Does the 42mm cellular S3 have bigger battery vs GPS only?

I don’t have any interest in using the cellular feature, but I can get a 42mm silver aluminium cellular model discounted at £359in the UK.

I would prefer Space Grey, but it’s going to have a slim case on anyway so I don’t think it really matters.

Considering the cellular version has a ceramic back vs composite on the GPS only model that seems to be a bonus.

I’m wondering if the cellular version possibly has a bigger battery vs GPS only?
If I use it with cellular disabled it shouldn’t matter if battery is the same as GPS only, but if it is bigger, that’s a double bonus!

The battery is the same on both LTE and non-LTE.

Actually I just found this tear down video which states this:

Non LTE 1.0Whr
LTE 1.07Whr

At 3minutes 8 seconds

The battery might be slightly larger on the LTE model, but they both are rated at 18 hours for the 38 and 42 mm. Apple is likely being rather conservative with those numbers depending usage.

I stand corrected

Also on the Cellular model, you get double the memory of the base Series 3 GPS only model. From 8 GB to 16 GB in addition to the Ceramic back and the very slightly larger battery.
