After much embarrassment, it looks like Galaxy Z Flip is the name for Samsung’s upcoming clamshell phone. The identify was previously tipped by leakster Ice Universe and has now been reaffirmed by XDA Developers’ Max Weinbach. Incidentally, Weinbach is also the one behind the latest series of Galaxy S2 0 divulges.
In a series of tweets, Weinbach exposes some more information about the alleged Galaxy Z Fold. The tipster was of the view that the foldable phone will get a 3,300 mAh battery and will keep going the Snapdragon 855 chipset. The 2019 flagship chipset was also tipped in a previous report, back when we believed the phone was called the Galaxy Fold 2.
The Galaxy Flip Z has a 3300 mAh battery. Along with the Snapdragon 855, this should be somewhat ok in everything. About the same battery live as the mid sizing S10.

At 3,300 mAh, the brand-new Galaxy foldable trumps the battery ability of the recently launched Moto Razr clamshell. The Razr comes with a measly 2,510 mAh battery, which Moto claims works well with the phone’s Snapdragon 710 SoC.
However, the Galaxy Z Flip’s more premium processor could drain its 3,300 mAh battery pretty quickly. It’s even smaller than the 3,500 mAh battery on 2018′ s Galaxy S9 Plus, which was not very impressive to begin with. In our testing, the S9 Plus’ battery gave us simply three hours of screen-on time during our camera testing and six hours with heavy usage.
It’s possible Samsung had to compromise on the battery capability of the Galaxy Z Flip in order to maintain a thin shape factor.
To mitigate battery drain, Samsung could look at deploying the Galaxy Fold‘s Adaptive Power Saving Mode on the new telephone. The feature regulates battery uptake depending on how “youre using” your device.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip presentation rumors
Apart from outing the Galaxy Z Flip’s battery details, Weinbach has also uncovered some info about its showing. He says that the phone will feature an ultra-thin glass layered with plastic to avoid scratching.
Samsung was very smart with the Galaxy Z Flip( just got term this is the name .)
They are using ultra thin glass and plastic. Samsung will be layering a plastic over the ultra thin glass for extra shield. If it gets scratched, it’s only the plastic and not the display.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors of Samsung’s next foldable using ultra-thin glass. Two previous reports have stated the same. However, that extra layer of plastic on top of the ultra-thin glass is new information to us.
Ultra-thin glass protection is good news since it’s more scraping resistant than plastic. It likewise reportedly outcomes in less wrinkles in comparison with the first wave of foldable phone displays.
Weinbach claims the plastic stratum on top will serve as additional protection for the display. If it gets scratched, merely the plastic will suffer the damage , not the display.
