TL;DR

Samsung is reportedly testing silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S27 range, after debuting them in its new foldables.

A leaker claims that these batteries might only deliver 10% more capacity than the Galaxy S26 series.

There’s also a chance that the vanilla Galaxy S27 misses out on this new battery tech.

Samsung has finally embraced silicon-carbon batteries, as its new foldable phones all have this technology . We’re expecting the Galaxy S27 range to adopt this new solution as well, and a Korean tipster may have revealed more details about Samsung’s plans.

Tipster Lanzuk ( @yeux1122 ) reports that Samsung is currently testing silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S27 series . Don’t expect gigantic batteries in these new phones, though. The company hasn’t apparently decided on a final battery capacity for these phones just yet, but it’s believed that they could be 10% larger. That means the Galaxy S27 Ultra might have a 5,500mAh battery.
