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.

Samsung is working on two new pairs of more affordable TWS earbuds
Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds FE in 2023 as its most affordable pair of TWS earbuds, and we've recently heard that they would be succeeded by the Galaxy Buds Core that are currently in development. Today the existence of the Galaxy Buds Core has been confirmed through a deep dive into the code of the latest Galaxy Buds Controller app for Wear OS. But, intriguingly, they're not the only affordable earbuds Samsung has in the pipeline. The Galaxy Buds3 FE are also coming, and so the Korean company's roster of earbuds will soon double in size. The Buds3 and Buds3 Pro will definitely still sit at the top of this food chain, with the Galaxy Buds Core being the cheapest, according to today's source. So the Galaxy Buds3 FE should then slot in between the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds3. There's certainly a lot of appetite across the world for good cheap TWS earbuds, and Samsung seems to have finally noticed. While we can't tell for sure when the new earbuds will be announced, Samsung's next Unpacked event is taking place in July, where it's unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 along with the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic. So perhaps that would be the best place for these new buds to make their debut as well. Source

Samsung Foundry needs yield to hit 70% on 2nm node to finalize Galaxy S26 AP specs
Despite Samsung Foundry's 2nm trials showing yields in the 30% range, Sammy's latest application processor (AP), the Exynos 2600, is now reportedly going through prototype mass production using Samsung Foundry's 2nm GAA process node. Some of the company's units, such as its LSI chip design arm, and the aforementioned Samsung Foundry division, are hard at work seeking to improve yields. Low yields mean that only a small number of dies cut from a silicon wafer pass through QA and are deemed usable. The smaller the yield, the more expensive are the chips that survive the manufacturing process. Look at it this way. A baker bakes 100 cookies and only 30 come out edible. The cost to bake those 100 cookies can be split among 30 cookies only. If 75 cookies come out of the baking process without any defects, the cost of production is now divided by 75 reducing the cost. At the start of this year, Samsung Foundry's yield for 2nm trials was 30%. Since May, the foundry has been targeting a 50% yield and it must rise to 70% in order to make it worthwhile for Samsung Foundry to mass produce the Exynos 2600 at a 2nm process node. Not only does it seem that the Exynos 2600 will be one of the first APs to be built at 2nm, it will also be among the first to use Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors. GAA transistors cover the channel on all four sides reducing current leakage and improving the drive current. Thus chips using GAA have improved performance while being more energy-efficient. Once Samsung is done with the mass production of the Exynos 2600 prototypes, it will start risk production while the foundry works on improving its yield. Official mass production of the Exynos 2600 AP could start in December or January just months before the expected February release of the Galaxy S26 series. The Exynos 2600 is expected to be equipped with 10 CPU cores. If Samsung Foundry can hike its 2nm yields to 70% we could see the Exynos 2600 power the Galaxy S26 , and the Galaxy S26 + in Europe, and depending on yields, in other regions outside of the U.S., Canada, and China. In those three markets, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 AP, built by TSMC using its 3nm node, will be under the hood of the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy A26+ models. In all regions, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 AP.
