Samsung revealed the Galaxy S21 series in February this year. The company moved on with the release of the Galaxy Note 20 series in August, and Galaxy Z Flip 2 in September along with the Galaxy S20 FE. Well, we can say that the company is done with its flagship plans in 2020. Now, the company is moving on to the next big thing that will come in the Galaxy S21 series. Based on the amount of info popping out about the upcoming devices, they might be released earlier than expected.
Yesterday, the Galaxy S21 Ultra variant
has made a visit to the 3C Certification database. It reveals a 4,855mAh
battery and this is the same capacity reported on previous leaks and rumors. In
fact, Samsung may even rate this battery with a typical 5,000mAh capacity. The
model number in the certification is “EB-BG998ABY”. The battery brings the
“G998” number which points us to the high-end Galaxy S21 Ultra model.
According to the report, Samsung Galaxy
S21 Ultra’s battery is a secondary Li-On battery. The 3C certification usually
consists of two different applicants and manufacturers. “Samsung SDI Company
Limited” and “Ningde Amperex Technology Limited” appeared in this case. The
manufacturer “Ningde Amperex” has already applied for Galaxy S21 and S21+
batteries too.
Besides the S21 Ultra, the vanilla variant
visited 3C certification with the EB-BG991ABY model number (SM-G991). The Plus
variant sports the EB-BG996ABY (SM-G996) model number and also passed through
the Chinese regulatory agency. According to the listing, the Galaxy S21 packs a
rather modest 3,880mAh battery. The S21+, in counterpart, has a capable battery
with a 4,660mAh battery. We’re not very happy with the battery capacity of the
S21. Maybe, the typical capacity will come as 4,000mAh. Of course, the newer
5nm chipsets are set to provide a new level of energy efficiency. But in the end,
it’s better to have a big battery with an efficient processor than being
stagnated.
We advert you to take these reports with a
pinch or two of salt. After all, we still have several months to go before the
official release of the Galaxy S21 series. Not even the names are really
official right now, as Samsung could even jump ten houses and name them Galaxy
S30.
