Solid State Batteries to Replace Lithium-ion Batteries by Samsung

First application of the solid state batteries would be in Samsung smartphones. However, solid state batteries for electric cars would be furbished till 2025 because of strict safety constraints.

Solid state batteries for smartphones technological level would be mature in 1-2 years, but it isn’t sure if the Samsung Electronics will use it in their smartphones or not, also warned by the anonymous executive.

Primary benefit of using these batteries would be lower risk of batteries to catch fire or to get exploded because they would be made from solid state rather liquid electrolytes. This is something which is getting Samsung attention after the Galaxy Note 7 havoc situation.
