Samsung has announced the development of the world’s first small solid-state battery designed for wearable devices, after three years of research and development. According to “TechGines,” the new battery features an energy density of up to 200 watt-hours per liter, which is significantly higher than traditional lithium-ion batteries.
Reports indicate that Samsung has successfully created a prototype for this ultra-small solid-state battery, which is capable of overcoming current size limitations. The battery is currently undergoing testing with selected clients, and if everything proceeds as planned, mass production is expected to begin by 2026.
These new batteries are considered a safer alternative because they contain solid, non-flammable electrolytes, making them more resistant to external shocks. Samsung plans to initially install these batteries in devices such as the Galaxy Watch, with the potential to produce them in different sizes according to customer needs.
In addition to safety benefits, solid-state batteries offer more flexibility in terms of size and applications, as they can be produced in sizes ranging from millimeters to centimeters, making them suitable for a wide range of wearable devices and small electronics.
