Galaxy S26 FE proves a bigger battery isn't the only way to change battery life
Stop buying phones based on mAh
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has the same battery and display as its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 FE. According to Android Police, it features a 4,900mAh cell paired with a 6.7-inch 120Hz display.
In contrast, upcoming Samsung flagships, the Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro, are expected to see significant battery upgrades. 9to5Google reports that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will have a rated capacity around 700mAh higher than its predecessor, a 14% increase. The Galaxy S27 Pro's battery size was not directly comparable, but it represents a "huge jump" from the Galaxy S26.
Both the Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro are also listed with 60W wired charging. This comes as other Android flagships, such as the rumored Oppo Find X10, are expected to feature much larger batteries, with some reportedly packing in up to 8,000mAh.
