Samsung already has its graphene batteries ready for 2019

It was yesterday when on this same website we launched an article with five predictions of mobile characteristics for 2019. Among those five, one was that of graphene batteries, which would arrive with the Honor Magic 2. In that article we mentioned some of Its advantages: greater capacity in less space, less degree of degradation and so on. It has not been more than 24 hours since its publication and now one of the sources closest to Samsung confirms that the company already has the first graphene batteries for its 2019 phones ready.

Samsung's graphene battery could come with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or Galaxy S11

After years of rumors about graphene and its use in cell phone batteries, it seems that light is finally beginning to appear along the way. Honor has been the first to make a move in this regard, and Samsung seems to be the next. At least that's what the well-known SamsungMobile.News Twitter account says, famous for its reliability when it comes to rumor leaks.

As we can read in the tweet above, Samsung would already have the design of its graphene batteries ready. This does not mean that these batteries are ready to be launched on the market. In fact its implementation is not expected for the Samsung Galaxy S10, but rather for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy S11. Its integration in the S10 is not ruled out either, although it is most likely that it will end up being released with the Note 10 or subsequent devices of the brand. For now we have to wait for new leaks to confirm this information.

These are all the advantages of graphene batteries

At the beginning of the article we mentioned some of the advantages of this type of battery, and the truth is that the characteristics of this substance make graphene a better raw material than lithium. Among its many virtues, we find the following:

• It allows a higher charging speed (up to 4 or 5 times more than a lithium one)
• Your cells degrade more slowly
• It is able to maintain the charge of its electrons for longer
• Can hold more cargo in a smaller size
• Its impact on the environment is less than other types of substances

But not everything are advantages. As you may have imagined, dealing with this type of substance today is more expensive than doing it with lithium or lithium ion. Its behavior is still unknown with the passage of time, and few are the real applications that graphene has had in batteries. This is the reason why its implementation could be delayed until the Note 10 or the S11.
