I knew either you or playbook fanatic were gonna say that lol. Well he supposedly has the phone in hand so that's not really a rumor. He didn't specifically say what it has though. Did confirm it's not 4000mah though. Said it would have been an instant buy if it had 4k. Oh well, that's what I really wanted to know. 3500 and 3600 is a negligible difference.
The Galaxy Note7 may feature a 3500mAh battery

Most definitely do not like a sealed in battery. For me it has never been an issue but if it was I simply would get another phone that fits my needs. It is pretty obvious that Samsung has let that ship sail. They brought SD card back but that is a minor tweak versus changing an entire design to allow removable batteries again.
Like the whining going on right now? They whine about the same thing, daily. It'll only get worse next week. LOL
You're choosing to believe someone who has an unbeknownst track record. It's cool. Meanwhile, I'm just gonna wait. LOL

I'm curious about people's experience with sealed batteries. What about the supposedly cure all advice to "pull the battery"? Realistically, how long can any battery perform? I went through several batteries on my Note 3. Still, I couldn't say that a new battery made much difference. What made a clear difference was having to perform a factory reset.

I guess that can drive them away, yeah. However, I feel maybe with Samsung it can be a "it's good when they do it situation" since Samsung doing non removable backs has increased their sales by going against one of their better features, maybe some kind of cycle could have in a couple of generations, but either way, I'm hoping battery technology gets better sealed or not.
For me, I just can't do with LG'S power button placement, maybe they should change that next time.

Instead of pulling a battery you can do a soft reset .
I've had smart phones since the beginning smartphones and I've never had to replace a battery. I have replaced batteries in the old flip phones.
Pulling the battery isn't a cure all, it can wreak havoc on the phone and battery. Removable batteries became largely irrelevant when battery life stopped sucking in 2013. There are still some users who have extreme use cases that removable batteries would help, but external batteries would actually help those folks more - were they not adverse to plugging in versus hot swapping.
My battery life is far worse with the Samsung Note 5 than it was with the LG G2. I get 4.5 hour screen-on time with the Note 5 and got 7.5 hours screen-on time with the LG G2. I'd kill to have the G2's battery life with my Note 5. I remember charging my G2, going to work, leaving 6 hours later and my phone was still at 100%. That would never happen with my Note 5. A removeable battery in the Note 7 would have been a really big selling point for me. If I do a day trip to Portland, my phone will die at some point during the trip. The battery simply doesn't last long enough.
I've been following him for years. The battery won't be 4000mah. I'd bet money on it. You can wait and find that out on Aug 2nd though lol. The rumors already pointed to the fact it wouldn't have that anyway.

I know about a soft reset. But whenever I called VZW with a problem, pulling the battery has been a mandatory step in the tech's routine.

On most phones, holding down the power button for several seconds simulates a battery pull.

Those are just straight up bad techs giving bad advice. On old Windows a reboot used to be the go to fix every weird bug. Seems like some of that mentality bled into Android where it doesn't belong.

After watching this battery test video by Samsung with the S7 and S7 Edge battery against other Top tier phones like Huawei P9, Apple iPhone 6s, HTC 10, Sony Xperia X and the LG G5. I think that the Note 7 will be fine with the battery life.

Nice, but I would keep in mind that this video was published by Samsung. There might be other comparisons out there not quite as flattering. Still, nice to see. Thanks.
I see no facts here still, just rumors that one picked to believe. Tuesday is not even 48 hours away.
You'll see tomorrow, my friend. The specs have leaked out nearly everywhere now.
