Revolutionary Battery Tech to Power Samsung Smartwatches in 2025
Samsung’s next-generation smartwatches are poised to leap ahead with cutting-edge battery technology, leaving competitors scrambling to catch up. Samsung Electro-Mechanics CEO Chang Duk-hyun hinted at this game-changer during a CES 2025 press conference.
Chang unveiled plans to introduce a prototype of Samsung’s ultra-compact, all-solid-state battery by the end of 2025. This innovation, dubbed the “dream battery,” is tailored for wearable devices, offering energy density on par with lithium-ion batteries but in a far more efficient form. For Samsung Galaxy watches, which have often struggled to last more than a day without sacrificing size, this could mark a monumental leap.
“We have secured energy density and capacity characteristics at the industry-leading level,” Chang said, as reported by the Korea Herald. “Since this is a novel technology, there are unknowns until mass production begins, but we have conducted extensive internal testing and are in discussions with clients.”
Mass production is slated for 2026, potentially transforming the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 into a frontrunner in the smartwatch arena. With a full app store and extended battery life, the Watch 9 could redefine multiday usage, surpassing the current 2-3-day benchmarks set by devices like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and apple Watch Ultra 2.
