Samsung doesn't want to risk anything when it comes to the battery of its upcoming flagship, and there have been several leaks regarding crucial details about the new phone. The latest one reveals the batteries for both the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
Two leaked images show the battery capacity for the standard Galaxy S8 with a 5.8-inch display and the larger Galaxy S8+ with a 6.2-inch display. As previously rumored, the standard model will draw power from a 3,000mAh battery, while the larger phone will use a 3,500mAh battery, considering it has a larger screen and thus consumes more power.
A previously leaked image showed that the two phones will have a WQHD+ resolution (2960×1440), the settings menu will offer users the option to adjust the resolution and then save battery. Furthermore, the default resolution for both phones appears to be FHD+ or 2220×1080 pixels.
Another piece of information emerging from the new images is the fact that the batteries are manufactured in Korea and assembled at Samsung's factory in Vietnam. The Galaxy Note 7 was powered by batteries manufactured in China.
Following the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco and the battery the latter phone, Samsung has decided to diversify its battery suppliers and is said to have contacted several companies. One of these suppliers is Japanese company Murata Manufacturing Works.
To regain consumer trust after last year's flagship failure, Samsung also plans to offer an unconditional money-back guarantee for Galaxy S8 customers. Customers will therefore be able to try the phone for three months and if they don't like it, they can get a full refund from Samsung.
