A 2600mAh battery is 23.8% larger than a 2100mAh battery. Not sure where your math came from but a ~25% larger battery is a significant increase.

2600mah won't be that great on battery. They should of went 3000mah or above like the note 2.
No it won't. The screen got bigger and Samsung added gimmick features that drain the battery even more. It is going to have worse battery life.
The increase in size won't improve battery life. The screen got bigger and the new gimmick features drain battery.

Hmm good thing they are forcing us to use those gimmicky features with no possible way of turning them off
and going from 4.8" to 4.99" oOoOoOo Big deal...The screen is rumored to have 25 percent more energy efficiency and gimmicky features can be turned off (and often are). A lot of people on this site run special apps or mods to save battery life. A bigger battery will make a difference.
Battery life depends on the person using the device as much as it does the battery itself.
This is from me, on my EVO 3D.

Some of you seem to forget that in order to make the battery larger, they would have to make the phone larger as well. The size of the battery is proportional to the battery's capacity. You want a larger battery? The phone will either have to be thicker/wider/taller. I guarantee they are putting as big of a battery as possible without sacrificing the form factor.
Some people will never be happy though.
When people talk about battery life they mean it in the same way a person talks about gas mileage. It's a rating under specific conditions to give you a guide as to what you could expect but not an absolute.

The octa is a gimmick feature and it isn't clear how much more drain it will cause

That was one of the rumors. If its any form of amoled it is going to have horrible power consumption.

No I'm not kidding. The octa will not decrease battery drain in the slightest, and will likely increase it.

It would be a huge fail if Samsung couldn't get it to consume less power, since that's kinda the big thing about it.

Don't underestimate the ability of Samsung to screw up something like that in an effort to be 'first'.
I guess they could just go Apple's route and slightly improve features about 3-4 years after they come out.

Yeah, I get what your saying - no telling how it was cracked but it's all good - I'm still going to get it.

So, the leak was accurate. And the back cracked. Not a good thing to have leak the day before the announcement.
Wonder if they improved the quality of the plastic for the production version.
I'm going to wait for the Note 3. The S4 is great but what's up with this S-Translate. Google Now has all that built in along with the own Translation app.
I feel allot of this new software to be kinda on the gimmick side of things.
I was kinda thinking they would move away from the design they have been using since the first Galaxy S. But I'm happy they didn't. I love the home button and the overall look.
The thing that I'm really starting to notice as I browse through the software features is that most of this stuff is built in to 4.2.2 but Samsung calls it there own. Which is fine by me. This also means that the S3 and Note 2 will be getting all of this when we get our 4.2.2 update. The only thing the S3 isn't going to have is air view because it's a Note 2 and S4 hardware thing.
I don't think I would upgrade from the S3 to the S4. In fact I would go for the Note 2, only because bigger really is better, the screen on the Note 2 is RGB. I'm kinda even thinking of waiting for the Note 4 but then again the Note 3 with a 5.9" screen at 1080p sounds great as long as it's RGB.
