The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra is already making headlines in the tech world, with new leaks hinting at a significant battery upgrade that could set a new benchmark for flagship smartphones. Reports suggest that Samsung is testing larger battery options for the device, marking a major shift after several years of consistent 5,000mAh capacity in its Ultra lineup.
If the leaks prove accurate, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could become one of the most powerful battery performers in Samsung’s smartphone history.
Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra May Feature 5,800mAh Battery
According to industry leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra is currently being tested with battery capacities ranging between 5,600mAh and 5,800mAh. This would represent the first major battery jump in the Ultra series since the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Sources suggest that Samsung SDI is developing the new battery cells, while earlier plans for a 5,200mAh unit may have been revised. The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could therefore finally break the long-standing 5,000mAh limit.
Galaxy S27 Ultra Expected to Stick with Lithium-Ion Technology
Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to continue using traditional lithium-ion battery technology instead of switching to newer silicon-carbon alternatives used by some Chinese manufacturers.
Instead of changing chemistry, Samsung appears to be focusing on improving efficiency and increasing capacity within its existing battery framework for the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra.
