Silicon-carbon batteries have changed the game — Apple and Samsung need to catch up
5,000mAh batteries are starting to feel increasingly small.
Battery technology is evolving rapidly, and silicon-carbon (Si-C) batteries are leading the charge in smartphones. Major manufacturers like Apple and Samsung are now incorporating this cutting-edge tech into their latest devices. Samsung, for instance, has embraced Si-C batteries in its recent Galaxy Z Fold 8 series, which boasts capacities ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 mAh – a significant leap from previous models.
The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max is another example of this trend, featuring an 8,000 mAh Si-C cell. The global version of the device comes with a reduced capacity of 7,150 mAh, split into two cells, but OPPO claims it can easily last two days on a single charge based on typical usage. Extensive testing has confirmed that this powerhouse battery can outlast many rival flagships, making it a game-changer in the smartphone industry.
