Using a silicon carbon battery for the Galaxy tri-foldable serves multiple purposes. For starters the battery capacity is reportedly less than 5,000 mAh which is the expected average for Samsung phones nowadays. But if the battery is a silicon carbon one then it can still provide adequate battery life even if it is smaller on paper.
The tri-foldable also needs a better battery because it will require a lot of power in the first place to run its giant display. I think it can be reasonably concluded that because of the power requirements the tri-foldable, even with a silicon carbon battery, will only have a very average battery life.
Silicon carbon batteries are also more durable and that is sure to help for a phone that needs so much juice. New battery tech for Samsung phones has been a long time coming and I really hope that the prototype passes the tests it needs to so that the tri-foldable gets the silicon carbon battery.

It appears that the day so many Samsung fans have been waiting for has finally arrived: the company is ready to use silicon carbon batteries. A very reliable source for Samsung leaks has revealed that the Galaxy tri-foldable smartphone's prototype features a silicon carbon battery instead of the traditional lithium-ion.This Galaxy tri-foldable — which is slated to release later this year — will only see around 200,000 units manufactured initially and will only launch in a select few regions. The reason for this is that it is going to be a very expensive phone and Samsung does not expect to sell too many models.A silicon carbon battery is a battery that can hold more charge than a lithium-ion battery while being the same size. Many phone manufacturers have started using silicon carbon batteries so that they can provide better battery life without making their phones thicker. OnePlus 13 , Vivo X200 Pro and the Xiaomi 15 Pro are just three recent flagship phones with silicon carbon batteries.Samsung has often been mocked for being so slow in adopting newer battery technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra , the company's latest flagship, only charges at 45W while other phones offer up to and over 100W charging speeds. Fans have also been asking when Samsung will use silicon carbon batteries and it seems that the time has finally come.

Best Galaxy Z Fold 7 deals: launch-day promos to expect
Foldable phone fans have a major event to look forward to this July: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch. Like its predecessor, the upcoming Android phone is expected to pack serious horsepower, proving it's more than a high-end fashion statement. Of course, Samsung's book-like foldable innovations have never come cheap. There's no reason to expect a price drop this time around, either. In fact, even if rumors about Samsung holding the line on pricing are true, you're still looking at $1,899.99 for the base model—and up to $2,019.99 for the 1TB variant. Naturally, users looking to upgrade to the next Galaxy AI-enhanced book-like foldable should keep watch for launch-day promos. While deals haven't come up yet, we've rounded up what to expect from the Samsung Store, major online retailers and US carriers. Stay with us if you'd like to upgrade without paying the full Galaxy Z Fold 7 price. Jump to: Expected pre-order deals at Samsung The Samsung Store typically goes all out with its flagship phone launches, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be no exception. Last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6, for instance, debuted with up to $1,200 off with eligible phone trade-ins and a free storage upgrade (this alone was worth $120).Moreover, early Z Fold 6 buyers received a year of Samsung Care+ at no cost, an additional $156 discount. As if that's not enough, early birds got a $100 Samsung Credit for reserving their unit. That one is typically redeemable toward accessory purchases at the time of pre-order. Should Samsung keep this tradition, and we believe it will, you might be in for up to $1,400 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . That sounds like a pretty solid bargain for a handset that's anything but cheap. Expected pre-order deals at Amazon While Samsung usually offers the best pre-order deals on its book-like foldables, Amazon will likely have a great launch offer in its own right. The e-commerce giant usually celebrates pre-orders with an Amazon Gift Card and a free storage upgrade. Last year's model arrived with a $300 gift card on top of the $120 discount (free storage upgrade). The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 will probably launch with a similar offer, making Amazon a solid alternative for early buyers. Expected pre-order deals at Verizon Are you a Verizon customer? In that case, you should consider getting the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a plan by your favorite carrier. Over here, you can expect at least $800 off with any phone trade-in in any condition, though the pre-order deal will likely only work with new line activations on select Unlimited plans. Expected pre-order deals at T-Mobile We expect T-Mobile 's Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order deal to be even better than what Verizon is likely to offer, so T-Mobile fans are in for a treat. Users who pre-order at the official store on a select T-Mobile plan could get a free year of Samsung Care+ ($156 value). But that's not all; there might be a $220 discount on the book-like foldable. Additionally, trade-ins will likely be accepted. Users with the right device in good condition might be able to save an extra $1,100 on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 asking price. As usual, T-Mobile will probably apply the promotional credit through 24 monthly bill credits. Expected pre-order deals at AT&T If AT&T sticks to its usual approach, you might be able to save on more than just the Z Fold 7 during the pre-order period. For example, the carrier allowed users to grab a free storage upgrade on the 512GB model and get an extra up to $1,100 with eligible device trade-ins. This offer only worked with select Unlimited plans. Unlike other major carriers, AT&T provided bundle offers, helping users save on a Galaxy Watch 7 or a select Galaxy tablet. Also see:

Honor's next phone is a bit too traditional, but it should be very cheap
Honor X6c | Image credit: YTCHB The entry-level and mid-range segments of the smartphone market are very competitive because of the large number of new devices that are coming out every week. Not only that, but customers are now holding on to their phones for a longer time than in the past. Honor is one of the many phone makers that are trying to compete with more established brands like Motorola, Samsung and Xiaomi. The newly introduced Honor 400 series is a pure example of how the Chinese company is improving its products in an attempt to gain more market share from the X-series is Honor's lineup of more affordable smartphones. Despite being cheaper, these phones still offer great value for money and feature a premium look more often than not. The next phone in the X-series is Honor X6c, a device that hasn't been announced yet. However, several high-resolution renders of the phone have already been leaked, alongside key specs. At first glance, Honor X6c feels like an average, yet very stylish, affordable smartphone, so the success of the phone might come down to whether or not Honor will price this competitively. Honor X6c | Image credit: YTECHB For tech-savvy, Honor X6c uses a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, which is paired with 6/8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The smartphone sports a very decent 6.61-inch TFT LCD display with 1604 x 720 pixels resolution and 120Hz refresh far as the camera is concerned, the report claims the phone comes with a standard dual-camera system that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor and a much smaller QVGA snapper. There's also a secondary 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front. Honor X6c is powered by a 5,300 mAh battery with 35W wired charging speed support. The phone will also feature IP64 rating and will ship with Magic OS 9.0 based on Android 15. On paper, Honor X6c feels like a dumbed down version of its bigger brother, Honor X7c, which made its debut on the market back in October. The former has slightly smaller display, battery, and camera, as well as a different chipset. What sets the Honor X6c apart from the previous model is the AI button on the left side. All in all, the X6c should be more affordable than the X7c judging by the leaked specs. Just for reference, Honor X7c costs around €150, the upcoming model should be even cheaper.
