Samsung Prepares New Battery Technology For Wearables

Technology company Samsung is preparing new battery technology for the wearables ecosystem consisting of the Galaxy Watch, Buds, and Ring. 

Reported by 9 to 5 Google, Monday (1/4), this new battery technology is believed to have better energy density. 

The batteries that will be embedded are solid-state and will start with the Galaxy Ring which is being prepared for release at the end of the year. 

This battery is said to achieve higher energy density and a more flexible shape, the report explains, through the use of solid electrolytes compared to liquid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. 

The solid-state battery developed by Samsung has an energy density of around 200Wh/L, but Samsung is apparently working on an improved version that reaches 360Wh/L. 

Samsung reportedly plans to use this updated battery in the upcoming Galaxy Buds as early as 2026, and in the Galaxy Watch as early as 2027. 

Although there are concerns about the financial feasibility of using this technology. 

Samsung has not directly confirmed this, but the company did tease in early 2025 that it would invest in a mass production facility for battery technology. 

The Galaxy Ring featuring this improved battery technology is said to be coming in Q4 2024.
