Samsung to Use 'New Battery Technology' to Give Galaxy S26 Edge a Bigger Battery, Thinner Design
SOUTH KOREA, JUL 23 – Samsung plans to offer two Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chip variants for the Galaxy S26, including a cheaper Samsung-made version to help lower device costs, leakers say.
- On July 23, 2025, leaker @UniverseIce revealed that the Galaxy S26 Edge will be slimmer compared to the S25 Edge and will incorporate a larger battery made possible by advanced battery material technology.
- This development follows industry trends where silicon-carbon batteries, used by some Chinese vendors, enable higher capacity in slimmer designs, prompting Samsung and Apple to innovate competitively.
- Samsung has not finalized the processor for the Galaxy S26 series, but rumors suggest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chips from both Samsung and TSMC, with Samsung's being cheaper yet potentially less performant.
- The Galaxy S26 Ultra will support charging power exceeding 45W, while the S26 Edge aims for a chassis slimmer than 5.8 mm and a battery larger than the current 3,900 mAh capacity.
- These advancements could help Samsung maintain competitive pricing and performance against Apple's upcoming ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, released in September with a smaller battery of 2,800 mAh.
