Galaxy S24 Series Could See A 10 Percent Battery Capacity Increase As Samsung Is Rumored To Shift To A Better Technology

As Samsung is rumored to switch to a better battery technology, new information is doing the rounds, claiming the Galaxy S24 lineup launching next year could see a capacity increase of 10 percent. Combine that with the more efficient components expected to be found inside Samsung’s top-end series, and you will likely have customers picking these up in droves.

The 10 percent increase in battery capacity could be achieved without increasing the weight or size of the cells

The largest battery that Samsung has ever used in its flagships is a 5,000mAh cell, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra being the latest model to feature this capacity. Ultimately, the Korean giant will have to focus more on using energy-efficient components ranging from LTPO screens, low-power storage, and memory, and a better system-on-a-chip. According to ITHome, the battery capacity will no longer be a limitation thanks to Samsung’s shift towards a ‘stacked’ design.

If you remember, just yesterday, we reported about Twitter user Revegnus talking about Samsung’s rumored plans to shift to a ‘stackable’ battery technology that would be superior to the current ‘winding’ approach the company uses. Such a battery, if found on the Galaxy S24 lineup, would also prevent swelling, which is something Samsung’s previously launched smartphones cannot avoid for some reason. Also, if we follow the rumor, a 10 percent increase would mean next year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra would have a 5,500mAh battery.

Assuming Samsung launches a Galaxy S24 Plus, it would have a 5,170mAh cell, while the base model would be outfitted with a 4,290mAh battery. The best part about switching to the ‘stacked’ battery technology is that Samsung will not have to alter the thickness of its flagship smartphone models, as the capacity increase could happen without this drawback. However, as much as we would love to see this technology in action, a few disadvantages need to be discussed.

Firstly, developing ‘stackable’ batteries requires a sizable investment in purchasing new equipment, which will obviously need to be deployed at another facility. Also, low production yields are one of the obstacles encountered by manufacturers, so while the Galaxy S24 lineup could benefit from this switch, the factors above are something that readers need to be informed of.
