Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will both feature 3,000mAh batteries according to leak

There isn’t long to go until August 13th, the day that Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy Note 5, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and possibly another (as yet) unknown device at its Unpacked event. There’s been a steady stream of leaks in the last few weeks about both devices, and today’s leak is about battery capacity.

Thanks to @evleaks, who is seemingly intent on regaining his crown in the leaks business, we now know that both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will both sport 3,000mAh batteries. Fans of the Note series of smartphones will probably be disappointed that the battery has been whittled down to just 3,000mAh, 240mAh lower than what last year’s Note 4 offered. The smaller battery, coupled with the lack of MicroSD card support, could be the last straw that drives long-time fans of the Note series away from the Note 5. Time will tell, and we don’t have long to wait to find out. What do you think about the Note 5 only having a 3,000mAh battery? Will the more energy-efficient processor make up the difference?

Fans of the original Galaxy S6 Edge wanting a larger screen and a bigger battery will be happy to see a 3,000mAh battery in the S6 Edge Plus. Is it a big enough upgrade though from the 2,600mAh battery seen in the original, though? And will you also purchase the rumoured physical keyboard accessory?

As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
