Revealed: the secret behind Galaxy S11's rumored longer battery life
The regular S11 is said to boast the Note 10+ battery of 4300mAh, against 3400mAh for the S10 model, while the S11+ may pack a battery close to the 5000mAh mark, like the Galaxy M30. The reasoning? Well, the 5G versions of those phones are going to be battery hogs, so Samsung will have to up the ante in the endurance department. Also, Huawei, and even Apple with the 11 Pro Max, are eating its lunch in the flagship battery life department.
| Galaxy S10 series | Galaxy S11 series (expected) |
|---|---|
| 3100mAh (Galaxy S10e) | 3730mAh (Galaxy S11e) |
| 3400mAh (Galaxy S10) | 4300mAh (Galaxy S11) |
| 4100mAh (S10+) 4300mAh (Note 10+) 4500mAh (S10+ 5G) | 5000mAh (Galaxy S11+) |
Also, because it can now. Buried in a Korean media industry report today, is the fact that the local ITM Semiconductor has begun supplying next-gen battery Protection Module Packages (PMP) to Samsung for the Galaxy S11.
Galaxy S11 may end up with both great camera and long battery life
The pleasant side effect of using PMP for the Galaxy S11 batteries is that the overall size of the package can shrink by up to 57%, allowing for much larger capacities, smaller battery footprint leaving space for other stuff inside the phone, or a combination thereof.
Samsung may have gone for the latter, bumping the battery capacity in a smaller package that would allow for more camera paraphernalia.
In this day and age, camera prowess and longer battery life are arguably the most important aspects to get advantage in for a top-end phone, and Samsung could be delivering both with the S11 series.
