Chinese smartphone brands have quickly applied the Silicon-Carbon battery technology on high-end Android models, opening up opportunities to increase battery capacity.
Meanwhile, Samsung has not put this technology on the Galaxy S25 line, but most likely this will change with the Galaxy S26.
According to a source from FNN News (South Korea), Samsung is considering using the Silicon-Carbon battery for the Galaxy S26 series. An unnamed source of Samsung also confirmed to the newspaper that if this technology is applied, the battery capacity of the new Galaxy S models will be significantly improved. This is a remarkable information, because for many years, the Galaxy S series has a battery ranging from 4,000 mAh to 5,000 mAh.
However, deploying the new battery also entails the issue of longevity. Therefore, Samsung is said to be still studying many solutions to optimize.
The report also pointed out that Samsung is often hesitant to upgrade the battery capacity due to large production output. If the error appears, the problems of the product's stability may become serious.
This is not the first time the information about the Galaxy S26 series can use the silicon-carbon battery. Earlier, a number of famous leaked sources made the same judgment. However, with FNN News continue to confirm, this technology ability appears on the Galaxy S26 series becomes more and more reliable.
The silicon-carbon battery offers a great advantage when increasing the battery capacity without expanding the size compared to the traditional lithium-ion battery.
Honor Magic 5 Pro is the first phone to apply this technology, paving the way for devices with a huge battery like OnePlus 13 (6,000 mAh), Vivo X200 Pro (6,000 mAh) or Redmic 10 Pro (7,050 mAh).
