Samsung currently uses traditional batteries in its smartphones, and to increase cost efficiency, it has only limited the battery capacity to 5000 mAh for its flagship device. But now, according to Fnnews, Samsung could introduce the silicon-carbon battery next year for the Galaxy S26 smartphones, which will lead to increased capacity and fast charging limits.
Further, the report mentions that there are several Chinese manufacturers that are planning to introduce their flagship devices with batteries in the range of 6000 to 7000 mAh along with fast charging between 80W to 100W. So to compete in the battery segment, the Korean giant is also planning to bring more powerful batteries with its flagship by adapting silicon-carbon battery technology.
To make silicon carbon batteries, reduce the amount of graphite in the cathode material by substituting it with silicon. With this composition, there can be larger batteries and faster charging speeds compared to traditional batteries.
So if the Korean giant is considering introducing the silicon carbon battery in the Galaxy S26 series devices, then it will be beneficial for the user who wants to get long-lasting battery life with high performance on their flagship.
However, currently, the company is researching improvements on it, as one Samsung official said that if silicon anode material is used, the capacity increases, but there is an issue with the lifespan, so improvements are necessary.
According to the report, most tipsters, such as AI Bingzhou and Lanzk, have predicted that Samsung will use silicon carbon-based batteries in its Galaxy S26 devices. In conclusion, next year we will get tough competition from flagships in terms of battery capacity and performance.
