Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is anticipated to debut in August as the successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Samsung is expected to equip the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC on the upcoming clamshell smartphone. Like the Galaxy S23 family, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 could be powered by a special version of the chipset. The battery life of the model will reportedly depend on this customised Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is said to carry two batteries with model numbers EB-BF731ABY and EB-BF732ABY. It could feature a pull tab to make battery replacement easier.

As per a report by Sammobile, the battery life of the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 will mostly depend on the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The former has a rated capacity of 971mAh, while the latter has a larger capacity of 2,620mAh. This could bring a total battery capacity of 3,591mAh.

The predecessor, Galaxy Z Flip 4, reportedly has two battery units with 1,040mAh and 2,555mAh capacities and it is backed by a 3700mAh battery. The new model could also boast a 3,700mAh cell.
