In view of ever-increasing displays, smartphone owners are increasingly concerned with battery capacity. This is because it is extremely important for the "operation" of a large touch panel, and if it is not large enough, the phone is much more difficult to use due to frequent charging. After all, this question was solved by Samsunugu customers even before the arrival of the phone Galaxy S8, and S8+, which have Infinity displays. In the end, however, the fears were unfounded, as Samsung managed to bring the phone to near perfection and significantly improved battery consumption with optimized software and the fast cable charging function.
Yesterday, however, Samsung presented another very interesting phone, the battery of which was hotly debated. Of course, we are talking about nothing else than the new Note 8. It certainly does not have to be ashamed of its display size, but with a battery capacity of 3300 mAh, it is already a little worse, at least on paper. The South Koreans decided to take this step mainly because of the location of the new S Pen and mainly because of the failure from last year. The large batteries combined with the lack of space caused a literally explosive experience for the Note 7 models.

However, Samsung tries to dispel any concerns related to battery life with all kinds of claims and graphs. For example, he has now published a very interesting table that proves that the Note 8 will not have much worse battery life than the S8 and S8+ models. The difference in most measured values is roughly two hours. However, it should be noted that these numbers are still indicative. Only the future will show whether they can be relied on. However, if the data were indeed confirmed, most users would probably be happy. The battery of the S8+ lasts really well, even if the battery life is two hours less, it would be more than enough.
| Galaxy S8 + | Galaxy Notes 8 | |
| MP3 playback (AOD enabled) | up to 50 hours | up to 47 hours |
| MP3 playback (AOD disabled) | up to 78 hours | up to 74 hours |
| Video playback | up to 18 hours | up to 16 hours |
| Talk time | up to 24 hours | up to 22 hours |
| Using the Internet (Wi-Fi) | up to 15 hours | up to 14 hours |
| Internet usage (3G) | up to 13 hours | up to 12 hours |
| Internet usage (LTE) | up to 15 hours | up to 13 hours |
The values you can see above are not bad at all, don't you think? Hopefully, long-term use of the phone will confirm these numbers and Samsung will finally relax with the Note model after last year's fiasco.
