With the new foldables out of the way, more information about Samsung‘s 2024 flagships has started to hit the internet. We recently learned that the Galaxy S24 series would feature a titanium body and come in two processor variants. A certification listing has now revealed the battery capacities of the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. The Plus model will seemingly get a bigger battery than its predecessor.
Certification agency Dekra recently listed battery modules for the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. The former unit has the model number EB-BS926ABY, while the latter has the mode number EB-BS928ABY (S926 and S928 are the model identifiers of the two phones, respectively). These listings reveal that the Plus model has a rated battery capacity of 4,755mAh. The Ultra model’s battery has a 4,855mAh rated capacity.
A quick look at the rated battery capacities of the Galaxy S23 series reveals that Samsung is adding more power to the Plus model. This year’s Galaxy S23+ has a rated capacity of 4,565mAh. Comparing this value with the one seen in the new certification listing, the battery capacity of the Galaxy S24+ is 190mAh more than its predecessor. This should mean a typical capacity of 4,900mAh (vs. 4,700mAh of the Galaxy S23+).
Samsung is increasing the battery capacity of its Plus flagship, again
This is incredible work on Samsung’s part, considering that it increased the battery capacity of the Plus model by 200mAh this year as well (from 4,500mAh on the Galaxy S22+). Unfortunately, the Ultra model hasn’t gotten a battery boost ever since Samsung started making Ultra-branded Galaxy S flagships (since the Galaxy S20 Ultra in 2020). It has remained at a rated capacity of 4,855mAh and a typical capacity of 5,000mAh.
The base model, on the other hand, got a 4,000mAh battery (typical capacity) in 2020 and 2021. Samsung lowered it to 3,700mAh with the Galaxy S22 last year, before increasing to 3,900mAh this year. It remains to be seen if the base Galaxy S24 will get a bigger battery or if the Korean firm will keep things unchanged. The base Galaxy S23’s rated battery capacity is 3,785mAh.
The Dekra certifications don’t reveal anything else about the Galaxy S24 duo. It’s unclear if Samsung will increase the charging speed a little next year. The base Galaxy S23 charges at a maximum speed of 25W, while the Plus and Ultra go up to 45W. You can expect to get more information about the next-gen Samsung flagships in the coming months. The devices should debut in early 2024.
