A recent report hinted that Galaxy S7 series will boast a waterproof body, inciting excitement among fans.
A US government-owned Federal Communication Commission (FCC) document, containing Galaxy S7 Edge battery details, has now emerged, bringing more joy to Samsung patrons.
The FCC file obtained by 9to5Google has revealed that Galaxy S7 Edge will house a 3600 mAh battery, 1000mAh more powerful than that found in S6 Edge. If this turns out to be true, S7 Edge will stand out as the only flagship series smartphone to boast such a big battery. The current crop of high-end phablets such as Huawei Nexus 6P, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Apple iPhone 6S Plus come with 3450mAh, 3000 mAh and 2750mAh cells, respectively.
Some believe that the increase in battery capacity in the new phone may not have such a huge impact on battery life if the rumours of Galaxy S7 Edge coming in 5.5-inch QHD screen size turns out be true. S6 Edge had 5.1-inch QHD display.
That said, the US-bound Galaxy S7 Edge is expected to come in Snapdragon 820 chipset and the processor is said to be more power efficient compared to the previous version. It also comes with Quick Charge 3.0 technology, making Galaxy S7 Edge a compelling device.
