I am fascinated about the con regarding how the battery capacities are being improved for the S8 and S8 plus models. And all based on a false notion.
There are 2 rumours floating around for the battery sizes, so I will assume the larger battery sizes for sake of argument. All the internet articles are falsely saying how battery capacities are increasing compared to the S7 and S7 edge.
The erroneous argument is this: The S8 will be of a similar physical size to the S7 and the battery goes from 3000 to 3250mah. Again, I am assuming the larger rumour capacity. But this is completely wrong. Overall, the capacity is going down. Because even though the physical sizes are similar, the screen sizes are not. And this is what counts in battery drain. The S7 and S8 may be about the same size, but the actual screen goes from 5.1 to 5.8 inches.
That is a big increase in screen size with the battery only slightly increasing. As I say, it doesn't matter if the physical size stays the same. And other rumours are saying the S8 stays at 3000 mah.
It's the same for the S7 edge and S8 plus. Again, all the internet articles are saying how capacity goes up as the 2 phones are about the same size. But the S7 edge has a screen size of 5.5 inches and 3600 mah battery, whist the S8 plus increases the actual screen size considerably to 6.2 inches whilst the battery goes to just 3700 mah. Other rumours say 3500 mah.
What is wrong with all these internet writers? Common sense tells you to compare screen sizes to battery capacities, not the overall physical sizes. If you do this, the coming S8 models are going down in battery capacities.
Which is a bummer.
