The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has dropped in price, making it cheaper than buying a phone and a tablet separately. Here's why you'd want a foldable instead of two separate screens.

Stylus support could give Samsung an edge when Apple launches its first foldable sometime next year.

Samsung has developed a new type of battery called a Silicon-Carbon (Si-C) battery, but it’s not for phones. Many people have been waiting for Samsung to put this battery in Galaxy smartphones because Si-C batteries can last longer and charge faster than normal lithium-ion batteries. However, even the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will still use a regular lithium-ion battery.

The new Silicon-Carbon battery is not for phones or tablets. It is created for electric vehicles (EVs). Samsung’s battery division, Samsung SDI, has joined hands with KG Mobility, a South Korean car company, to make advanced battery packs for future electric cars.

These batteries use Samsung SDI’s 46-series cylindrical cells. They include high-nickel NCA cathodes and a special silicon-carbon anode developed by Samsung. The aim is to make batteries more powerful, safer, and longer-lasting for electric vehicles.

This battery reduces swelling, which is a common problem in batteries over time. It also has a tabless design, which allows electricity to flow more efficiently. This improves performance and enables faster charging for electric cars. The battery also has better heat management. 

The new battery packs will be used in KG Mobility’s next-generation electric cars. Samsung SDI and KG Mobility have signed an agreement to continue working together on future battery technologies. Stay tuned for more information.

There's never been a better time to buy a smartphone camera, and there's never been a better time for Samsung to rethink the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
