Samsung SDI is reportedly testing a massive dual-cell silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery with a combined capacity of 20,000mAh, signaling early efforts to dramatically increase battery sizes for future smartphones and portable devices. However, the technology is not yet ready for mass deployment at Samsung. As a result, Samsung is expected to continue using conventional lithium-ion batteries for its near-term flagship devices, including the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is still rumored to retain a battery capacity of around 5,000mAh. While the test underscores Samsung SDI’s long-term ambitions in next-generation battery technology, significant engineering hurdles remain before such high-capacity silicon-carbon batteries can safely reach consumer smartphones. The much awaited Omnia i900 from Samsung (see specs here) was released in the Philippines yesterday. While everybody is getting frustrated with the supposed Globe iPhone 3G pricing, the Samsung Omnia will definitely be a formidable alternative to the former. The rumored new Samsung i8510 that tows in an 8-megapixel camera and a 16GB internal storage becomes official. This new Samsung i8510 phone will be named Innovate or Innov8.
