Rumours were rife that Samsung might reduce the capacity of Galaxy Note8's battery, just to be on a safer side and avoid Galaxy Note7-like fiasco. But, there was no concrete evidence to suggest by how much the company has decreased the load. Now, an image claimed to be of Galaxy Note8's battery has surfaced online revealing the capacity.

Slash Leaks has posted new images of Galaxy Note8's Li-ion batteries confirming that the device will have 3,300mAh. It is almost six percent less than Galaxy Note7 (3,500mAh).

The percentage might look like a small number, but it can have a significant effect on the size and design of the battery. It has to be noted that Galaxy Note7 had minute flaws, which were apparently overlooked by Samsung R&D engineers and look what happened.

Having learnt valuable lessons from the incident, Samsung has set up a broad range of internal quality and safety measures to improve the product safety, including the 8-Point Battery Safety Check (BSC) and additional protocols like multi-layer safety measures. Galaxy Note8 will undergo these tests before getting the nod for mass production.
