TL;DR<\/p>\n
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a> is one of the best foldable phones<\/a> of 2025, and that\u2019s largely due to its cutting-edge design. However, the Z Fold 7 retains a 4,400mAh battery for the fifth straight generation, while Samsung also nixed S Pen support. There might be good news for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, though.<\/p>\n Dealsite<\/a> (via Jukanlosreve<\/a> on Twitter) reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could have a battery larger than 5,000mAh. This would be much bigger than the Z Fold 7\u2019s 4,400mAh battery.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n Such a dramatic increase in battery capacity would be very uncharacteristic of Samsung. In addition to every Z Fold model since the Z Fold 3 offering the same 4,400mAh battery capacity, the firm\u2019s Ultra phones have stuck with 5,000mAh batteries since 2021. We have seen a couple of notable battery upgrades in 2025, though, namely the Galaxy Z Flip 7<\/a> (4,000mAh to 4,300mAh) and Galaxy S25 FE<\/a> (4,500mAh to 4,900mAh). Either way, I wouldn\u2019t hold my breath for a massive battery upgrade, but I hope to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n Otherwise, the outlet says there are \u201chigh expectations\u201d that the new foldable phone will support the S Pen<\/a> after Samsung skipped this feature on the Z Fold 7. Samsung claimed at the time that it removed the digitizer layer that enables S Pen input to deliver the Fold 7\u2019s ultra-thin design.<\/p>\n Finally, the Z Fold 8 might have a reduced display crease due to the use of so-called laser-drilled metal plate technology. This tech is also said to be used on Apple\u2019s rumored iPhone foldable.<\/p>\n In any event, we hope these claims turn out to be true. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 delivered major sales growth for Samsung, and that was in no small part due to its radical design. So it would make sense for Samsung to offer even more exciting upgrades for the Fold 8 if it wants to continue this sales trend.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
