A tipster, @TheGalox_, shared a post on X, revealing that Samsung announced its acquisition of Group14 for $4.5 billion. It is the second biggest acquisition ever for the Korean tech giant.
previously, it was reported that Samsung is planning to introduce Silicon Carbon Batteries in the next-generation Galaxy S26 series. Currently, it is using traditional batteries in its smartphones, and to increase cost efficiency, it has not limited the battery capacity to 5000 mAh for its flagship device.
Meanwhile, it’s also revealed that the Korean tech giant is gearing up for applying All-Solid-State battery prototypes for the first ever time for its wearable smartring (Galaxy Ring) in Q4, 2025, true wireless earphones (TWS) in Q4 2026, and smartwatches (Galaxy Watches) in Q4 2027.
