Samsung is fiercely resisting innovation in the field of batteries. But only on the surface. While it has been sticking to Li-Ion batteries in its mobile phones for years and their capacity does not exceed 5,000 mAh, it is experimenting with much more advanced technologies in its laboratories. One of them is the so-called solid-state battery with a solid electrolyte, the other is the silicon-carbon battery. We will probably not see the first type anytime soon, but the second could appear in mobile phones Galaxy next year already.

Silicon-carbon batteries are mainly used by Chinese mobile phone manufacturers. They have a classic liquid electrolyte, but can offer much greater capacity at the same size as lithium-ion batteries. Which is why prono has Xiaomi 17 Ultra 6,800mAh battery, OnePlus 15 then a 7,300mAh battery and maybe vivo X300 Pro has 5440 mAh (in China even 6510 mAh). And it is also the reason, proč Samsung is starting to lag behind.

Galaxy S27 may surprise

But now it turns out that the next generation of mobile phones Galaxy this could finally change. Samsung SDI according to findings leakerand with a nickname Schrodinger tests a two-cell silicon-carbon battery designed pro row Galaxy S27 and some models Galaxy A (probably Galaxy A58 a Galaxy A38). But don't expect 7,000 mAh. There is currently speculation about a jump to 5 200 mAhWhich isn't much, but it's the first step towards longer battery life for Samsung phones.

The essential information lies elsewhere. The mention of two-cell battery It suggests that Samsung wants to split the battery into two smaller cells. And instead of a graphite mixture, it will use a mixture of silicon and carbon. This will make it easier to prevent the battery from expanding in volume, which is one of the unfortunate properties of silicon. Then it can start a new era.

ProThis type is said to have an energy density of over 450 Wh per kilogram, which is very solid. And in the future, Samsung could be able to produce literally revolutionary batteryRecent rumors even talked about a capacity of up to 20,000 mAh, which are unattainable values ​​today.

As far as I know, the current record holders are Honor Win with 10,000mAh battery and Honor Power2 with a 10,080mAh battery. And even OnePlus has a representative with a 9,000mAh cell – OnePlus Turbo 6So Samsung should really work hard, otherwise users could easily switch elsewhere.
