He Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge He has just come to the market. It is a telephone that presumes finishes and whose main argument is in an ultra -launch design that differentiates it from your family brothers Galaxy S25. The problem? Miracles do not exist, and having less space for components translates into a smaller battery.
The only solution to get less size to have a decent battery density is to bet on the Silicon-carbona technology that Samsung has not implemented in its EDGE. Result? A high range with 6.7 inches and 3,900mah, A countercurrent movement of the industry.
One day of use. Despite the little battery capacity, Samsung promises that its Galaxy S25 Edge will last a day without too many problems. The problem here is that, for a while to this part, the rest of the manufacturers have been obsessed that their phones last more than a day. In fact, today a day of intensive use is a somewhat poor figure.
Devices like him Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, iPhone 16 Pro Maxand virtually any high range from China reaches two days of use or, at least, the day and a half with intensive use.
There are no miracles in optimization. The phones They are increasingly powerfulits processors are comfortable between the three and the four nanometers and we have been with optimizations in each of the telephone components to minimize energy consumption.
But the new bright screens consume energy, the Snapdragon 8 Elite It is something swallow, and have a phone with the ability to record 8K, execute games in maximum resolution at 120 Hz and, ultimately, to pull with everything, spend drums.
A countercurrent. 10,000mahit is what has managed to introduce real to a phone with a habitual thickness. Honor already has phones with batteries of 8,000mahand this year it has been clear that even the old 5,000mah barrier begins to fall short. Speaking an Android phone with 3,900Mah is risky, a lot.
We are facing a change of generation in batteries. That day and a half is about to become a new scarce figure, and that is that with the democratization of batteries close to 10,000mAh we will have better autonomies than ever. Silicon-carbon is still a face and incipient technology, but China is squeezing to turn it into the standard of its phones.
The solution. Xiaomi herself told us that some of its mobiles land with less battery in Europe with respect to China for a simple reason: The costs. These gigantic batteries are not economical, and manufacturers like Samsung bet on traditional technology to contain the price of their devices.
Despite this, the only alternative to view if the ultradelgated phones want to succeed is to bet on silicon-carbon, even if necessary to cut in other specifications.
Can. The ultra-of the mobile with good battery exists, and we have examples in the Tecno Spark Slim. 5.75mm for a 5.200MAH battery phone. It is an exception, yes, but it is the proof that it is possible to launch phones with large batteries and record thicknesses.
They are not alone. The next stone on the road to the ultra-decaded mobiles will put Apple with its iPhone 17 Air. A phone that, except miracle, will also land with a traditional battery of a fairly content size.
