With reports of a variety of upgrades already circulating, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is quickly rising to the top of the list of anticipated smartphones for 2023. With a report that Samsung's SDI division, which is in charge of battery R&D, is planning to incorporate a new technology borrowed from the EV industry to increase capacity - both in terms of energy and size - it appears as though the device may soon become even more remarkable, as per reports. The so-called "stacked battery tech" method, which organizes the battery's cells in a special way, is claimed to increase density by 10%. This has various advantages, including making room for a smaller phone and enabling a battery with a higher capacity to fit into the same volume.

This stacked battery technology has previously been used by Audi's Q8 e-tron to fit a 114kWh battery inside, and Chinese battery manufacturer CATL has even created a 140kWh version. With this new technology, the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 5,000mAh battery might be expanded to 5,500mAh. While customers cannot be assured of the outcome, it appears that Samsung is planning to push the boundaries. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be a thrilling, potent smartphone when it is introduced later this year because of its added features, which include a new camera arrangement and a significant GPU bump for improved performance, as per reports. More information regarding the specifications of Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is becoming available as the launch date approaches. A new camera system and an enhanced GPU are among the high-tech features the phone is reported to offer.

According to the reports, Samsung's SDI business is attempting to pioneer the use of stacked battery cells in the smartphone industry. This technology has been used in the market for electric automobiles. To generate a higher-capacity battery with a higher energy density, many battery cells are stacked on top of one another. For example, the 114kWh stack battery utilized in Audi's Q8 e-tron's compact design.

A large GPU and an enhanced camera system are among the characteristics of the Galaxy S24 Ultra that have already been highly rumored. This new claim, however, suggests that the phone will have more high-tech functions than originally anticipated.
