Galaxy has not evaded the smartphone bad press completely regarding capacity, slow charging and lithium battery fires. Thus we were intrigued to find a speculative report of significant improvements on the upcoming Galaxy S10 on BGR.Com. Especially since a known name on Weibo and Twitter had leaked the phone will have “faster charge speeds”.
New Galaxy S10 Has Loads of Energy-Guzzling Features
BGR.Com predicts the Galaxy S10 will feature “Infinity-O screen design, multi-lens cameras on the back, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.” Moreover, “Samsung’s Infinity-O OLED screen tech will outperform all comparable designs for the foreseeable future,” it says.
A Weibo / Twitterer by name of @MMDDJ_ also let slip the Galaxy S10 will be using graphene batteries. Now graphene is a sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice form. It conducts electrical energy like few other materials do; moreover it is also chemically inert. So all-in-all we have a great battery material here that is also one of the most abundant on earth.
S10 Graphene Batteries Could Set New Performance Standards
Conventional electrode materials – including lithium – display improved performance when teamed with graphene. Therefore, unless @MMDDJ_ is having us on, the S10 will have lighter batteries. And with high capacity storage and fast charging times too.
Another blogger, SammyHub claims Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology researchers have charged a battery in 12 minutes. However, they used “graphene ball” technology, so this one might not be ready for market yet. Samsung has to pull a rabbit out the hat with its Galaxy S10 to put the Galaxy Note 7 battery debacle finally to bed.
We are not saying the S10 battery will be a graphene one. However Samsung has neither admitted nor denied it. Moreover, as Stuff.Co says, “bumping up to 4K resolution … would suck up loads more power from the battery.” And that power has to come from somewhere.
