Battery capacity Galaxy The S8 with a 5,8-inch display is only 3 mAh, the battery capacity of the larger model, Galaxy S8+, has 500 mAh more. For comparison, last year Galaxy The S7 with a 5,1-inch display hides a 3mAh battery in its guts and a curved Galaxy The S7 edge with a 5,5-inch display has a 3mAh battery.
Just by looking at the specifications, it must be clear to everyone that the endurance of the new "es eights" will not be any glory. On the other hand, the use of new Exynos processors produced by the 10nm process, which are less energy demanding than last year's Exynos produced by 14nm technology, speaks in favor of the news. Unfortunately, the reality is different and the new phones are not saved by any cost-saving measures.
It can be seen from the following table that Galaxy The S8+ leads compared to last year Galaxy S7 edge only when listening to music with the Always On function turned off - this is probably where the manufacturing technology of the processor is most evident - and when surfing the Internet in the 3G network.
In the second table you will learn that smaller Galaxy The S8 is the opposite Galaxy The S7 is again worse, but the difference is no longer as significant as in the case of the pair Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy S7 edge. Galaxy The S8 has the upper hand when listening to music with Always On turned off and when playing videos. In other cases, the situation is the same or slightly worse.
At least the support for fast charging can be a small consolation, when you won't have to worry so much about poorer endurance. Nevertheless, both of this year's novelties would deserve slightly larger batteries due to their enlarged displays, don't you think?
