
Battery size: Z Flip 7 vs Z Flip 7 FE
The Z Flip 7 FE, on the other hand, sticks with a 4,000mAh battery — the same size as the Flip 6. It’s a cost-cutting decision, but still a respectable number compared to other compact foldables.
| Model | Battery Size |
|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 | 4,300 mAh |
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE | 4,000 mAh |
Does the Galaxy Z Flip 7 have better battery life?
The Z Flip 7 is rated for up to 31 hours of video playback, thanks to the larger battery and newer chip.
The Z Flip 7 FE, with the older chip and smaller battery, is estimated to perform closer to the Flip 6 — around 24 hours.
We expect the Z Flip 7 to surpass 7 hours in our mixed-use battery test, while the Z Flip 7 FE should land around the same 6h 45m mark as the Flip 6.
Charging speeds: No change for either model
- 25W wired charging
- 15W wireless charging
- 4.5W reverse wireless charging (Wireless PowerShare)
While Samsung hasn’t increased charging wattage this year, 25W is still enough to charge halfway in about 30 minutes.
How fast does the Galaxy Z Flip 7 charge?
- Expect the Z Flip 7 to charge from 0–50% in about 30 minutes, and to full in 75–90 minutes.
- The Z Flip 7 FE will charge a bit faster to 100% thanks to the smaller battery, though peak charging speed is the same.
Wireless charging is capped at 15W on both, and Samsung recommends using its official Fast Wireless Charger Stand or Duo to achieve those speeds. Generic Qi chargers may deliver 10W or less.
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?
- 25W USB PD PPS charger
- 3A USB-C to USB-C cable
Samsung’s flagships follow the USB Power Delivery standard, so you can use reputable third-party chargers from brands like Anker, Ugreen, or Baseus.
Unlike some competitors (Motorola, Xiaomi, Honor), Samsung doesn’t rely on proprietary charging profiles — which means you’ll get consistent performance across third-party accessories.
