Hello 👋 All.

What do we think about the technology surrounding these new battery options.

Will Samsung start using them ?

I think we'd need to see more durability for these batteries really.
The expansion rates of the silicone do worry me a bit.
That said its a burgeoning technology and development works very fast.
So I can see them coming in Samsung phones in the next couple of years

Looks like this is the future, according to unofficial sources that quote Korean sources.
I found this online.
• Samsung's Galaxy S26 phones could use silicon carbon batteries
• These could provide capacities of up to 7,000mAh, according to a new report
• Silicon carbon batteries look set to be the future of phone batteries
A report from Korean-language website FNNews claims that Samsung is considering a move to silicon-carbon batteries for its next-generation Galaxy phones, which could see battery capacities leap from 4,000mAh and 5,000mAh to 6,000mAh and 7,000mAh

I don't think yet, they are probably seeing how durable they are before they go that route and source them.

I think if Samsung put the Exynox 2400 which is very potent or they make a new Exynox generation they are good to launch another line of super phones and tablets.

Personally, I'll hold out for Graphene batteries to be our future.

Maybe, maybe not. But the potential is huge and possibly the biggest stride in battery tech in forever... 😊

Yes. Honor's Silicon carbon battery material comes from a company called Group14 Technologies. ATL — Samsung's minority battery manufacturer that was partially responsible for the Note 7 issues — manufactures the silicon carbon batteries in China.

Samsung recently purchased Group14 so I think the earliest we will see si/c batteries is on the tri-fold at the end of the year and the latest we will see them is on the Z8. Group14 also supplies Xiaomi with their si/c battery material. I assume the same goes for Huawei.
