Samsung gave the Galaxy S23+ (review) a bigger battery over its predecessor, which notably improved the battery life of the flagship Android smartphone. It appears that next year’s Galaxy S24+ could also receive a battery boost in terms of capacity as seen in the latest certification.
Based on the latest Dekra listings issued in the Netherlands (via Nashville Chatter), the Galaxy S24+ carries a 4755 mAh rated battery capacity, which is somehow a modest increase compared to the Galaxy S23+’s 4565 mAh rating. However, it should be noted that these values are rated and not the advertised numbers.
In reference, the Galaxy S23+ carries a 4700 mAh adjusted battery capacity. Meaning, its successor could be advertised to have about 4900 mAh final rating or about 4 percent bigger capacity. While it doesn’t sound like a significant change, the higher efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that should power the device could also contribute to giving it a longer endurance.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s battery design and rating
In addition to the plus version of Samsung’s next-gen brick flagship phones, certification for the Galaxy S24 Ultra was also uncovered. Accordingly, the more premium unannounced handset has a 4855 mAh battery rating and will likely translate to 5000 mAh final capacity. Furthermore, it comes with an SM-S928 model number while the Galaxy S24+ is aptly labeled as SM-S926.
Unfortunately, these listings don’t confirm if we will get the rumored stacked battery design. It was previously reported by leaker @RGCloudS that the Koreans are currently testing the new technology that would offer denser cells resulting in slimmer battery packs. It is said it may debut on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. There is also a slim chance it might be shared with the vanilla models.
Should Samsung also bring stacked batteries to its more devices? And would you think this breakthrough tech would convince you to buy the Galaxy S24 (Ultra) next year? Tell us in the comments.
