Leaked information from various sources alleges the rumored Samsung Galaxy S6 has a downgraded 2550 mAh battery.
This seems to suggest the S6 will be equipped with wireless-charging technology.
Many analysts have criticized the battery life of the Galaxy S, which struggles to reach a full day of use. Thinner models mean a manufacturer has to cut some corners to integrate the major components of the phone. But in this rumored case, it seems Samsung has decided to go with a less powerful battery.
Smartphone users know battery life is critical to their daily use of their smartphones. Battery life is almost a matter of life or death, especially if a user is constantly on the go.
Many analysts suggest a wireless-charging mechanism can help Samsung extend its phone's battery life.
Wireless charging isn't new. Nexus devices already have this feature. Nokia also plans to integrate the technology into newer models of the Windows Phone, according to Forbes.
The principle of wireless charging is relatively simple. The user only needs to put the phone on top of a charging pad. When the handset is in close proximity to the transmitting circuit, it automatically charges by means of magnetic induction.
Integrating a wireless charging mechanism into Samsung devices is an interesting notion as long as the company can convince its users to buy the charging pad.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to be unveiled during on the 2015 Mobile World Congress, according to PC Advisor.
