As spotted by the folks over at GalaxyClub, the battery that’s destined to make its way inside the Galaxy S11+ was recently certified by South Korea’s SafetyKorea certification agency under the model number EB-BG988ABY. A photo of the battery is attached to the listing and, to our delight, it reveals the capacity – an incredibly 5,000mAh. 

This number means the Samsung Galaxy S11+ is going to include the highest battery capacity ever included in a premium Galaxy-branded phone. That title is currently held by the Galaxy S10 5G, which features a huge 4,500mAh cell, although the Galaxy Note 10+ and Galaxy S10+ don’t fall far behind with 4,300mAh and 4,100mAh cells respectively. 

To further put the advancement into perspective, just two years ago the Galaxy S9+ debuted with a tiny 3,500mAh battery which was considered decent at the time. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact Samsung has only produced four phones with equivalent or larger battery capacities in its history.

Although yet to be confirmed, the massive battery destined for the Galaxy S11+ is probably going to support Samsung’s 45W fast charging technology. Additionally, support for fast wireless charging is to be expected alongside reverse wireless charging, a feature that’ll let you charge your Galaxy Buds by placing them on the back of the phone.
