Samsung, in a recent company seminar,
detailed its plans to offer denser and
slimmer batteries along with some
improved camera sensors in its future
devices. The plans would eventually help
the firm to deliver slimmer and much
improved smartphones and tablets in th
market. Samsung also announced that
most of the technologies mentioned will
be seen reaching markets by 2017.
The South Korean smartphone maker is
currently working on batteries with energ
density of 700Wh/l (watt-hours per litre)
and will progress to 750Wh/l by next
year and to 780Wh/l by 2017, as
reported by Chinese websites (via
SamMobile). If the technology comes to
life, Samsung would be able to create
slimmer batteries with a similar density t
today's models, or alternatively, batterie
with higher capacities if their dimensions
remain the same.
Besides improving the overall density of
mobile batteries, Samsung added that it
is also working on improving its fast
charging technology. While the Galaxy 6
can charge up to 76 percent in 40
minutes using its fast charging
technology, according to a test done by
Droid Life, the firm in the seminar said it
aims to make the technology charge a
device up to 80 percent within 30
minutes.
As for the camera, Samsung said it is
working on developing RWB (Red White
Blue) camera sensors, which will offer
"better colour fidelity" for images. Talkin
about sensors, the firm's upcoming
devices will sport a smaller pixel size of
micron from the current 1.12 microns.
This, Samsung says, will allow it create
camera sensors 23 percent thinner than
the current ones, bringing the thickness
from 6.5mm to 5mm for a 16-megapixel
sensor, and from 5.2mm to 4.5mm for a
13-megapixel sensor. Company is also
being said to use pixel binning tech,
which Nokia and Sony use for better
image quality.
