New leak corroborates Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 battery specs – and it's a letdown for Fold loyalists
A new certification corroborates earlier rumors about the battery sizes of the yet-unannounced Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 .
Samsung's upcoming foldables – the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 – have leaked so much in recent months that it's fair to say that we know it all. However, most things come from leaks, so they have a relative level of certainty. But when it comes to certifications, those things are often more confirming than rumors. Now, a UL Demko certification reveals (with more certainty than rumors) the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 's battery capacities. These numbers were already present in leaks from before, but now... well, they're as good as official. Galaxy Z Flip 7 buyers may be treated with a nice surprise, a bigger battery than last year. The Flip phone is seen using two batteries with model numbers EB-BF766ABE(1,189mAh) and EB-BF767ABE (2,985mAh). That's a total minimum capacity of 4,174mAh. Expect it to be marketed as a 4,300mAh battery, which puts some 300mAh on top of the Galaxy Z Flip 6's 4,000mAh battery cell.
Meanwhile, the meaner Galaxy Z Fold 7 is left without an upgrade on this front. The model is listed sporting the two batteries EB-BF966ABE (2,126mAh) and EB-BF967ABE (2,146mAh). That is a total minimum capacity of 4,272mAh, which would likely be advertised as 4,400mAh . Yep, same as last year. Previously, a leaked filing revealed that the charging speeds of the two foldables won't be bumped, which is not the best news. So, you can expect the same 25W wired and 15W wireless charging on the upcoming phones.
Rumors have previously indicated the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may come with bigger screens, and the same battery capacity leaves questions: would we see a battery life downgrade? Or would the chip and a more power-efficient display compensate for the lack of a battery cell upgrade?
The two phones have reportedly entered mass production now, and are expected to be unveiled during a summer Unpacked event, reportedly in early July.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may feature a 200MP main camera and a thinner body, while the Flip 7 may get more screen real-estate on the cover display, which is said to grow to 4 inches.
The two will join a curious foldable market situation. We have Oppo and Honor with their thin foldables fighting for your heart, we have Motorola's new Razr family featuring this time an 'Ultra' model, all while Apple is likely prepping its first foldable iPhone (albeit for 2026). Let's see how Samsung will join the fight for the best foldable of 2025!

Report: Samsung's first smart glasses are launching next year
Michail, 14 August 2025 Samsung already unveiled its first XR (extended reality) headset dubbed Project Moohan, but it's also working on more simplified AI glasses for the mass market. A new report from South Korea claims Samsung's first pair of smart glasses will be unveiled in late 2026. The new report specifies that the design is similar to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses with built-in microphone, speakers and a camera. The glasses will reportedly come with an AI assistant allowing the user to make calls, send texts, capture content and control media playback. Samsung is reportedly aiming to establish its name in the AI glasses market as it believes this product category will succeed smartphones as the next frontier in the consumer electronics gadget world. Ray-Ban Meta glasses This is not the first time we're hearing about Samsung's plans for AI glasses. A report from earlier this year suggests Samsung is working on two pairs of AI glasses called Project Haean and Project Jinju internally, and they are rumored to launch alongside the Project Moohan headset.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite vs Galaxy Tab S10 FE: Main differences to expect
New Samsung tablets are coming soon, and while the Galaxy Tab S11 series will surely attract the most attention, there will be some movement in the lower tiers. A new entry-level, low-cost Samsung tablet under the name of Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is reportedly coming our way to offer decent specs at okay price tags. However, inspecting the leaked specs reveals the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is an even lower-specced tablet that doesn't offer anything particularly noteworthy over the Galaxy Tab S10 FE that was released a few months ago. Galaxy Tab S10 Lite vs Galaxy Tab 10 FE differences explained: Well, to no surprise at all, we expect no visual changes between the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite and the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. It's more likely to get the same exact aluminum slabs rather than not. In fact, the leaked dimension corroborates that story: the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite measures 254.3 × 165.8 × 6.6 mm and weighs 524 grams, while the Galaxy Tab S10 FE measures 165.8 x 254.3 x 6 mm and weighs 500 grams. Don't bother to look for the difference, it's just half a millimeter, which isn't such a big deal either way. You're more likely to notice the weight difference. So, for all intents and purposes, it appears that these two tablets will be pretty much identical in terms of exterior design and size. Totally unsurprisingly for the price bracket, keep in mind. Both tablets sport the same 10.9-inch LCD display up front. The rumor mill insists the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite has a resolution of 2112 by 1320 pixels, whereas the Galaxy Tab S10 FE one is sharper at 2304 by 1440 pixels. This seems to be one of the few differences between the tablets, but it's doubtful you'd notice if we presented the two in front of you. We expect that both tablets will be sharing the same IP68 water and dust resistance. In terms of colors, things are fun here. The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will be available in Gray, Silver, and Red, while the FE arrived in Black, Gray, and Blue. Just like almost all Galaxy Tab S tablets so far, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will come with S Pen support, and the stylus itself will be included in the box. That is good news for all those who have grown accustomed to the useful accessory. In terms of other accessories, Samsung had a Book Cover Keyboard Slim for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, which is an add-on keyboard that doubles as a case and a kickstand. We are fairly certain the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite would score support for those as well. The Galaxy S10 Lite will reportedly score a downgrade to the 5nm Exynos 1380 chip, which is definitely a humbler performer than the Exynos 1580 that makes the rounds in the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. Will you be able to notice this difference in real life? Probably. The truth is, both chips are fairly humble mid-rangers, so don't expect stellar raw performance, and occasional stutters are common. Battery life could be good, though. Memory-wise, the new tablet is another step down. There will be a 6GB RAM version with 128GB of storage and an 8GB RAM variant with 256GB of storage. In contrast, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in the entry-level variant and 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in the more upscale one. Software The Galaxy Tab S10 FE is supposed to get four years of software support and five years of security patches, meaning it will be kept up-to-date by the end of the decade. We expect the same for the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. In terms of software, Android 15 and One UI 7 will probably be the software of choice on the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. Expect the same user-friendly experience and Galaxy AI features, Battery and Charging We expect the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite to arrive with an 8,000 mAh battery, just as large as the 8,000 mAh one inside the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. That's why we largely expect similar battery life between the two devices, even though the Exynos 1380 could technically be slightly more efficient. Charging-wise, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE came with snappy 45W wired charging, which is currently the fastest Samsung has in store for its users. However, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will come with a slightly slower 25W charging. Wireless charging isn't really a thing on tablets, especially aluminum slates. The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is expected to feature an 8MP rear camera and seemingly a humbler 5MP front camera, which doesn't inspire us with confidence about the quality of your video calls. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE came with 13MP rear and 12MP front cameras, which is definitely a camera setup inspiring more confidence. Well, it appears that the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is yet another lowly Galaxy tablet that doesn't shine with anything in particular. What's more, it's shaping up to be making a hard case for itself when you consider the existing Galaxy Tab S10 FE sounds like a significantly better purchase with better specs and overall value. Of course, there's a chance the official specs differ from the leaked ones, but we find that rather doubtful.
