Samsung Galaxy Note 7 tipped to be getting a 3,500mAh battery

Here’s more Samsung Galaxy Note 7 news for you. It looks like the phablet’s battery will be somewhere in between of the Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge, if a recent leak is to be believed. South Korea Telecom accidentally leaked a baseline variant of the Galaxy Note 7 with the model number SM-N930S showing what its battery capacity is. At 3,500mAh, it does lean more towards the S7 edge with just 100mAh less capacity, while the S7 comes built with a 3,000mAh battery.

Some of the other details have been leaked before including putting in an iris scanner (which Samsung has confirmed), a curved display, 4GB of RAM, a 64GB internal storage that’s expandable to 25GB via microSD.
