No, consider the S7 Edge is older, it's battery life has probably degraded the 20% as mentioned by Samsung elsewhere... so you're basically comparing a fresh 3000 mah battery vs a degraded battery probably at same level now. Also pretty much shows it's still using QC 2.0 like the S7 Edge is.

Bad engineering on Samsung's part. You can put a bigger battery in a phone if you design it right.

It's a shame that Samsung, the clear leader in smartphone design, could not just "design it right" and magically put more battery into a tight device.

Good design and good engineering are two different things.
You can design a phone that looks but not good engineering if it explodes.

You also can't have it both ways. Go from an exploding battery to once again pushing battery tech in your very next device. That to me would be bad engineering. I'm hoping for better optimization and use of the battery we have. I'm also hoping for a better battery that doesn't degrade as fast and can withstand more abuse. To me there is more to it than just slapping a large battery in a phone and thinking that solves everything.
Early tests are promising.

Sure you can... you can design the most beautiful phone... and you can design in a bigger battery... if you accept engineering limits and accept the phone will have to be a little thicker to handle the bigger battery.
With the Note 7, from the info gathered, they designed the phone and went to the battery guys and said, "Make a 3500 mah battery fit in that spot!" No concession on design. If they made the phone a mm thicker could have been the difference in making sure the battery didnt pinch or give just enough expansion.
The S8 feels really nice in hand... the S8 Plus feels nice in hand. Would a mm or even two thicker ruin the phone? Ruin the design of the phone? I don't think so.

This phone was designed within an inch of its life after the Note 7 disaster. So the goal here was to design a safe phone that also doesn't skimp too much on specs. So I disagree, I think safety is first and foremost over trying to satisfy nerds on a forum by squeezing in a battery that may compromise their goals.
Let's do this the right way this time. Release safe products that rebuild trust with their customers, and gradually push the limits as it is okay to safely do so.

Not only is the an 8 point safety chack in place, but this article proves my point. Samsung could have gone with a larger battery for the S8+, but played it safe with the exact same size as the Note 7.
Safety first.
