At trade shows around the world, StoreDot is showing off the Samsung Galaxy S6 with a modified battery and charging port which enabled the device to charge from 10% to 100% in 5 minutes and 25 seconds. This solution isn’t simply faster; the chemistry within the battery is a new generation of lithium-ion technology, which sets it apart from companies pursuing similar avenues to solve the battery inconvenience.
Possibly one of the most impressive features is how the charger manages heat. At Nexcopy we manage temperatures between components to keep products safe and durable throughout their use, so we can appreciate solid thermal decorum when we see it. These new batteries aim to ensure your phone is never hot to the touch during or after a charging session, and it does so with modifications to the connector itself. This, however, means there isn’t simply a wire between the phone and the charger, but rather a solid, wall-mounted charger unit.
What does this mean for the industry? The technology is alive and well to make charge times negligible. The delay will be in the coordination needed to make the improvement mainstream. There has to be a suitable connection port to enable top-speed charging, and a StoreDot 150W charger is required to reach these speeds. Most notably, Samsung has invested alongside other interested parties, so eliminating the wait time of charging could be a thing of the past in the next generation of smartphones.
