A few weeks ago, it had been reported that Samsung's new Note 7 (aka Note 6) would house a 4,000mAh battery. Now, reliable leakster Eldar Murtazin has claimed it will have much lesser cell capacity.
Murtazin (via Twitter) has disclosed that the Galaxy Note 7 will feature a 3,600mAh battery, just 600mAh more than its predecessor.
Though the upgrade is moderate, Murtazin says it will be more than enough to play high resolution videos for close to 20.5 hours under full brightness display option. That's an impressive feat for a device with a power guzzling 5.7-inch QHD screen. It is believed that the device will have battery power optimization feature we see in the Samsung's mid-range J series phones.
There is no proof to verify the authenticity of his claim, but Murtazin has a pretty good track record of predicting product's feature, especially with regard to Samsung handsets. He shot to fame in 2013, after accurately predicting the Galaxy S4 launch date and since then, he has been delivering consistently and we believe the battery details of Galaxy Note 7 is most likley to turn true.
