Samsung Galaxy S24 to equip stacked battery tech
This August, Samsung’s expected to launch next-gen foldable phones and flagship tablets along with wearable products. Meanwhile, report indicates that Samsung could use the stacked battery tech featured in electric cars on the Galaxy S24 series.
According to TheElec report, Samsung SDI is looking to carry over stacked battery tech from electric cars to the smartphone business. This technology brings higher energy density, resulting in higher capacity without increment in size.
Samsung strictly maintains the policy of not bringing upgrades, which cause increased thickness, weight, and so on. Therefore, the stacked battery tech could become a great option for Samsung to bring upgraded batteries of the same size and weight.
On the other hand, the company might also stick to the same capacity on future flagships but with reduced size, thanks to the stacked battery technology. This way, smartphones would get additional space, which can be used for other upgrades/improvements.
As we are about 10 months away from the tentative launch of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung would be getting enough time for research and development, and testing of components prior to applying the stacked battery tech.
The stacking method can increase energy density by over 10% to this prior method. SDI division reportedly preps to apply the method for small batteries aimed at phones, tablets, notebooks, and other consumer electronics devices.
Samsung can never forget the exploding Galaxy Note 7, which seriously damaged its reputation. Hence, the company may not take changing battery tech quite lightly, and we might hear the conventional tech to live on further too.
