- Samsung is reportedly thinking about bringing silicon-carbon batteries to the Galaxy S26 series.
- This would come almost two years after the first Chinese brands adopted the technology.
- Silicon-carbon batteries enable greater capacity without a corresponding increase in physical size.
Most Chinese smartphone brands have adopted silicon-carbon batteries in their best Android phones, opening the door to increased capacity. Samsung missed this technology on the Galaxy S25 series, but it now sounds like we could see it in the Galaxy S26 range.
Korean outlet FNN News reports that Samsung is considering silicon-carbon batteries for the Galaxy S26 series. An unnamed Samsung official also told the publication that the battery capacity of these phones will increase if Samsung uses this tech. That would be a relief as Samsung’s three Galaxy S phones have long offered 4,000mAh to 5,000mAh batteries.
