14 DAY TRIAL // The Samsung Galaxy S6 is one of the most talked-about products we are avidly awaiting to see in the upcoming months.
We wrote about it extensively, and there’s no denying that the upcoming flagship might be the answer to the prayers of a lot of Samsung fans.
One notable change Samsung will bring about with its newest flagship is offering a unibody case which no longer provides access to the device’s battery. So according to talk online, the Galaxy S6 will be the first in the S series to arrive with a non-removable battery.
How long will the Galaxy S6 last?
Which naturally raises concerns about the upcoming phone’s battery life. Will it be enough to satisfy even the most demanding users’ needs?
Some of you might have been hoping good old Sammy will slip a chunky battery under the hood. Sadly, as G for Games points out, this won’t probably be the case.
According to the information provided by a Korean publication, the Galaxy S6 will end up having a battery module smaller than the current Galaxy S5. If the tidbit turns out to be accurate, the Galaxy S6 will live off a 2,600 mAh battery (the previous model had 200 mAh extra).
Before you sigh in frustration, consider the following. Samsung will use the Exynos 7420 SoC to power the guts of the Galaxy S6 which, unlike what the competition is offering, is based on a 14nm process compared to 20nm technology.
So in theory, power consumption will be diminished by 30% to 35%, so overall the Galaxy S6’s battery cycle shouldn't be affected too tragically.
Also in related news, it has been whispered that the Galaxy S6 will come with built-in wireless in order to compensate for the lack of non-removable battery on board.
Naturally, you should take the information about the Galaxy S6 having a 2,600 mAh battery inside with a big grain of salt and wait until MWC 2015 to see if this turns out to be the case or not.
The most recent arrival in the rumor mill claims that Samsung will be swiping out its own proprietary apps from the Galaxy S6 and will replace them with Microsoft productivity apps. Good news or bad news? You tell us.
