The Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely is about ten months away now, which suggests the event of the elements that can go inside it needs to be nearing completion to permit sufficient time for testing and manufacturing. And based on the newest report from South Korea the following bar flagship would possibly convey new battery tech, borrowed from the EV trade.
Korean publication The Elec claims Samsung’s SDI division, which is in control of battery R&D is seeking to carry over stacked batteries to the smartphone enterprise. Reasonably than a change to the chemistry content material of the battery this refers to how the cells are organized, however the impact remains to be the next power density, permitting for larger capability to suit inside the identical quantity. Audi’s Q8 e-tron used the same tech to suit a 114kWh battery inside, whereas Chinese language battery maker CATL has an excellent bigger 140kWh stacked battery.
Clearly, smartphone batteries function beneath a vastly totally different atmosphere in comparison with EV’s energy packs, however the report claims we should always anticipate a ten% enchancment in density. This doesn’t essentially imply the Galaxy S24 Extremely will pack a 5,500mAh battery in comparison with the 5,000mAh of the Galaxy S23 Extremely. Samsung might nicely use the improved pack to suit the identical capability inside a smaller cell, releasing house for different elements or enabling a extra compact cellphone.
The assembled batteries are often one of many first part to leak as a smartphone strikes via its improvement phases so we’ll doubtless be listening to extra about this quickly.
Beforehand, we heard the Galaxy S24 could include a new digicam setup and a huge GPU increase.
