According to a new rumor, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will “most likely” arrive with a silicon-carbon battery. The thing is, this battery is said to have a higher lifespan.
Samsung has been avoiding silicon-carbon batteries for quite some time, despite the fact that smartphones from Chinese OEMs have been rocking them for a long time. Those batteries allow OEMs to cram much higher capacities in the same space as lower-capacity Li-Ion batteries.
The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could finally embrace new tech and use a silicon-carbon battery
Well, according to a tipster, Schrödinger, those batteries could be presented in the Galaxy S27 series next year. He said: “Samsung’s engineers are actively reworking the separator layers, stacking architecture, and battery management firmware” in order to extend the longevity of silicon-carbon batteries up to 1,500 charging cycles.
He also added: “Reports from multiple sources point to a Silicon-Carbon smartphone being in active preparation, with the Galaxy S27 Ultra as the most likely first deployment.” So, there’s a chance we’ll finally see a silicon-carbon battery inside at least one of Samsung’s phones.
Recent rumors suggested that Samsung is testing 18,000mAh and 12,000mAh silicon-carbon batteries as well, so that could be arriving down the line as well.
Samsung has been using a 5,000mAh Li-Ion battery in every Galaxy S Ultra model to date
Samsung has been using 5,000mAh Li-Ion batteries for a long time. In fact, every single Samsung Galaxy S Ultra device that has seen the light of day is using a 5,000mAh Li-Ion battery. Yes, even the Galaxy S20 from 2020.
The company did not move at all in that regard, while some competitors out there use 7,000mAh+ batteries in their phones. Well, Samsung could improve in that regard with the Galaxy S27 Ultra. There seems to be no hope for the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Pro, though. It remains to be seen, though. All three of those phones are expected in Q1 2027.
