Samsung isn’t whittling battery capacity in its smartphone lineup this year.
Pocket-lint gave the Galaxy S6 a glowing review – even though battery life wasn’t great. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 2,550mAh battery. That capacity is on the low side by modern standards, and we suspect that’s where Samsung took the hit to achieve the skinny dimensions. Similarly, the S6 Edge is capable of a full day, but we’d recommend carrying a spare top-up charger.
In what seems to be an attempt to combat the battery tick against last year’s flagships, Samsung is reportedly giving the Galaxy S7 Edge a massive battery.As noted by 9to5Google, a recently-surfaced FCC filing has revealed the Galaxy S7 Edge will feature a 3,600mAh battery. That’s much larger than the 2,600mAh battery from last year as well as the Note 5’s 3,000mAh.
Keep in mind a bigger battery doesn’t always mean longer runtime.
The blog claims these details are specific to the Galaxy S7 launch in the Netherlands; however, consumers have seen Samsung stage its preorders in this fashion before. Samsung has also announced the debut date for the Galaxy S7 as February the 21st at an event in Barcelona, just ahead of Mobile World Congress.
However, perhaps more importantly, we are still around 6 months out from the unveiling of the Galaxy Note 6, which means Samsung is working with a few different prototypes ahead of release before they decide on the final model.
“We studied that the user patterns for large-screen devices in Europe were much more entertainment-centric, viewing-centric, than while the Note proposition is really good, is more on the productivity side and personal organization side”.
Based on supposed leaked images, the Galaxy S7 will also adopt the Galaxy Note 5’s curved back with an almost flush camera design.
The screen is rumored to continue to be of 5.5 inches with HD – a resolution of1,280 x 720 pixels.
The official Android 6.0 Marshmallow update recently rolled out in Poland for Samsung Galaxy S6 as well as for S6 Edge units.
Pre-orders made during that time is said to eligible for a free Gear VR headset. Now, here’s the latest round up rumors about Samsung Galaxy Note 6 specs, features and launch date. As for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, it’s priced at €800/£620, which should also come as no surprise if you’re familiar with the previous pricing rumors or Samsung’s flagships in general.
