Samsung recently launched its latest smartwatch series, the Galaxy Watch 7 series. Now the brand is looking forward to expanding the advancement of its future wearable devices by testing a new all-solid-state battery for wearable devices.
Samsung is working on a new solid-state battery for wearable devices, which has a higher energy density (200 Wh/L) than lithium-ion batteries and is currently being tested by customers. Reportedly, Samsung’s Electro-Mechanics unit has been working for three years on the solid-state battery and created a prototype that customers are currently testing.
Undoubtedly, batteries play a quite countable role in the mobile technology industry. However, it seems that manufacturers are unable to offer users upgrades comparable to those offered by other technologies. Now, Samsung could fulfill the satisfaction of its users with the new technology.
Samsung is developing a new battery that does not have liquid electrolytes like lithium-ion batteries and can also count on a much higher energy density. It’s expected that the company could start mass production for the new battery in 2026.
Following the previous release of the Galaxy Watch series, Samsung should debut the Galaxy Watch 9 series in 2026, as it debuts the latest smartwatch series each year. This year it debuted the Galaxy Watch 7 series; the next year could be the Galaxy Watch 8 series; and then in 2026, the Galaxy Watch 9 series could be in the line.
This means that this battery could make its debut on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 series in 2026. Potentially to power the other Galaxy devices, such as Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Ring.
The key parts of solid-state batteries are that they will deliver longer battery life and higher energy density, as well as safety and a lower likelihood of overheating. They are also flexible to make in various formats, a feature that takes on great importance when they are used in small wearable devices.
