A new report claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 isn't going to have a bigger battery than its predecessor. The size of the internal foldable display may not be significantly increased, either.
Galaxy Z Fold 3 could be thinner and lighter than its predecessors
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is reportedly going to have a 4,380mAh battery. That's smaller than the Galaxy Z Fold 2's 4,500mAh battery. Some of you may remember that it was the original Galaxy Fold that had the 4,380mAh capacity. Like its predecessors, the upcoming handset will have a dual-battery system as well.
A smaller battery would likely result in the device being slightly thinner and lighter than its predecessor. This is going to be a welcome change, one that most customers would be fine with. A minor reduction in battery capacity will likely be made up for by the more power efficient internals.
The foldable display is said to be marginally smaller as well. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature a 7.55-inch foldable display compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 2's 7.6-inch panel. That's really not going to make much of a difference, particularly if Samsung has been able to further trim the bezels.
Samsung hasn't confirmed as yet when it's going to unveil the new foldable smartphone. A recent report has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 2 will both be launched in July this year.
