Samsung in talks with LG to supply batteries for Galaxy Z Fold 4

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of the foldable smartphones that the company plans to announce this year along with the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Recently, South Korean media revealed that LG Energy Solution batteries are expected to be installed in the next-generation Galaxy foldable phone.

According to the information, Samsung’s MX division is reportedly considering using LG Energy Solution’s small pouch-type battery for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 phone.

The company has been ordering and using LG Energy Solution batteries since 2019. This is for some models in the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. This is the first time that LG Energy Solutions’ battery usage plan for a Galaxy foldable device has been announced to the outside world.

The starting portion of foldable phones released so far is exclusively supplied by Samsung SDI. Yet, some of the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S21 have been acquired by LG Energy Solutions. Although if it is not a foldable phone to be released this year, LG Energy Solutions is likely to be responsible for the initial supply of the new model next year.

Talking about the Samsung premium phones such as foldable phones determines the performance of the smartphone business. Since it is directly related to the transfer image, the quality and performance of the components are strictly checked. The extended range of support for the foldable phone has been described as a high rating for the LG Energy Solutions battery.
