Samsung Galaxy S10+ rumored to have a larger battery than first expected

As we get closer and closer to the February 20th date for the next Samsung Unpacked event, more and more information about the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ is leaking. Just earlier today, screenshots hinted that the Galaxy S10 will support blockchain storage and include a secure wallet for certain cryptocurrencies. Now, tipster Ice Universe says via a tweet, that he has new information on the battery capacity and thickness of the Galaxy S10+.

According to this new leak, we can expect a 4100mAh battery to power the Samsung Galaxy S10+. This is up slightly from the 4000mAh figure posted by Ice Universe in a previous leak. If the battery in the Galaxy S10+ turns out to carry a capacity of 4100mAh, it will be a 17% increase over the 3500mAh battery that keeps the Galaxy S9+ running.

Ice Universe also notes that according to his information, the Galaxy S10+ will measure 7.8mm thin. This matches the figure he mentioned in a prior tweet. If true, the reduction in girth would be 8.2% from the 8.5mm thickness for the Galaxy S9+.
