I would be ok with 3500.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is pretty much unlikely that Samsung is going to be bringing back the removable battery. Given that they are focused on their current design language, a removable battery is pretty much impossible to implement.Lesser capacity than the s7 edge? only way this is acceptable if Samsung brings back the removable battery
nothing beats going from almost empty to 100 percent in 20 seconds
Well i think this will be the case anyways too bad because the Note 4 was such a great phone.Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is pretty much unlikely that Samsung is going to be bringing back the removable battery. Given that they are focused on their current design language, a removable battery is pretty much impossible to implement.
Thing is, one Android OEM is sticking with that philosophy on their flagships. LG.
Although the G5 has been rather underwhelming, the V20 might be the one to pay attention to if you want a removable battery.
but yeah seems like the Note 7 will only be an s7 edge with a S Pen.

I don't have issues on the Note 5 I'm using.
That is weird. Nothing showing up in the battery chart?Well thats good to know. The idle drain sucks on mine I use the doze feature and it still sucks. Hard reset it twice and it still blows. So anything is an upgrade from the crap battery life.

I said 3500 mah is ok but... Honestly if it gets the same or better battery life as my note 5 (3000mah) then I would be happy. Now if it got the same as my LG G4, which also had 3000mah yet got like half the battery life of my note 5, then no. I would prefer my note 5 even if the battery on the g4 was increased to 3600. This despite the g4 having 2 less power hungry a57 cores than the note 5. Of course they are using a different process, which probably has some affect too.According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Note7 may feature a battery that is 3500mAh in capacity. This is based on information released by a Korean carrier for the SM-N930S variant of the Note7.
Bear in mind that while this is a 100mAh decrease from the Galaxy S7 edge, it is a healthy 500mAh upgrade from the Note5, along with improved efficiency in its internals such as the display and processor.
It may be soon to tell, but the Note7 may feature some efficiency improvements over the S7 edge that could give it identical battery life.
What do you guys think? Personally, while it is mildly disappointing, this is still a significant step up from my old phone, both in battery capacity and efficiency, which means that I should have no issue getting this phone to last the day on a single charge. While I would like more, 3500mAh plus the more efficient internals is more than sufficient for my daily usage pattern.
Of course, your mileage may vary, as everyone has different usage patterns.
New leak points towards the Galaxy Note 7 sporting a 3,500mAh battery - SamMobile
(LG G3 - Android 6.0)
Thing is, it's too soon to tell how the Note would fare.
We'll have to see when it is official and reviewers and users use it in the real world.
My personal prediction would that it would be able to last a day on mixed use without much issues. While it certainly is no headliner in 2016, a 3500mAh is still a pretty nice capacity and combined with efficient hardware and software, should mean that daily use shouldn't be an issue. Of course that's just a prediction and we'll have to see real world performance.
More battery capacity is always better, but as dpham said, the capacity only tells half the story. The efficiency of the hardware and software tells the other half. You have to know both in order to paint the complete picture.
And hey, as long as it's better than my LG G4 and HTC One M7 (pictured), it's fine with me.

I forgot to mention this.The average battery size of the 2014 Q4, 2015 and 2016 major flagship devices is 3084 mAh. This is 13.5% larger than that.
3500 is ridiculously huge still. I'm glad that many oems are in that ballpark, but 2700-4000 batteries are enormous. The solution to battery life woes is NOT more mAh. It's managing battery life and efficiency better. OEMs need to take up the challenge and give us devices that last 3-4 days or even a week off of 2500 mAh. The tech is out there, there are cost, heat and engineering hurdles and it's time to start knocking them down.
