Samsung Z FLIP 3 8GB-256GB

Samsung Z FLIP 3 8GB-256GB Product Description:

Among the less exciting bits of the Flip3's hardware is its battery - the 3,300mAh capacity has been carried over from last year, and on the new model, it needs to cope with a high refresh rate screen (adaptive as it may be) and a newer, more power-hungry chipset (more powerful too, of course, but that's beside the point here). Having said that, we realize that weight and space constraints were a key factors when choosing battery capacity for the Flip3, so the designers stuck to their priorities.

Predictably, then, the Flip3 didn't excel in our tests, though you could probably rationalize around its numbers if you feel like it. Numbers are numbers, though, and 10 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing is too little - the vanilla S21 can do 11h, the iPhone 12 mini is good for 12h, the Zenfone 8 and the Xperia 5 III stand at twelve-and-a-half. Similarly, just under 12 hours of video playback are below what non-foldable competitors can offer, though the mini is in the Flip's ballpark. Voice call longevity is not great either, and standby is decent per mAh for an SD888 device, but the mAhs are few, and it is an SD888.

In the end, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G's overall Endurance rating works out to 69h. That's the same as the iPhone 12 mini, but less than pretty much anything else you can get for the money. Keep in mind, though, that the Flip folds.
