Samsung’s next Galaxy phones may last much longer.

What happened
New battery certifications in China and South Korea point to bigger batteries for the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra, expected early next year. The Ultra could get about 14 percent more battery than this year’s model, and even the Pro would beat it.
Why it matters
Samsung’s Ultra phones have used the same size battery for about seven years, while rivals kept growing. A bigger battery usually means more hours between charges. Charging speed reportedly stays the same, at 60 watts.
OTN take
Our take: this comes from certification papers, not from Samsung, and test batteries can still change. If battery life matters most to you, it may be worth waiting for the S27.
