news hardware Samsung: Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 dethrone autonomy champions
The most enduring smartphones aren’t always what you think they are. Having the largest battery does not mean that the autonomy is also the most consistent. Samsung just proved it with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4.
Optimizing the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 as much as possible
These two folding smartphones have a new trick up their sleeves. Once criticized for their average autonomy, Samsung has reacted and is now targeting the most enduring smartphones. It wasn’t made official until August 10th that we were able to start testing. And what we can say is that autonomy has become a strength.
No drastic change this year for Samsung’s two folding smartphones. The most interesting is hidden inside. We find in particular the new processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. A SoC aimed at high-end smartphones and much better optimized for the battery.
This new chip consumes much less energy while being more powerful than the previous ones. Result: The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 has a range that surpasses smartphones with significantly larger batteries.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 do better with less
The most impressive thing about the battery life results is how small the battery is. On the one hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a 4400 mAh battery, while the Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with 3700 mAh. So we are a long way from the 5000 mAh that have become more and more popular in smartphones. High end nowadays.

There is a question about the optimization made on the latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4. With such weak batteries, Samsung has worked wonders!
