Samsung has learned from its past mistakes and now hopes to redeem itself in the eyes of fans with this year’s flagship, the Galaxy S7.

One of the downsides of Galaxy S6, the rather small capacity and non-removable battery, is likely to be partially addressed in the next Galaxy S smartphone.

According to the latest rumors, Samsung will add a 3,000 mAh battery inside the Galaxy S7 and much larger 3,600 mAh battery for the Galaxy S7 edge.

While the information hasn't been confirmed by the South Korean company yet, we have proof that the Galaxy S7 edge will be powered by a 3,600 mAh battery.

Both Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have been recently certified at FCC (Federal Communications Commission), but the list of documents filed with the regulatory commission for the larger model includes a very special screenshot.

The Galaxy S7 edge screenshot shows the battery information such as status, level, FCC certification, and capacity. It turns out the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge will indeed pack a 3,600 mAh battery, which is said to feature fast charging technology.

A 3,000 mAh battery for Galaxy S7?

Unfortunately, Samsung Galaxy S7 documents filed at FCC do not include such a screenshot, so we are not able to confirm whether or not the smartphone will come with a 3,000 mAh.

One other thing that Samsung fans might be interested in is the fact that neither smartphone will come with removable batteries.

Due to the glass-coated design, Samsung has decided not to include removable batteries inside the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, but rumor has it that users will be able to replace them at authorized services.

There's also the matter of microSD card, but Samsung seems to have solved it as well by including hybrid dual-SIM support, which will allow users to choose between adding an SD memory card or a second SIM.

So, there are a lot of changes that Samsung plans for the Galaxy S7, as many features not included in the previous flagship will make a comeback. But let's see what innovations the smartphone will introduce to us (if any).
