Batteries represent one of the most critical aspects for smartphone manufacturers, who cannot find a solution that is able to guarantee users to exploit the full potential of modern phones without also worrying about consumption but it seems that Samsung has some interesting news in this regard.
According to news from South Korea, in fact, the popular mobile manufacturer could take advantage of the experience gained by Samsung SDI in the electric vehicle sector to improve telephony.
How Samsung’s smartphone batteries will change
In particular, it seems that Samsung is preparing to adopt the stacking technology used for electric vehicle batteries to produce smartphone batteries with higher capacities (the increase guaranteed by such a solution should be at least 10%).
And so, taking advantage of this system, Samsung should be able to implement in a smartphone a 5,500 mAh battery that occupies the same volume (and footprint) as a 5,000 mAh battery (like that of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, just to give an example).
Or the manufacturer may decide to take advantage of this technology to reduce the size of the battery and, consequently, those of the phone (as well as its weight).
The Korean giant seems to have decided to focus on this solution, which will require a considerable investment and important changes to the current production structure.
Samsung’s new batteries will be made at the Cheonan plant in South Korea, but the telephony giant is expected to convert one of the production lines at the Tianjin plant in China to this new technology.
At the moment there is no information on when the Korean giant could debut the new batteries but it would not be surprising if it decided to take advantage of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series to introduce this important novelty in the world of telephony. We’ll see.
