Samsung Will Double Its Smartphones Battery Life

Samsung researchers are finding solutions to increase battery life.

Samsung Electronics is the biggest and largest smartphone vendor in the world. The company lost its market position and status last year due to failing miserably in the market, where it could not sell its flagship product. However, it was all settled with the release of this year’s flagship products.

The South Korean smartphone maker has always been one of the best options for consumers and a market leader. The only place where it lacked was its battery timing. Many users of its devices have been complaining that the battery completely drains out in comparatively less time than other smartphones.

This is an ongoing situation and Samsung has so far failed to take serious action. While purchasing a smartphone, consumers consider several features including battery life and timing, but the company lagged in addressing such issues. Now as it has done so, it is reportedly working on a new tech that will see its phones’ battery life to be doubled in the coming times. 

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge have a decent battery life but still the consumers are not satisfied. According to Android Authority, “Researchers at Samsung Electronics announced yesterday that they have developed a new technology to produce a silicon cathode material that coats Graphene onto a silicon surface for higher energy density. In other words, Samsung has found a way to almost double the capacity of lithium batteries, which are used to power smartphones and various other gadgets.”

It is a well-known fact that the capacity of smartphone’s battery have slightly increased in the past ten years. However, due to design constraints, the technology has remained limited due to the physical size of devices. Furthermore, it also depended on the limitations ‘of the actual materials inside the battery’.

Batteries cannot be manufactured any bigger in size. Hence, they are being increased in raw capacity and it is believed that the researchers at the company have found out a new way to find the solution to this problem.

According to sources, “The company has come up with a new coating method for battery cathodes, which overcomes the cycling performance and capacity limitations imposed by current implementations.” This new process excessively and efficiently uses a new material known as Graphene, which is said to be grown directly into the silicon coating of the battery.

Engadget writes, “If your smartphone barely makes it 12 hours before giving up the ghost, this would theoretically give you 21 hours -- enough that you wouldn't have to panic if you forgot to plug in before bedtime.”
