After a few years of lull, the global smartphone industry is once again seeingmassive amounts of innovation, withpop-up cameras,in-display fingerprint scanners, and other innovative features that promise to change the way we will use our smartphones in the days to come. While most of the recent innovations have come from Chinese vendors, South Korean tech giant, Samsung, is now expected to join the party with itsfoldable Galaxy Xdevice that’sexpected to be launched next year.

Whilemultiple leaksabout the device over the past few months have let us in on quite a few secrets, a new report byIT Homenow suggests that it may well ship with a massive 6,000mAh battery. According to the report, Samsung’s battery division Samsung SDI can now make folding batteries of between 3,000mAh and 6,000mAh in capacity, which is much higher than the puny210mAh units the company was earlier capable of.Image Courtesy: IT Home

While that doesn’t guarantee that theGalaxy X will indeed come with a massive battery, it certainly presents an interesting option for Samsung to explore. In case the company does decide to go ahead and include the 6,000mAh unit with the Galaxy X, it will not only be the largest ever found on any smartphone from the company, but will also be larger than themassive batteries often found on mid-range smartphonesfrom Chinese and Taiwanese vendors.

While Samsung is already rumored to ship theGalaxy Note 9with an impressive-sounding 4,000mAh battery, the rumored 6,000mAh unit on the upcoming Galaxy X will indeed take the cake. While there’s no official word on when the Galaxy X will be unveiled, the Galaxy Note 9 isexpected to be announcedat the upcoming ‘Unpacked’ event on August 9.
