NFC chip was built into the phone, the battery only doubles as the antenna. The antenna is just a thin film layer as shown below:
For more pics, you can refer here.
I bought Sun Global 3000mAh battery, I don't know how they pack in more capacity, maybe discarded NFC antenna and built a thinner wall for battery casing?
I find my Sun Global battery although claim to be higher capacity, but it drain faster than the stock battery. I also thought of "running in" the battery might improve it, but learned from BatteryUniversity.com and other sites said in theory, Lithium based battery do not need running in, and it should perform as it should when new.
Anyway, it is no harm you give it more time and observe the performance.
ah many thanks for that clarification. i suspected was an antenna as well but had no idea how big it would be. so its just a strip. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

thing is from my galaxy note i have had experience of my cheapo third party batteries lasting longer than the stock battery.
also since have no idea where these sun global batteries are sourced from (probably sourced and then stuck into their own packaging and printing, as i doubt they have their actual own factories), dont know how the QC is like, if every battery is the same. but it says here made in Japan. for whatever thats worth.
anyway performing extrapolated tests now. im not sure if its a pseudo effect but it "felt" like it lasts a little longer than stock. will do a definitive full drain in the weekend, controlled testing as much as possible. right now im testing full brightness, screen set to dont turn off, stock samsung sample video playing in loop in pop up mode. will play for 1 hour then try the other battery. see the percentage.
concern here is percentage reading is inaccurate which is why i wanna do full drain in the weekend
