Do the math and that total is 3,303mAh. As Samsung and other phone makers advertise what is known as typical rather than rated battery capacity, the phone will be marketed as having a 3,400mAh capacity – up from 3,300mAh on the Galaxy Z Flip 3.

There’s also been talk of a rotating camera, but we guess that might have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.
