10 Charging Hacks to Extend Galaxy Z Flip 6 Battery Life [Wired & Wireless]

We discussed the potential battery upgrade of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and practically got it right.

Phone Arena confirms that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a nearly 10% bigger battery and 4000mAh, which is substantially decent for a phone of its size. For comparison, last year’s Z Flip 5 has a 3,700mAh battery capacity. This significant upgrade could be a ripple effect of the Z Flip 6’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and other hardware and software upgrades.

Generally, a larger mAh means long-lasting battery life between charges. Their estimates for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 battery life are as follows:

• 16h for web browsing (12h on Flip 5)

• 9h for video streaming (7h on Flip 5)

• 10h for gaming (7h on Flip 5)

These estimates do not come close to Samsung’s promise of 68 hours of music and 23 hours of video streaming.

However, everyday usage habits like high screen brightness and constantly running apps can significantly impact battery life. Other factors that may affect the Z Flip 6 battery life include:

• Age

• Temperature

• Foldable display's refresh rate

With the Z Flip 6’s wired and wireless charging capabilities, there are more ways to extend your device’s battery life throughout the day. Explore them below.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 supports fast charging and up to 25W wired charging speed . Here are some hacks to maximize wired charging.

Hack 1: Use the original charger or a certified equivalent.

For optimal charging speeds and safety, always use the original charger that came with your Z Flip 6 or a certified equivalent. Third-party chargers without proper certification can damage your battery or even cause safety hazards.

Hack 2: Enable fast charging.

Fast charging significantly reduces charging time. To enable it (if not already on):

Step 1: Navigate to Settings.

Step 2: Tap on Battery and Device Care.

Step 3: Select Battery.

Step 4: Toggle on Fast charging.

Hack 3: Close background apps.

Background apps can drain your battery even when you're not actively using them. Here's how to close them effectively:

• Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (navigation bar) to access recent apps.

• Swipe up on individual app previews to close them, or tap "Close all" to close them all at once.

Hack 4: Adjust screen brightness.

The Z Flip 6 features a brighter screen— 2,600 nits. However, the brighter your screen, the faster your battery drains.

Adjust the brightness to a comfortable level for your environment. You can do this manually through the quick settings panel or enable automatic brightness for adjustments based on lighting conditions.

Hack 5: Utilize Battery Saver Mode.

Battery Saver Mode reduces background activity, limits performance, and restricts certain features to conserve battery life. It's ideal for situations when you need your phone to last longer.

However, be mindful that some apps and features might become less responsive in this mode.

Wireless Powershare allows you to use your Z Flip 6 to wirelessly charge other Qi-enabled devices. Here's how:

• Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings panel.
• Locate and tap "Wireless Powershare."
• Place the device you want to charge back-to-back with your Z Flip 6.
• Ensure both devices are centered on their respective charging surfaces.

If you've tried these hacks and your Galaxy Z Flip 6 battery life is still significantly lower than expected, consider seeking professional help from an authorized Samsung service center. They can diagnose any potential hardware issues affecting your battery performance.
