Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus to pack a Huge Battery from the Box

Various reports has it recently that Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus smartphones will have bigger batteries than their predecessors. But it looks like Samsung will play it safe, to the detriment of anyone who wanted a longer-lasting device. 

Even if we’d expect bigger batteries in brand new phones, Samsung is on the rebound following the Galaxy Note 7 battery fires, which forced the company to cancel the phones two months after it launched.

A korean site The Investor says the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus will have smaller batteries than initially expected. The Samsung Galaxy S8 will pack a 3,000 mAh battery, while the phablet version will have a 3,500 mAh battery, these are almost the same capacities used last year for the Galaxy S7 (3,000 mAh) and Galaxy S7 edge (3,600 mAh). Previous reports released said the Galaxy S8 versions will have 3,250 and 3,750 mAh batteries.

The report notes that Samsung made some changes to its battery supplies following the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, by adding Japanese company Murata to its supply line.

so yeah, if you are considering geting the new Samsung Galaxy s8 which will be in the market in few weeks, then consider the weight that comes along with huge batteries.
