The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ just been unveiled to the public and people can't get enough of knowing the phone's offer to the public. With everyone knowing that Samsung already learned its lesson from the mishaps of Note 7, people are wondering if Samsung's flagship this year is an improvement from S7 and S7 Edge in terms of battery life.

In an article by Phone Arena, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ will have a battery capacity of 3000 mAh and 3500 mAh, respectively. It's a confirmation for the 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch siblings after several rumors about their battery capacity.

Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+'s predecessors S7 and S7 edge have a battery capacity of 3000 mAh and 3600 mAh, respectively. The S8 and S7 have the same capacity but the S7 Edge has more capacity than the S8+.

In an article posted by the BGR, Samsung is in discussion with Japanese electronic components manufacturer Murata in becoming the third battery supplier for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. Leaked photos show that the battery packs of these smartphones were marked with "Samsung Japan".
