According to Korean media The Elec, Samsung Electronics plans to purchase a batch of batteries from LG Energy Solution for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable phones.
It is reported that the battery supply cooperation between Samsung and LG started as early as 3 years ago. LG mainly supplies batteries for high-end models such as the Galaxy S series.
It was previously reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, two foldable phones, have recently passed the certification of South Korean regulators. From the shared battery photos, it can be seen that a new pull tab has been added, and it has been updated during the maintenance process. Easy to remove the battery.
However, certification documents show that battery suppliers are mainly ITM Semiconductor in Vietnam and Ningde Amperex in China. Foreign technology media SamMobile speculates that there will be multiple battery suppliers for these two foldable phones, and LG is one of them.
