- Galaxy S27 Pro will carry a 5,200mAh battery and the Ultra a 5,700mAh cell, made possible by the silicon-carbon technology Samsung just debuted in the Z Fold 8.
- The new Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to carry a rated battery capacity of 5,087mAh, advertised as approximately 5,200mAh.
- The S27 Ultra goes further with a rated 5,534mAh, expected to be advertised at around 5,700-5,800mAh.
- Galaxy Club notes both figures indirectly confirm silicon-carbon technology will power both devices.
- Samsung's 1,200 cycles drop sounds bad until you compare it to Apple. Apple's official documentation for the iPhone 15 and later states that the battery is designed to retain 80% of its original capacity at 1,000 complete charge cycles under ideal conditions.
Samsung's Galaxy S27 series is poised for a significant upgrade in battery technology, with the Pro model featuring a 5,200mAh battery and the Ultra model equipped with a 5,700mAh cell. This advancement is made possible through the use of silicon-carbon technology, recently introduced in the Z Fold 8.124
According to reports from Galaxy Club and Lanzuk, the S27 Pro's battery is expected to have a rated capacity of 5,087mAh, marketed as approximately 5,200mAh. Meanwhile, the S27 Ultra is anticipated to have a rated capacity of 5,534mAh, with advertising likely to state it as around 5,700-5,800mAh.3
The introduction of silicon-carbon technology is expected to enhance battery performance and longevity, as noted by Galaxy Club. This technology allows for a more efficient energy storage solution, which could lead to improved battery life for users.
In comparison, Samsung's battery cycle performance is noteworthy; while the company reports a drop to 80% capacity after 1,200 cycles, Apple's iPhone 15 documentation states a similar retention at 1,000 cycles under ideal conditions, highlighting the competitive landscape in smartphone battery technology.5
“The Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to carry a rated battery capacity of 5,087mAh, advertised as approximately 5,200mAh, while the S27 Ultra is set to have a rated 5,534mAh, expected to be advertised at around 5,700-5,800mAh. Additionally, Samsung's battery technology aims to outperform Apple's iPhone 15, which retains 80% capacity after 1,000 charge cycles.”
