How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?

Where would you drive in your phone, bro? Don't be silly.

Based on the article they are more expensive than li-ion batteries (for now), so probably not yet. And the article doesn't mention anything about this, but I imagine there would be scaling issues.

Do you know how big and heavy that phone would be with a car battery in it?

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yeah but imagine the screen size though

A couple of these would be perfect for my flight sim!

If it doesn’t fold into eighths I’m not interested

Especially if the battery is 600 miles long like the title says.

I don't think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.

SSB can be a quite a lot denser compared to existing ones. Up to 2.5x if I recall correctly. Also less flammable. Edit: consider -> compared
