It’s also somewhat believable, given that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy S8 Plus both have 3,500mAh batteries, which is a larger size than the 3,300mAh one in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Logically you’d think Samsung would reserve its largest juice packs for the Note range, since they’re its largest flagshi
