If past years are anything to go by, the flagship phones launching this year should offer great battery life. The iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra offer great battery efficiencies that lead to improved battery life.
Their predecessors should feature even more energy-efficient components, which could improve battery life even without big battery capacity changes. Chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the upcoming A19 processors should greatly help.
The improved efficiency of internal components will allow Samsung and Apple to launch ultra-thin devices like the Galaxy S25 Slim and the iPhone 17 Air. These phones will feature smaller batteries, but they should still offer decent battery life. Neither Samsung nor Apple would consider offering buyers such devices otherwise.
But come next year, smartphone vendors like Samsung and Apple might need new battery tech breakthroughs to continue improving battery life aside from even more efficient chips and components.
Samsung SDI is already working on such technology. If this year's pilot is successful, the company plans to start manufacturing new batteries for small gadgets next year.
The company is testing stacked battery designs for phones like the Galaxy S and the iPhone. The battery technology has been used in EV battery design to improve energy density.
If successful, this battery tech might make it to next year's Galaxy S26 and iPhone 18 flavors.
