The latest Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the sixth phone in the series, is set to unveil on the 2nd of August. This information was revealed via a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, who has traditionally been a reliable source for leaks pertaining to Samsung. The tweet goes on to give further insight into the battery life and capacity for the newest Samsung device.

Earlier in the day, Eldar Murtazin, took to twitter to give an insight into the specs for the upcoming Galaxy Note 7. Though the tweet is in Russian, when translated, it goes on to reveal that at full brightness the device will have a 20.5 hours of video playback capability which is a jump from the approximate 14 hours of playback time on the Note 5. The battery that powers the device to such heightened performance, will be of 3600 mAh as opposed to the 4000 mAh that has been speculated thus far.

Note 7 – 20.5 часов видео на максимальной яркости. И никакого аккумулятора на 4000 мАч нет ((( 3600 мАч – пишу текст про флагман )))

Though there is an increase in battery capacity over the predecessor (Note 5 had 3000 mAh), the fact that the battery is of the same size as the smaller screen Galaxy S7 edge, will undoubtedly cause an uproar among the more critical of Samsung. The device will ship with a more efficient chipset and a better battery management software that has been specifically designed for the Android Marshmallow, and together these features should reduce consumption. That being said, until the Note 7 has not been tested to the maxim of its potential.

For now, the speculated spec sheet for the Galaxy Note 7 is as such:

• 5.7-5.8-inch QHD Super AMOLED curved display
• Snapdragon 821 or Exynos 8893 SoC
• 6 GB of RAM with 64/128/256 GB of internal storage with the option of external expandable storage
• 12 MP camera with dual-pixel PDAF and a 5 MP front-facing camera
• 3,600 mAh battery
• Iris scanner
• Grace UX on top of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
