Is there a high-capacity battery available for the Note 8 SM-N950U?

Is there a high-capacity battery available for the Note 8 SM-N950U, something more in the 4000 mAh range like the Note 9? I'm not talking about the corny things that snap on the back and then recharge your battery, I'm talking about one that is the same size as the original, or a one that piggy backs onto the phone and augments the battery capacity of the original, not a power brick you charge from.
PS: I mean a real one, not a vendor that lies about the capacity.

Thanks!

The obvious answer in this case would be: H377 NO!!!
Is Samsung can't do it, no one else can.

I highly doubt you'll be able to find anything like that, sorry to say.

I was afraid of that because the Note 8 is isn't that old. I've seen the 18650 Li-Ions go from 2100 to 3600 so I was hoping to find something for the Note 8, or at least a case with a pretty flat battery that could add to its capacity. The only thing I see are the ones that charge the phone battery from the case battery.

Thanks for your feedback.

The original Samsung Note 4 battery was 3220 mAh. The typical replacement battery these days is 3600 mAh, so an original 3300 mAh Note 8 now having one that is 3700 mAh wouldn't be too crazy.

I once put an 8000 Mah battery into a Note 3. Jumped from 3200 to 8000, back in the days of removable battery. I think, you could do it. The problem being is that it'd be difficult to find a battery of a higher mah.

...for the same physical dimensions...
We are just trying to save the OP, the time and energy to find something that Samsung already perfected (for those physical dimensions). Anything else is an explosive Note 7 (all over again).

The OP's question is basically asking: "how to fit a truck battery in our Note 8, just to get a few more mAh". Apple, Samsung, and other manufacturers, finally got the formula right in my opinion. My phone lasts 2 days if I'm not gaming on my phone constantly

To make a jump like that normally means a larger back cover with removable batteries. That would work up through the Note 4. For the Note 8 or 9, it would require a new back cover. I could make one easily enough from plastic, but I don't know how it would affect the strength integrity of the phone because I'm half guessing that a good amount of its strength comes from the back cover. The only thing they make for them is a thicker case with a piggy-back battery for charging the main battery and no fast charging.
