The sheer thinness of the Galaxy S25 Edge meant that Samsung’s engineers had to resort to some clever thinking, which was also accompanied by more than a few compromises. As you might have noticed, the sleek flagship does not ship with a telephoto camera and lacks a particularly large battery. Fortunately, a company executive has addressed this concern in the latest interview, stating that agentic AI helps to improve the smartphone’s efficiency to the point that silicon-carbon cells are not required. However, there is only so much Samsung can achieve with software, as beyond that, the hardware upgrades become necessary.
The use of silicon-carbon technology is said to be tested by Samsung, with a previous rumor claiming that the company would apply it to the Galaxy S26 Ultra
Speaking with Tom’s Hardware, Blake Gaiser, the director of smartphone product management at Samsung Electronics America, was asked about the Galaxy S25 Edge’s meager 3,900mAh battery below, which was one of the trade-offs that was necessary to make the flagship measure 5.8mm in thickness. Samsung could have easily adopted silicon-carbon battery technology like several of its Chinese competitors, but chose against this approach, with the company’s executive stating that the use of agentic AI helps to improve the Galaxy S25 Edge’s efficiency.
“Samsung’s always looking at every new emerging technology that’s out there. So it’s something that we’re definitely not keeping our eyes off of. But with that new chipset, with agentic AI helping with performance and efficiencies of these batteries, we really felt that going with our traditional lithium-ion battery was the right move for this device.”
It is possible that Samsung introduces a silicon-carbon battery to the Galaxy S26 Edge next year, as the company has previously been rumored to be exploring this technology. The word on the street was that if these cells were applied to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, its capacity could be increased to a mammoth 7,000mAh. The South Korean behemoth is also working on solid-state batteries, but those are said to be applied to its smartwatches, earbuds, and smart rings from the fourth quarter of 2025.
After reading what the Samsung executive has to say about the Galaxy S25 Edge, if you are more than satisfied with those remarks, Amazon is running a solid promotion where you can purchase the slim flagship with up to 512GB storage and $170 in savings that includes a $50 gift card, but you have to hurry because this deal is not going to last forever. The offer is applicable for all three colors, and you get a one-year limited warranty on all variants.
