The Samsung Galaxy S20 series phones are nearly 7 months old now. Nevertheless, leaks about their possible successors have already emerged. One of them concern 2 new batteries from their OEM freshly approved for use by the Chinese regulator 3C and now tipped as meant for an S21 variant apiece.

Various leaks have brought up the prospect of a Samsung Galaxy S21 series, even though their predecessors are not even through their product cycle yet. The latest rumor hints at battery sizes for 2 variants, which may be called the S21 and S21+ (or Plus) on their own launch.

It comes in the form of alleged new submissions from Samsung to the regulator 3C for 2 new smartphone components called EB-BG991ABY and EB-BG996ABY. Going by this OEM's usual naming convention, these are likely batteries for 2 phones called the SM-G991 and SM-G996 respectively.

Accordingly, these may be upcoming flagship devices - with 5G, no less, as the S20 and S20+ 5G are the SM-G981x and SM-G986x respectively. Then again, should this be the case, their batteries may be underwhelming for this category.

3C rates them at 3880mAh for the "S21" and 4660mAh for the "S21+", which is no great change compared to their putative forebears. Then again, this may be their rated capacities, and may be magnified somewhat in their official typical specs.
