Let's hope that Samsung's improved testing procedures are what the Note7 was missing, because this design looks about the same to us.

And it's still a bear to pry it off that adhesive. Even with the battery fully removed, the glue won't let go.

The S8+ features a 13.48 Wh (3500 mAh at 3.85 V) battery—the exact same capacity as the Note7, and a little less than the S7 Edge's 13.86 Wh.

Samsung continues to beat Apple in the battery capacity wars, with the iPhone 7+ weighing in at 11.1 Wh (2900 mAh at 3.82 V).

However, the iPhone may make better use of its smaller battery, outlasting the S8+ in use testing.
