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.

Galaxy S25 Ultra has a hidden design flaw – and it's peeling off
The Galaxy S25 Ultra on the left side, S24 Ultra on the righ side. | Image Credit – PhoneArena The Galaxy S25 series comes with a new rear camera ring design, which differentiates it from the Galaxy S24. The previous generation had a subtle ring around the cameras, but the new flagships have thicker, rubbed rings that look quite gorgeous... but have a little hidden defect, apparently. Soon after the phones were launched, it was discovered that beneath these camera rings was another set of camera rings, similar to the ones the Galaxy S24 phones rocked. Apparently, Samsung glued the new ones on top of the old ones, in a way... and it seems it may not have done a good job by gluing them, as for some people, the rings are coming off. User @parthosarathi_b on X (via SamMobile) shares that the ring on one of the cameras of their Galaxy S25 Ultra has fallen off. Of course, the device doesn't look as cool without it. The user claims the ring came off without any physical damage to the device, which, if true, is frankly terrible. Especially when you take into account the fact that the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at $1,299! According to the user post, the other camera rings are holding strong, so the problem may not be due to an engineering issue. More likely, it could be a quality control issue. Unfortunately, when the user went to the service center, the representatives didn't have spare rings to fix the fancy look of their Galaxy S25 Ultra , and an order for those was placed. Well, the user will have to wait for the delivery and then visit the service center once again to get their Ultra phone back to its former glory. Meanwhile, soon after the release of the phones, the design of the camera rings was criticized by famous YouTuber JerryRigEverything. Back then, he expected problems to arise from this design down the road, and maybe, his predictions are coming true. I would personally be quite angry if such an expensive phone like the Galaxy S25 Ultra gets "disassembled" easily. It's not something that makes the phone unusable, alright, but it's annoying, especially if you paid so much money for it... But for now, this seems to be rather an isolated problem: people on Reddit do not report encountering problems like the one above just yet. However, many do indicate the rings collect dust. Hopefully, Samsung will fix this problem with the next iteration of its premium phones, the Galaxy S26 series.

Amazon's best Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 deal just got even better, saving you a whopping $130
What's better than a $100 discount on one of the best smartwatches out there with absolutely no strings attached? How about a $100 discount and a cool freebie normally worth 30 bucks on its own? That's right, Amazon is currently slashing no less than $130 off the typical combined price of a Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy SmartTag 2, thus improving on an already amazing recent deal that allowed hardcore Samsung fans to save $110 on the same two items. GPS, Bluetooth, Aluminum Case, 1.3-Inch AMOLED Display with 432 x 432 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 300mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Cream Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 Included Buy at Amazon If you hurry, you can opt for a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 in one of two colorways in either a 40 or 44mm size with or without standalone cellular connectivity, and across the board, you'll spend 130 bucks less than usual. The complimentary Galaxy SmartTag 2 tracker for your keys, wallet, luggage, and pets, meanwhile, is only available in black as part of this sweet new bundle promotion, natively supporting Galaxy phones and tablets powered by Android 11 or up. After all, we're talking about a Wear OS timepiece capable of potentially saving your life with super-advanced tools like ECG, fall detection, and Emergency SOS while also allowing you to understand your body better with a Galaxy AI-powered Energy Score and a so-called BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) sensor that measures your weight, body fat, and muscle mass directly from your wrist. Just in case that doesn't sound fancy and complex enough to warrant a purchase at this huge new discount, remember that the Galaxy Watch 7 also comes with a stunning circular AMOLED touchscreen, as well as industry-leading long-term software support, a snappy Exynos W1000 processor under its hood, and... not-so-great battery life because you obviously can't have it all at two Benjamins and up.
