Samsung Galaxy S26 To Have 7000mAh Battery Samsung is preparing to increase the battery capacity of its upcoming Galaxy S26 series smartphones. According to Korean media FN News, the company is likely to adopt silicon-carbon technology in this series. This could lead to a battery capacity of up to 7,000 mAh.
The new technology will use silicon instead of graphite in the cathode material of the battery, which is said to significantly increase energy storage capacity. However, Samsung was previously hesitant to use this technology due to fears of high production costs. Since Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo, and OnePlus have already used this technology in their flagship smartphones, Samsung now also wants to join the competition.
However, Samsung will be taking some precautions in adopting silicon-carbon battery technology. Since it produces more units than its Chinese competitors, any problems could have a wide impact. This is why the company has maintained 25-watt and 45-watt charging rates for years.
Samsung’s recently launched Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery and 45-watt charging, which is the same as the Galaxy S20 Ultra (a five-year-old model). Similarly, the Galaxy S25 has a 4,000mAh battery and 25-watt charging capacity, which is the same as the 2020 model. However, the Galaxy S25 Plus has some improvements in battery capacity. Although it is considered the least attractive of the three flagship models, it has an upgraded battery.
