Samsung is contemplating upgrading the battery capacity of the Galaxy S26 by exploring new battery technologies. According to FN News, the tech giant, Samsung is rumored to have a solution with a Silicon-Carbon which will bring the devices close to reaching a capacity of 7,000 mAh.
Synonymous with this modified battery technology traditional graphite component has been replaced by silicon in the battery cathode. Such technologies can replace all earlier energy-capacity improvements to deliver gigantic improvement rates.
Although they struggled in earlier years because of production costs and yield problems, leading flagships from Xiaomi, vivo, and OnePlus pushed Samsung to seize the moment.
Samsung has adopted a very careful approach to silicon-carbon batteries because it makes many more units than its Chinese opponents. Such reasoning can also be drawn from the constant use of the 25W and 45W charging rates that have been maintained by the company for years.
As it has been reported by FNNews, Samsung will be investing a good sum of funds in the adoption of Si/C batteries in its flagship devices for the upcoming years.
The company has sorted out issues with the material composition and expansion which, in effect, may prompt Apple to consider slimmer batteries for its device iPhone 17.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has been launched with a capacity of 5,000 mAh and 45W charging. The battery does not use any different technology for the battery than that was found in the five-year-old Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Similarly, the standard Galaxy S25 has a battery with a capacity of 4,000 mAh along with which it also has a 25W charing, hence, replicating what the specifications are for its 2020 predecessor.
Ironically, the Galaxy S25+ has not achieved any drastic levels of improvements in the field of battery abilities. As of now, it is placed at the bottom of the flagship range by preference.
