It seems that Samsung is finally stepping up its battery game with the use of silicon carbon batteries. According to reliable leaks, the prototype of the Galaxy tri-foldable smartphone is equipped with this advanced battery technology, a departure from the traditional lithium-ion batteries used in previous models. Silicon carbon batteries have been seen in recent flagship phones like the OnePlus 13, Vivo X200 Pro, and the Xiaomi 15 Pro, indicating a shift towards more efficient and faster-charging power sources in the industry. Samsung fans have long awaited this development, and it looks like their wishes may soon be granted.
The current flagship, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, has been criticized for its slower 45W charging speed while competitors offer much higher rates. With the potential adoption of silicon carbon batteries in upcoming models like the Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Flip 8, Samsung could be on the brink of a major breakthrough in battery technology.
