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.
Maybe then we can begin to hope for better batteries on the

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.

OnePlus 15 to be very, very black
The OnePlus 15 has already been rumored to go through a significant redesign compared to its predecessor, with the big round camera island being replaced with a rectangular one that will be left-aligned at the top of its rear. But that's not all. Apparently, OnePlus is testing a "SuperBlack" colorway, which will be the blackest black we've ever seen on a smartphone, so black in fact that it will resemble a black hole. According to tipsters who have seen the prototype, it's "far better looking than imagined", for what it's worth. OnePlus 13 The OnePlus 15's 6.78-inch display will get a resolution downgrade to "1.5K", but might boast a higher refresh rate, and will come with extremely tiny and symmetrical bezels on all sides. They will be significantly smaller than on the OnePlus 13. The phone also has "upgraded multi-function buttons", whatever that means, and the display's quality is said to be excellent despite the lower resolution, with amazing brightness and detail levels and lower power consumption. As you may have gathered, OnePlus is skipping the number 14 due to the presence of "4" which is considered bad luck in Chinese culture. The OnePlus 15 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which is getting official in late September. It's expected to sport a 7,000 mAh battery and a triple rear camera system with a 50 MP main snapper and a periscope zoom camera as well. Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese)

Samsung unveils world's first Micro RGB display technology
Samsung is billing Micro RGB as the next big thing for TVs, saying it delivers "exceptional color accuracy with sub-100-micrometer LEDs". Samsung's first product using this tech is a 115" display that you can see below. It uses Samsung's proprietary Micro RGB technology, which arranges individually controlled red, green, and blue micro RGB LEDs in an ultra-fine pattern behind the panel. This architecture "enables precision control over each red, green, and blue RGB LED", Samsung says. Everything is of course powered by an AI engine, which analyzes each frame in real time and optimizes color output. Micro RGB Color Booster Pro recognizes scenes with dull color tones and "enhances" the colors across all content "for a more vivid and immersive viewing experience". There's also "a smarter Bixby" built-in, powered by generative AI, and the display is secured by Knox. Thanks to Micro RGB Precision Color, the display achieves 100% coverage of BT.2020, and Glare Free technology minimizes reflections even in bright lighting conditions. Samsung promises seven years of updates for the Tizen OS. The Micro RGB display is first launching in Korea, then will make it to the US later. There are also plans for a global rollout "featuring a variety of sizes to meet customer needs". Source

This could be Galaxy S26 Ultra's most unnecessary upgrade: yet it might actually matter a lot to you
The Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference. | Image by PhoneArena Galaxy S25 Ultra Galaxy S26 Ultra How is this possible? S26 Ultra But why not strive for faster RAM? S26 Ultra Nobody asked for this, but it could turn out sweet Galaxy S26 Ultra S26 Ultra Once upon a time, I was pretty sure that every new phone was at least 2x better than its predecessor in every imaginable way; I've long parted with that pipe dream. For example, thewas not a dramatic improvement over the Galaxy S24 Ultra , but truth to be told, I'm really curious about the Galaxy S26 Ultra Phones made incredible leaps in terms of performance, durability, screens, and whatnot in the last 15 years, so it's really hard to innovate these days. That's why the widespread perception is that smartphones have generally allegedly challenge that view by incorporating super-duper, giga-mega fast RAM At first reading, that sounds… underwhelming. Faster RAM. Is that it? Frankly, considering the S25 Ultra is already lightning-quick, my first reaction was a shrug. I don't need apps to open in the blink of an eye when they already open in… the blink of an here's where it gets interesting. This rumored RAM upgrade might not just be about speed. If the leaks are correct, the new chips will be physically thinner. That matters because every fraction of a millimeter inside a smartphone is prime real in this case, thinner RAM could free up precious space for something we actually care about: a bigger battery. That suddenly turns this "meh" upgrade into a potentially great expected to move from LPDDR5X RAM based on Micron's 1β (1-beta) process technology to a new 1γ (1-gamma) generation. On paper, this is a speed bump – from 9.6 Gbps to 10.7 Gbps. But the bigger story is in how that's achieved. The 1γ process shrinks the manufacturing scale, making the chips smaller, more power-efficient, and physically thinner – around 0.61mm thick compared to their size reduction doesn't sound dramatic, but in smartphone engineering, it's huge. A slightly slimmer RAM module can mean a larger cavity inside the phone. That's space Samsung could use for a bigger vapor chamber, an upgraded camera sensor… or, most importantly, a bigger top of that, 1γ RAM is said to deliver up to 20% better energy efficiency than 1β. That means not only could a larger battery fit, but the phone might sip power more slowly – stretching battery life even the thing: RAM speed is already so far ahead of what everyday phone use demands that chasing more of it feels like polishing an already sparkling set of silver cutlery. The S25 Ultra launches apps in well under a second. Even if theshaves that time by 0.1 seconds, you'll never notice it outside a benchmark faster RAM matters for extreme workloads – think high-resolution video editing or certain AI processing tasks – but for 99% of the stuff most of us do, the benefit is live in a time where performance is so good that gains in raw speed don't translate into better day-to-day experiences the way they once did. What matters more now is efficiency and endurance. And that's where this RAM upgrade could quietly batteries, however, are so cool. I love the idea of a phone that just doesn't need to see a charger every night. Sure, we're surrounded by outlets and fast chargers, but there's something deeply satisfying about going more than a day without worrying about your battery Galaxy S Ultra line has been sitting at the 5,000 mAh mark for years now. Meanwhile, Chinese competitors have been crossing the 6,000 mAh threshold, with some models delivering astonishing screen-on yes, by itself, "faster RAM" in theleaves me cold. I'm not sitting here dreaming about shaving milliseconds off opening Instagram. But if this new RAM is thinner and more efficient, that's a different story. It could allow Samsung to squeeze in a larger battery while simultaneously reducing power that's what happens, then thewould be more than just the S25 Ultra in new clothes. It would be a flagship with an upgrade that actually changes how you live with it, even if it hides behind a spec sheet line most people would normally ignore.
