Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus battery confirmed?
July 09, 2025
Another day, another leak and the latest could answer one question that a lot of people seem to have about Samsung’s upcomingGalaxy Note 5andGalaxy S6 Edge Plussmartphones: just how big is that battery going to be?
A leak from perennial tipsterEvan Blass (aka @evleaks)has revealed both of Samsung’s upcoming smartphones will be powered by a 3000mAh battery, which is 450mAh larger than theGalaxy S6and 400mAh larger than theGalaxy S6 Edge. Naturally, all leaks have a habit of being met with a degree of skepticism but Blass definitely has a history of being accurate and one of the tweeted replies seems to corroborate that the battery is 3000mAh on Samsung’s upcoming devices.
By way of comparison, if accurate, these batteries are smaller than the 3220mAh removable battery on theGalaxy Note 4andSamsungsays the14nm manufacturing processwith itsExynos processorsdelivers better battery life than previous processors. However, the lack of removable battery is expected to be one feature that will disappoint loyal Galaxy Note users, given theNote 5will be the first in the range to feature a non-removable battery and back cover.
Aside from the battery, we’ve already heard what the rest of the specs are expected to be; based on aGalaxy S6 Edge Plus specs leak yesterdayand given the two handsets should be almost identical, we expect both to have a 5.67-inchSuper AMOLEDQuad HD display, be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos processor and have 4GB RAM.

Other notable specs include a plethora of connectivity options (including dual wireless charging and quick charging like theGalaxy S6andS6 Edge), a slimmed down optimisedTouchWizinterface, a heart rate sensor and a fingerprint sensor built into the home button beneath the display.
Both handsets should sport the metal and glass design from this year’s Galaxy S flagships, with a metal frame flanked by glass front and rear panels. The key difference between the two devices is that the Galaxy Note 5 will have a standard display with anS-Penwhile the Galaxy S6 Edge will have a dual-curved display but will drop the S-Pen feature.
