Real Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Battery Capacity

In the past, I had two Galaxy Z Flip 3. I bought a used one with ~80% battery capacity left and after a warranty case I got a replacement phone with ~90% battery capacity. I thought it was also a refurbished used one.

Now I have a new Z Flip 6 and I now charged it for the very first time. I disabled the battery protection in oder to measure the capacity. The charge was 10% - 100%. The measured capacity is just 3525 mAh, while rated design capacity is 4000 mAh (some frequently written, more technical information is 1097+2790=3887mAh). This corresponds to the ~90% of the refurbished Flip 3. So it seems that one was new as well.

Since the battery life is the second biggest issue (after mechanical screen fatigue), this kinda disappoints me. I also post this for others to know, because I didn't find such a measurement online.

I wonder, if other Z Flips / other Samsung models / other ühone brands habe similar real capaity compared to the data sheet value.

For measurements, I use AccuBattery and charged with low energy consumption (Flight mode, no bluetooth, no GPS etc.) for better accuracy
