EU Label Leak Confirms Galaxy Z Fold7 Battery Life, IP Rating, and Durability Scores

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 just had a key spec sheet leak—not from a tech insider, but thanks to the EU’s new smartphone labeling regulations. These mandatory labels, designed to inform consumers, now reveal critical details about a phone’s battery life, durability, repairability, and water resistance. They’ve also become a new source of credible early leaks.

According to the EU label for the Galaxy Z Fold7, the foldable flagship will come with a 4,400mAh battery, same as its predecessor. While the exact capacity isn't printed on the label, it reveals the expected battery life per charge: 40 hours and 28 minutes. Additionally, Samsung has rated the battery for 2,000 charge cycles—maintaining at least 80% capacity over that lifespan.

In terms of durability, the Galaxy Z Fold7 scores an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. While that’s a decent level of protection, it's slightly below some newer foldables that offer IP59. However, the Fold7 scores an impressive A for drop resistance, meaning it's likely to handle falls better than most. Its repairability rating, however, is a modest C, suggesting it won’t be the easiest device to fix.

A QR code included on the label links to a dedicated EU site that should offer even more technical specs. At the time of writing, however, the Galaxy Z Fold7 page is unavailable, with a notice citing a potential 72-hour delay from market release to live data. A look at a similar label for the Galaxy S25 Edge shows details like battery capacity (3,786mAh), 40-hour battery life, glass hardness on the Mohs scale, and more in-depth repair scores.

These new EU labels are shaping up to be a win for consumers—and a goldmine for tech enthusiasts and leakers alike.
