Samsung is apparently working on a new and improved battery technology which will power its next generation of flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S24 series. But interestingly enough, these upgrades are thanks to technology inspired by electric vehicle technologies.

EVs inspire next gen battery tech for Samsung Galaxy S24 series

Based on a new report, the South Korean tech giant is seeking to improved the battery on the Galaxy S24 lineup by turning to technology from the EV industry. The company has reportedly partnered up with two Chinese firms to jointly develop the new battery technology. Samsung will be employing the stacking technology for batteries that is found in electric vehicles. To put things simply, it is a method on improving batteries’ overall capacity without the physical size changing.

The Samsung SDI is working on this new battery technology, which is the research and development unit of the brand. This R&D department is looking to improve the energy capacity on next gen batteries while aiming to retain the existing size. For this, it is working with the two Chinese firms that are deriving tech from Gen 5 batteries that are made for electric vehicles. In other words, they are miniaturizing the battery technology that can then be used in smartphones and tablets.

Notably, this new battery technology can help achieve around 10 percent of capacity rise while maintaining a similar overall size to its predecessor. The new joint venture will use the company’s advanced facility at its Cheonan, South Korea site. So we can expect the Galaxy S24 to arrive with slightly longer lasting battery packs. The two Chinese firms are setting up offices in the country as well, with Shenzhen Yinghe Tech supplying the stacking equipment.
