Leaks suggest base Galaxy S24 will get larger battery
The anticipation for the Galaxy S24 series is building, and leaks are starting to offer tantalizing glimpses of what’s to come. One notable upgrade on the horizon is in the battery department. Let’s delve into the details of this intriguing development.
Galaxy S24 with a larger battery: further details
While details about the Galaxy S24 lineup are still sparse, there’s strong indication that Samsung is sticking to the established formula with the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra models. Notably, each of these models is set to receive a battery boost compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 series.
Starting with the basic model, the Galaxy S24 is poised to sport a larger battery – 4,000mAh to be exact, according to recent exclusive information reported by GalaxyClub. While the rated capacity is 3,880mAh, it will be marketed as a 4,000mAh battery. This represents an improvement over the Galaxy S23, which relied on a 3,900mAh Li-Ion battery.
It’s worth noting that the Galaxy S21 was the last basic smartphone to house a 4,000mAh battery. Subsequent iterations like the S22 and S23 saw a reduction in capacity. Given this context, the alleged 4,000mAh capacity still seems relatively modest, especially when compared to other smartphones on the market boasting 5,000mAh batteries. Samsung, known for its optimization prowess, is likely to maximize the potential of this seemingly conservative capacity.
However, the discrepancy between the rumored 4,000mAh capacity and the capacities of the other S series smartphones in the lineup is raising eyebrows. The Galaxy S24 is expected to be flanked by models with larger batteries, making the base model’s capacity appear a step down.
Despite the initial impressions, Samsung’s engineering could very well surprise us with efficient battery management. The true capabilities of the Galaxy S24’s battery will be unveiled in real-world usage scenarios.
Historically, every S series release in the past three years has occurred in the first quarter. Thus, the Galaxy S24 series is likely to follow suit, with an official announcement anticipated for January or February of 2024. As the rumors continue to swirl, tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see how Samsung’s battery enhancements play out in the next installment of their flagship series.
