Samsung is pulling all the stops to make sure the next generation of the Galaxy is a device that captures all eyes. The leaks that have been appearing in recent days confirm this, and now another juicy one has been added: the availability of a battery that would surpass that of its rivals and would mark a turning point in the smartphone sector. To achieve this, the Korean manufacturer will use technology from electric cars.
The best of two worlds
The team at the forefront of this innovation is Samsung SDI, where they seem to be clear that the electric car sector can provide a lot of support to their mobile device division. Accustomed to developing lithium-ion batteries, what they would do in this case would be to transfer the battery technology that electric cars have so that there was a significant increase in the capacity that their next mobiles would have. And possibly it will not only apply to the next Ultra, but it will be something that, if it works, will also be seen in other models of smartphones and tablets.
This type of battery does its job by accumulating the battery components in an airtight manner that ensures better performance. If everything goes according to what is being discussed, Samsung will soon have finished its investigation and will have the new battery system ready to be present at the launch of the Galaxy S24 Ultra in 2024. Making a comparison of the use of this technology in the current Galaxy S23 Ultra, the sources say that it would mean a 10% increase in capacity. It would, therefore, be a significant improvement considering that the mobile’s battery is 5,000 mAh and that it already offers good performance even without the use of the system from the electric car.
In addition to this, we must not ignore the other rumors that are appearing about the Galaxy S24 Ultra, such as that it could have a GPU more powerful than the iPhone 15 and that the number of cameras could be reduced compared to the current model. The latter, although it has generated conflicting opinions, may be related to some strategy that Samsung has not yet explained. It will be necessary to wait to know if these rumors end up being true or not.
Samsung does not work alone
the korean company You know that everything has to be perfect, since it has LG, one of its big rivals, using the same type of battery system through its LG Energy division. For this reason, Samsung has been pulling strings in order to sign collaboration agreements with other entities that will lend a hand in their work. In this regard, it had been rumored that Samsung would work with two companies of South Korean origin, but the latest news coming from the country suggests that the company could have made the decision to ally with two Chinese entities.
However, the construction of the battery cells and all the equipment will remain in South Korea at Samsung SDI’s factory in Cheonan. The collaboration of the two Chinese companies, one of them being Shenzhen Yinghe Tech, looks so serious that they will both set up offices in Samsung’s country to be able to better manage all the work they are going to do. After all, if this project goes well, Samsung is aware that It will have a great international impact.possibly not just for your own devices.
