Samsung Galaxy G Fold may be the company's first smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery
Samsung is preparing to unveil its first three-sided folding smartphone, the Galaxy G Fold, and a recent leak from @PandaFlashPro reveals an interesting detail. It seems that the novelty will have a battery based on silicon-carbon technology.
Here's What We Know
This approach can help the company create a thinner body for the Galaxy G Fold. This technology involves the use of a silicon anode instead of the usual graphite one, which allows storing more energy in a smaller size. Thanks to this, Samsung will be able to make the device thinner and lighter. The official release is expected in the second half of 2025.
The idea of creating a smartphone with three-sided folding was first announced at the Unpacked event in January this year, where XR headsets and AR glasses were also shown.

Samsung also plans to use this technology in the next Galaxy S26 models. According to rumours, the G Fold battery will be less than 5000 mAh. Such batteries are already used in smartphones from other companies such as Honor and Xiaomi.
Thanks to the high energy density of silicon-carbon technology, Samsung can retain the 4400mAh capacity of the Fold 6, but make the device thinner. Since the leak is based on a prototype, the exact design of the Galaxy Tri-Fold is not yet known, but it could be released in July 2025 along with the Fold 7.
In any case, Samsung will face serious competition, in particular from Huawei, which has already released its Mate XT.
