Samsung is gearing up to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones in a few months and with the phone’s official launch nearing, more details about the upcoming devices keep surfacing online.

In the latest development, it is reported that Samsung will be procuring Galaxy S22 series batteries from two companies — Samsung ADI and China’s Amperex Technology Limited and both of them will be used in the initial production batch.

It’s noteworthy that Samsung cut ties with Amperex Technology Limited (ATL) in 2017 when its batteries were causing extreme heat for the Galaxy Note7 smartphone, which resulted in the phone firing up.

Samsung started dealing with ATL for the batteries of the Galaxy S21 series that got launched earlier this year. Prior to that, the South Korean firm limited the usage of ATL batteries to only mid-range smartphones in the Galaxy A- and Galaxy M-series.

Apart from smartphones, the batteries manufactured by China’s Amperex Technology Limited are also used in the Galaxy Watch as well as Galaxy Buds.

As per the report, the Chinese company will be providing a 3,800mAh battery for the standard Galaxy S22 smartphone along with 4,500mAh and 5,000mAh batteries for the Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones, respectively.

Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S22 battery with the number EB-BS901ABY (14.35Wh) was spotted during a certification process in Korea. It revealed that the South Korean giant is decreasing the battery capacity on the upcoming S-series models but with the advancement of technology and better optimization, the battery life is expected to remain the same as of current models, if not increased.

If the reports are to be believed, then Samsung is initially planning to manufacture around 20 million units for the entire Galaxy S22 lineup. However, the numbers could increase once the mass production begins or the devices get launched as the company usually produces 25-30 million units in the initial batches.

A few things are known about Samsung‘s next Galaxy S series model – the Galaxy S22, slated for release next year. Some renders of the device have shown that it will be smaller than its predecessor, the Galaxy S21. A new image of the Galaxy S21 battery has now emerged, revealing the S22 will also have a smaller 3700mAh battery capacity than its predecessor.

The image is thought to be an actual battery of the S22 with a rating EB-BS901ABY (14.35 Wh), It was spotted during the certification process in Korea. The lower battery capacity marks a 300 mAh decline from the Galaxy S20 and S21, which both have 4,000 mAh batteries. However, the new battery could offer a longer life than its forerunners with greater optimization and technologies available.

A previous study showed that the endurance rating went up from 71 hours for the Galaxy S20 (in 120 Hz 1080p mode) to 93 hours for the Galaxy S21, even with the same battery capacity for both models. So a similar improvement could mean that the S22 battery life could possibly be better than that of the S21.

The decline also affected the battery of the Galaxy S22+ but the S22 Ultra remains unchanged from its predecessor. The Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra will have 4,500 mAh and 5,000 mAh batteries, respectively. The Galaxy S22 Ultra maintained its capacity, despite having to fit an S Pen inside.

It is expected that the new models will also provide improved fast charging functionality as well.
