When it comes to technologies for mobile devices, factors like size and existing tech limit what companies can do. For instance, you can't fit an 8000mAh battery on a smartphone unless you're willing to increase the size. But Samsung is working on improving battery capacity for its mobile devices.
According to The Elec, Samsung SDI is developing a new type of battery for smartphones, tablets, notebooks and more. The company already manufactures this type of "stacked batteries" for electric vehicles. But to bring this tech to mobile devices, Samsung will collaborate with two Chinese companies to make smaller stacked batteries.

For your info, a stacked battery is one where sets of core battery materials are stacked on top of each other. This results in batteries with up to 10% more energy density, so Samsung can make batteries with larger capacities in the same size. Alternatively, the company could make its batteries smaller but retain the same capacity. This allows Samsung to fit more components into their devices or make them more compact.
Mind you, we don't know when Samsung would be ready to manufacture these new batteries. But we might see it featured in next year's Galaxy S24 series, so we might see a big improvement in battery capacity. With that said, do you prefer larger battery capacities or more compact devices? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news about this.
