I have a Samsung Galaxy SII (Model T989). How can this battery make the phone 'thicker.? Will this battery fit my phone?

Yes the battery will fit your phone.Because it's a longer lasting battery it's thicker than the battery you're SII came with.it comes with a different back cover to cover the thicker battery.

The battery is thicker than the standard battery and thus the phone with the new rear cover makes the phone thicker. I actually find that the phone is easier to grip and handle with the extended life battery. This battery will fit the Galaxy S2, and I think you will be amazed at how much additional life the battery yields.

It is about twice as thick as the standard battery, and comes with a new plastic back piece for the phone to accommodate the thicker battery. (As shown in the image.)

Hi Elizabeth, it makes your phone thicker because it's actually as thick as 2 batteries put together. Yes it will fit perfectly. I have had it for a couple months now and am very happy. Example of how long it last, I have been up since 8am and have been streaming music all day. Plus at same time on FBI, and reading from Kindle. It is now 3pm as I am typing and I still have 62% battery life.

The battery is about 2x thicker than the original battery. That is why they send the new back cover with the purchase of this battery. The original back cover will no longer cover the thickness of the battery. HOWEVER, if you like the phone at all, you will LOVE the additional time the battery gives you. There have been times when I've not used my phone heavily, and been able to go two full days & nights with out recharging. There were times with the original battery that I had trouble making it to the end of the first day... They should have provided a battery of this strenght from the start! I love mine!

I didn't notice that is was thicker.The part i got last september is still working.It was an outdated spare nr 580029-001 no longer supplied by HP.The capacity was only 4910 mAh instead of "High Performance 5200mah".

Yes. You take off the back of the Galaxy S4, take out the battery, and put this new battery in it's place: As the picture shows, ANKER sends you the battery AND the "new thicker back case" to enclose it. It does add thickness and some weight to the phone, but I find that to be a VERY small inconvenience when compared to the time spent NOT charging this your device with this battery. With lite to moderate use? I can go easily 3 days before turning off the phone and charging it. I HAVE NEVER RUN OUT OF BATTERY. The "trick to this battery" is to fully charge it then let it get down to about 5-10% charge. Turn it off and charge it completely. After 3-4 times of the complete discharge/recharge cycle? This battery will amaze you with it's longevity between charges. So it makes the phone thicker and a bit bulkier: I'd rather have that than the possibility of running out of juice while on a conference call........Give that some serious thought......... I HIGHLY recommend this battery for the S4, and wise that you chose a phone that you CAN swap out the battery for a higher mAh power rating on it. I also highly recommend the TPU (semi rigid/soft silicon) case from Hyperion: Hyperion Samsung Galaxy S4 Extended Battery HoneyComb Matte TPU Case / Cover **Hyperion Retail Packaging**

I can't say i'm 100% positive, but I'm thinking no. I had an SII and I think it's a different battery than the SIV

I'll qualify my response by saying that the phone I use it on is from Sprint. But it works very well, and I believe it would or should work fine on yours. Our phone is a Samsung galaxy SIII as well. We now normally get up to four days of light usage on one charge. Compared to about 6-8 hours with the factory battery (if that). This new battery has a good case that is needed to contain the large size, and a standard case will no longer fit. If you need a belt clip you will have to search for solutions but for a pocket or purse, this works great. This takes the only negative with the S3 (battery life) and turns it into a valuable tool.

I bet it won't fit. If I were you I would buy the regular sized battery since it for sure will fit and lasts as long as the bigger battery in my phone. My extra large battery did not see any gains in the amount of battery life.

It's a tiny bit thicker than the stock battery but it does fit and you can still close the phone and use a case if you have one.

This battery is twice the thickness of a standard battery. It won't fit any case that isn't designed for an extended battery.

Go to hyperion's main site and see if they have one for your phone as this battery is an extended battery and they provide a new backcover specifically for the phone they advertise it for so if this back cover doesnt fit your phone then you wont have anything to hold the battery in place check in they site to see if they have ur phone

It's a little over 2 times thicker. It's heavy and bulky but you get use to it and with how great the battery is who cares people make fun of people with samsung galaxy note phones size all the time so making it thicker really won't make a big difference.

As it turned out, the phone still did not work after changing the battery. We checked it in another phone and there is nothing wrong with the battery so the phone is no good. I don't know if the battery will fit your phone. We bought another battery before this purchase and although the description said it would work, it did not.

It fits the SIII but in my experience, too slow to charge and never fully charged my three SIIIs. I returned mine.

Yes. The battery comes with a new back plate to accommodate the thicker battery. The phone will be less sleek. It was a good tradeoff for me. The update I can provide is that the battery longevity is already on the decline so this is a little disappointing. Still, it is getting me through the better part of the day and if I get an additional charge during car rides, I get through the day. I will be more selective on my next phone acquustion to be sure the battery life hasbeen well engineered!

I am not completely sure. My phone had other issues but I remember the battery was much thicker and that is why it came with cover to hold it. You my not like it. It was about 2 to 3 times thicker than a normal battery.

No, this battery will not fit your phone model. You have to match your original battery model in order to purchase the correct product. If you wish we can help you, please provide me the original model of your battery.
