As per Quandt, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will come with a 3,000mAh battery which is same as the Galaxy S8. Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ will come with a 3,500mAh battery just like the S8+.

How will be the battery life?
Many people would think that same battery capacity will lead to similar battery life. In this case, the battery life can differ from the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are expected to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 which is more power efficient. Similarly, the new Exynos 9810 chipset will also have some optimisations over the last generation. Additionally, the smartphone will come with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box which also has some battery optimisations. However, we will have to wait for the devices to officially launch in order to know their battery life.
Samsung is deciding to go with the same battery capacities. This decision might be because Samsung is not willing to take any risk, especially after the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco.
