Samsung would develop a curved battery for its foldable phone

Samsung would be leading the race to manufacture foldable smartphones with the development of a curved battery that it can produce in large numbers.

The Korean conglomerate has found a way to make high-capacity batteries that can store between 3000mAh and 6,000mAh of power, reports ITHome. If the news is accurate, it would be far from the 210mAh flexible cell design that the Samsung SDI subsidiary invented four years ago.

The company is expected to launch a pilot series of flexible OLED screens; The Korean magazine ET News reports that these devices could be integrated in what is called the Galaxy X phone, which will go into production next year.

As for the display, we have heard of Samsung's attempt to create a foldable display since 2011, when it showed a prototype. At the time, the company said that the screen could be opened and closed 100,000 times before its brightness dropped by 6%.

But we still do not know what Galaxy X might look like. According to Pocketnow, key aspects of the flagship's design were undecided even in mid-April; All we heard was that the screen could consist of two screens that meet when the device is open.

The word on the street is that Samsung's collapsible device costs around $ 1900 when it launches. But it will be interesting to see if this can beat its rivals to punch, as last year's reports have suggested that Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi and ZTE are also working on similar devices.
