Samsung launched the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge with a 3,900mAh battery this year. Rumors suggested that its successor might feature a bigger cell and even adopt a silicon-carbon battery. However, fresh information confirms that Samsung is not making that switch yet, and the Galaxy S26 Edge will continue with a lithium-ion battery.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S26 Edge sticks with a lithium-ion battery, as revealed by a new certification. The component, with part number EB-BS947ABY, has been cleared by China\u2019s 3C authority. This approval also gives us a look at the final capacity numbers.<\/p>\n
The rated capacity is 4,078mAh, which Samsung will officially market as 4,200mAh. This figure has been rumored several times, and now it\u2019s confirmed. For customers waiting for a larger battery before upgrading, this should be welcome news.<\/p>\n
Despite earlier speculation, the listing confirms that the phone won\u2019t feature a silicon-carbon battery. Instead, Samsung is sticking to tried-and-tested lithium-ion technology. While silicon-carbon could allow for higher capacities without increasing the phone\u2019s thickness, Samsung has decided not to make that leap yet.<\/p>\n
The Edge lineup is all about slimness, so it seemed like the perfect candidate for such a change. But Samsung may be playing it safe, focusing on reliability and consistency rather than rushing into a new battery type.<\/p>\n
Compared to the 3,900mAh cell inside the Galaxy S25 Edge, the Galaxy S26 Edge gets a modest bump to 4,200mAh. That means more usage time while keeping the slim design intact.<\/p>\n
For now, Samsung appears to be delaying the move to silicon-carbon batteries. It\u2019s likely that the technology will arrive later, once the company is confident about mass adoption, safety, and performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
