The more we use our smartphones, the more important battery life becomes. With the Galaxy S5, Samsung is doing everything it can to keep you away from the charger, with longer battery life and faster charging.
According to tipsters on PhoneArena, the Galaxy S5 is set to get a 2,900mAh battery, up from the 2,600mAh battery of the Galaxy S4. This sounds like a decent hike, but there are some variables that could affect things. For starters, if the S5 has a larger 2K display, the extra battery power may just go into running that. However, a new CPU is likely to be more efficient than the old model, so there could be some power savings there, meaning more battery life. Ultimately, given everything a slightly larger battery should mean more slightly more battery life, but we're going to have to wait for the final phone to know for certain.
The same tipsters are reporting that the new battery can hold 20 per cent more charge by volume. In other words, a smaller battery can hold more charge. This may mean that the new battery is about the same size as the old one, despite its higher capacity. More exciting, in our opinion, is the news that the Galaxy S5's battery is said to have rapid charging technology in it. This would allow the battery to be fully charged in just under two hours. So, even if the new battery doesn't last that much longer than the old one, you won't have to wait long for it to be recharged. With the Galaxy S5 due to come out in a matter of weeks, we're not going to have to wait long to find out how good the new battery really is.
