As Samsung gears up for its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, a leaked EU energy label for the Galaxy Z Fold7 has unveiled critical specs, sparking intrigue. From battery life to durability, what does this reveal about Samsung’s next foldable flagship?
A leaked European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) document, shared by @MysteryLupin on X, discloses key details about the Galaxy Z Fold7. Mandated by new EU regulations, the label rates energy efficiency, battery life, durability, IP rating, and repairability.
The Z Fold7 boasts a 4,400mAh battery, delivering 40 hours and 28 minutes per charge and retaining 80% capacity after 2,000 cycles, according to the document. Its class B energy efficiency suggests solid power management, aided by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and One UI 8.0 optimizations.
Durability shines with a class A rating for drop resistance, despite the phone’s slim 8.9mm folded and 4.2mm unfolded design. The phone is thinner than the Vivo X Fold5 and is one of the thinnest foldables released to date. However, the IP48 rating, unchanged from the Z Fold6, lags behind Vivo’s IP59. The class C repairability score indicates challenges due to the foldable’s complex design. A QR code on the label, meant to provide more details, currently links to an inaccessible EU database page, likely due to a 72-hour delay post-launch.
The Galaxy Z Fold7’s leaked EPREL label highlights impressive battery longevity and drop durability but disappoints with a stagnant IP48 rating and average repairability. Will its slim design and Snapdragon 8 Elite performance outweigh these trade-offs? Interested users can pre-order now for $50 Samsung credit from Samsung’s website, or stay tuned for Unpacked’s full reveal.
