As if the prospect of the Galaxy S26 Ultra sticking with 5,000 mAh batteries for another year was disappointing enough, those batteries may not even be as good as they were previously. YTECHB has shared what appears to be leaked EU battery labels, and with those come estimated battery endurance figures. It's... not looking good for the Galaxy S26 series.
Those labels suggest this year's batteries have been rated for 1,200 charge cycles. After that point, the battery health is estimated to be around 80% of what you'd get straight out of the box. For reference, the Galaxy S25 series was rated for 2,000 cycles. So this is quite a dip.
