Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable phone has already been sealed with a disaster in its making – a potential battery issue that will leave consumers disappointed. The latest rumor mill suggests the device will mirror the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and come equipped with a 4,400 mAh battery or worse. However, experts claim silicon-carbon batteries could easily solve this problem. These denser batteries conserve more energy in smaller cells, enabling phone manufacturers to pack more power into ultra-thin devices.
Several Chinese rival brands have already adopted silicon-carbon batteries on both foldables and flagship phones, delivering impressive battery endurance despite slender designs. Samsung is falling behind due to higher costs of this patented tech, as well as the company’s reluctance to absorb or pass on these costs to consumers. This raises concerns about Samsung’s willingness to invest in cutting-edge technology.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 boasts a promising design with an ear for feedback from the market and impressive specs like the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and decent One UI interface. However, its battery limitations may detract from its overall appeal on the global stage, where more innovative devices like Oppo’s Find N5 and Vivo X Fold 5 are poised to take Samsung by storm.
