Description:
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series could have much bigger batteries than the S25 
line, according to the latest rumor.

FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
Samsung Galaxy S26 series could use silicon-carbon batteries That should 
allow for a 10-15% increase in capacity The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra then 
could have a battery of up to around 5,750mAh 

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is almost here, but reports suggest their 
batteries wont be any bigger than last years phones. So, if youre hoping for 
improved battery life, you might want to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S26 
series, which could have much bigger batteries. 

According to @Jukanlosreve  citing leaker @UniverseIce  the Samsung Galaxy 
S26 series will use silicon-carbon batteries. This kind of battery has only 
recently started making its way into phones, with the likes of the OnePlus 13 
, Honor Magic 7 Pro , and Xiaomi 15 Pro already having silicon-carbon 
batteries. 

Those three phones have much larger batteries than most handsets, at 
6,000mAh, 5,850mAh, and 6,100mAh respectively, and thats no coincidence, as 
this kind of battery allows for around 10-15% higher energy density, so a 
higher capacity battery can take up the same amount of space. Update: The S26 
will use a silicon-carbon battery.Source: Ice Universe, Undead Weibo.

The source doesnt say what capacities we can expect from the batteries in the 
Samsung Galaxy S26 series, but for reference, the Samsung Galaxy S24 has a 
4,000mAh battery, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus has a 4,900mAh one, and the 
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery. Were expecting the same from 
the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. 

So, assuming an increase of 10-15%, we might be looking at somewhere between 
4,400mAh and 4,600mAh for the Samsung Galaxy S26, between 5,390mAh and 
5,635mAh for the Galaxy S26 Plus, and between 5,500mAh and 5,750mAh for the 
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. 

Those are big enough increases that these phones could last substantially 
longer between charges than current Galaxy S models, so if battery life is a 
priority for you, they might be worth waiting for. 

Of course, this is just a rumor for now, and a very early one at that, so 
even though the source is reputable we wouldnt count on it happening. 

Plus, while rumors suggest the battery capacities in the Samsung Galaxy S25 
line wont be higher than in the S24 series, we wont be certain of that until 
these phones launch on January 22. And even if theres no change in capacity, 
they might still offer improved life through software optimizations. 

So, you might not actually have to wait until 2026 for a longer-lasting 
Samsung smartphone, but in any case, well have a clearer idea soon. You might
