Samsung is reportedly working on a new type of battery for its smartphones
According to a new leak, Samsung is working on a new battery technology that could significantly improve the battery life of the upcoming Galaxy S26 smartphones.
Here's What We Know
Unlike Chinese manufacturers who use silicon carbide (SiC) batteries, Samsung is rumoured to have decided to adopt the stacking method. This technology can increase the energy density by about 10 per cent compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
According to the report, Samsung SDI is developing multilayer batteries that will allow a 5500mAh battery to be installed in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while taking up the same amount of space as the 5000mAh battery in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This will increase the battery life of the device without increasing its size.
However, due to the high cost of manufacturing, this technology is likely to be used only in premium models. Earlier rumours about the use of stacking technology have already appeared, but none of them were confirmed. To what extent this information will be confirmed - time will tell.
