Samsung’s latest midrange phone has a whopping 7,000mAh battery – The Verge

At EUR360.01, the Galaxy M51 has an extremely similar asking cost to the Galaxy A51 in Germany, but it sounds like it may be the much better choice if you absolutely require every hour of battery life.

Aside from its battery, the Galaxy M51 has a more normal set of specs for a phone of its rate. Its got 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and Samsung says its powered by an “octa-core processor,” which GSMArena notes is believed to be a Snapdragon 730.

At 7,000 mAh, it isnt the greatest phone battery weve ever seen. Last year, for instance, Avenir Telecom displayed an Energizer-branded smart device containing a bulbous 18,000 mAh battery. However its almost unheard of in gadgets from mass-market manufacturers like Samsung, and well be interested to see what impact it has on the general size and weight of the handset when it releases.

Samsung has actually opened up preorders for the Galaxy M51 in Germany, formally validating that its newest midrange phone has an absolutely massive 7,000 mAh battery. It costs EUR360.01 (about $429), and Samsungs site says that it expects the phone to start shipping on September 11th. Theres no sign of preorder pages on Samsungs other local shops right now, however a release in India appears likely considered that Samsung teased the phone there last week.
