TL;DR A trusted leaker has claimed that Samsung’s Wide Fold will feature a ~4,800mAh battery.
This would be larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s battery but much smaller than the iPhone Fold’s reported battery size.
The same source claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a 5,000mAh battery.

There’s promising news for Galaxy Z Fold 8 owners, though. Digital Chat Station claimed in a follow-up comment (seen below) that the “regular” foldable will have a 5,000mAh battery. This would be significantly larger than the Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh battery, though still not as big as the iPhone Fold battery.
