The Galaxy S27 Ultra battery upgrade could have been much wilder
A 7,000mAh battery may have been on the table for the S27 Ultra.
Samsung reportedly tested a 7,000mAh battery for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, but ultimately decided against it. The current target for the battery capacity is said to be 5,700mAh to 6,000mAh, potentially a result of advancements in silicon-carbon battery technology. Leaks suggest that Samsung prototype Galaxy S27 Ultra models were found without the S Pen, alongside a potential new Samsung over-ear headset.
For years, Samsung has been following suit as rivals increase battery capacities in their flagship Android phones, with the Galaxy S Ultra line remaining at a 5,000mAh battery since 2020. The 7,000mAh option reportedly tested by Samsung was just one of several prototype variations, but it seems the company has now settled on targeting a 5,700mAh to 6,000mAh battery instead.
