Samsung is poised to integrate Silicon-Carbon Batteries into its upcoming smartphones, and the company has now confirmed its acquisition of Group14 Technologies for a whopping $4.5 billion.

Group14 Technologies is a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced silicon battery technology, focusing on enhancing battery performance and cost-effectiveness. The company’s expertise is expected to play a significant role in Samsung’s future battery developments.

A recent post shared by a tipster, @TheGalox_, on X revealed that Samsung has acquired Group14 for $4.5 billion, marking the company’s second-largest acquisition to date.

Earlier reports had indicated that Samsung plans to introduce Silicon Carbon Batteries in its next-generation Galaxy S26 series. Currently, the company uses traditional batteries in its smartphones and has limited the battery capacity to 5000 mAh in its flagship devices to optimize cost efficiency.

Additionally, it has been revealed that Samsung is preparing to apply All-Solid-State battery prototypes for the first time in its wearable smartring (Galaxy Ring) in Q4 2025, true wireless earphones (TWS) in Q4 2026, and smartwatches (Galaxy Watches) in Q4 2027.

These developments suggest that Samsung is actively exploring new battery technologies to enhance the long-lasting battery life of its devices, ultimately strengthening its position against competitors. It will be interesting to see how the company proceeds with implementing these new battery technologies and the timeline for their integration.
