They don’t want to take ANY risk with batteries. Don’t ask them why…
But honestly, Fold 7 is definitely one of the most impressive phone I’ve ever seen.
Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoThat makes a lot of sense. Samsung’s displays are also quite good too.
I still find it strange that they’re not trying to develop SiC batteries though, esp. for their foldables and thin “Edge” puone

They probably are. But, this problem is also much larger for them than for other players. Oneplus is estimated to have sold 10 million phones over a one year. Samsung sold 4 times that number of s24 alone. If the suppliers can’t provide that level of manufacturing then they have to build the supply chain themselves, and that takes a lot of time, R&D and money.
