Samsung shows off flexible, bendable wire batteries for smartwatches and wearables
Samsung has shown off some new battery tech that we could start seeing in smartwatches and wearable tech in the next few years. The battery is unique in that it features a wire shape that’s extremely flexible, which should theoretically maximize the amount of juice a device can hold that takes up all of the available space in a watch face or wristband. Samsung claims this could result in up to 50% better battery life.
The company really put the battery technology through its paces by bending it 50,000 times. Even after all of that abuse, they still functioned as batteries, which is extremely impressive. Samsung even had a prototype smartwatch that utilized the wire battery effectively, so this technology isn’t incredibly far off.
With how fast and effective processors are, even in wearable devices like smartwatches, battery technology is the next market that stands to make the biggest impact on mobile devices. After all, nobody likes charging all of their devices every single night.
