A few things are known about Samsung‘s next Galaxy S series model – the Galaxy S22, slated for release next year. Some renders of the device have shown that it will be smaller than its predecessor, the Galaxy S21. A new image of the Galaxy S21 battery has now emerged, revealing the S22 will also have a smaller 3700mAh battery capacity than its predecessor.
The image is thought to be an actual battery of the S22 with a rating EB-BS901ABY (14.35 Wh), It was spotted during the certification process in Korea. The lower battery capacity marks a 300 mAh decline from the Galaxy S20 and S21, which both have 4,000 mAh batteries. However, the new battery could offer a longer life than its forerunners with greater optimization and technologies available.
A previous study showed that the endurance rating went up from 71 hours for the Galaxy S20 (in 120 Hz 1080p mode) to 93 hours for the Galaxy S21, even with the same battery capacity for both models. So a similar improvement could mean that the S22 battery life could possibly be better than that of the S21.

The decline also affected the battery of the Galaxy S22+ but the S22 Ultra remains unchanged from its predecessor. The Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra will have 4,500 mAh and 5,000 mAh batteries, respectively. The Galaxy S22 Ultra maintained its capacity, despite having to fit an S Pen inside.
It is expected that the new models will also provide improved fast charging functionality as well.
