Samsung’s next cheap phone will have a much bigger battery than the Galaxy S26 Ultra

A recent report reveals that Samsung's upcoming mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy A38, will feature an impressive 6,000 mAh battery. This is a 20% increase compared to the 5,000 mAh batteries typically found in Samsung's Galaxy A series phones over the past few years, and also represents a 20% boost from Samsung's current flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

While 6,000 mAh may seem modest compared to other Android phones on the international market, such as Honor's new phones with 10,000 mAh batteries, it is a significant step forward for Samsung. The company's recent adoption of silicon-carbon in its latest foldables suggests a commitment to improving battery capacity moving forward.

The Galaxy A38 is expected to launch in early 2027, with the Galaxy S27 rumored to receive minor battery upgrades as well.
