Samsung Secures Patents and Begins Development of Solid State Batteries for Future Galaxy Phones

Nowadays, most smartphones use either lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries, which have some negative aspects but have been the norm in the industry for quite some time. However, Samsung is determined to change this and has been making significant investments in solid-state batteries. Interestingly, Samsung now holds approximately 14 patents related to this technology, suggesting that a future where solid-state batteries are prevalent may be closer than we think.

"Samsung's Application of Solid-State Batteries: Smaller, Safer, and Higher Capacity"

It's important to mention that Samsung is in the initial phases of creating a prototype for a solid-state battery. Thus, it'll take them some time before releasing these types of batteries for smartphones. So, it's confirmed that the upcoming version of Galaxy S24, which will be launched next year, won't include these batteries.

Once more, it's important to emphasize that solid-state batteries for smartphones won't be available in the near future. Why is that? Many companies have attempted to create these smaller-scale batteries for mobile devices, including smartphones. There are several advantages for Samsung if they can incorporate these batteries into their Galaxy phones. Firstly, they provide outstanding safety features, as they won't ignite when punctured. Secondly, they can store energy more efficiently and take up less space, even though they have a larger capacity.

This denotes that Samsung and other firms will roll out smartphones equipped with enormous battery capacity while featuring small batteries at the back. However, it remains uncertain when this will materialize. As previously noted, Samsung has yet to commence the development of a prototype, and we are unaware of any other enterprise delving into this battery innovation.

Furthermore, taking into account the fact that these batteries are not particularly convenient to produce and manufacturers typically encounter issues with getting them to operate, it will be quite some time before we witness any tangible results. It's important to note that the added intricacy also results in a higher production cost, and the considerable internal resistance is another factor that has prevented these batteries from being used widely.

No matter what happens, we can confidently state that upcoming Samsung mobile devices, and potentially other types of smartphones, will be equipped with strong, durable batteries made of solid-state materials. For now, all we can do is patiently anticipate the debut of a functional model.
