They already exist in Chinese phones, the new one plus has insane battery life because of its 6000mah battery, while still being as thin as a normal phone.

Other phones targeting the Chinese market have reached 8000.

But companies like Apple and Samsung like to just sit on their laurels and sell the same thing again.




They are not using Solid State but Semi Solid State with Silicon Carbon. We should be expecting 400Whr/Kg by end of this year.

But yes Apple and Samsung has been very slow in adoption to new Battery Tech, even when it is somewhat market tested by Chinese phone markers.


I believe it's been 5 years that some Chinese phones already have Silicon Carbon battery... Samsung/Apple was crazy slow on this, and later this year everyone will get "Shocked" when apple supposedly show up their new phone with the new battery...


>and later this year everyone will get "Shocked" when apple supposedly show up their new phone with the new battery...

That is on the assumption they will use the battery....


There was rumors iPhone 17 would have it

And considering Samsung showed Galaxy Edge with the new battery...


The edge has a normal Lithium battery, which causes the phone to have less than mediocre battery life.


Oh, wow. I was sure it was Si-Co. This is now even more ridiculous then lol
