The Galaxy S22 series won’t launch until the first quarter of 2022 but the leaks are already pouring in a steady stream. The next-gen S series flagships will be coming with some changes, some of which are good, and others that some folks may be displeased about, such as this new info that has surfaced.

Samsung Galaxy S21’s successor expected to have a smaller battery

Lots of folks were pleased when the Galaxy S20 launched with a 4000mAh battery capacity, a significant upgrade from the 3400mAh battery inside its predecessor, the Galaxy S10. The S20 also brought along support for faster charging at 25W. A new leak has revealed Samsung is about to dial back on the battery capacity for the Galaxy S22.

According to the Dutch blog, Galaxy Club, they have found out that the Galaxy S22 will have a rated battery capacity of 3590mAh, a lower figure than the 3880mAh rated capacity of the Galaxy S21.

Seeing as the typical battery capacity of the Galaxy S21 is 4000mAh, the typical battery capacity of the Galaxy S22 is expected to be about 3700mAh.

A smaller battery capacity does sound like bad news but an earlier report disclosed that the base model of the S22 series will have a smaller 6.06-inch display which should have an FHD+ resolution. The Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S21 have a 6.1-inch QHD+ and a 6.2-inch FHD+ display respectively.

The Galaxy S22 Plus will also have a smaller 4500mAh battery as against the Galaxy S21 Plus’ 4800mAh. And as already revealed, the display of the S22 Plus will be smaller, measuring 6.55 inches compared to the S21 Plus’ 6.7-inch display.

In related news, Chinese leaker, Ice Universe, revealed in a tweet that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have support for 45W (10V 4.5A) fast charging. This should be good news for fans of the Ultra model considering Samsung had launched the Galaxy S21 Ultra with support for 25W fast charging instead of 45W charging support as available on the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra will retain the 6.8-inch display size of the S21 Ultra as well as its 45W battery capacity when it arrives next year.
