Smartphone battery technologies have remained almost the same for the last decade, and they suck. So today, let’s find out what technologies might be waiting for the mobile industry in the future.

Smartphone Battery Technologies: A Brighter Future

Smartphone battery these days suck, but it won’t be long until we see better technologies. And surprisingly, some of them have already been commercialized. So, here’s the list of top 4 smartphone battery technologies of the future that is available today. First, Water Battery. Simply put, this battery can be recharged by being topped-up with water. This has not been commercialized yet but in theory, water battery could have 40 times the capacity of a normal battery.

The second technology is Bioo Plant Battery. Bioo is a battery that generates electricity from photosynthesis and is available for only $100. While the output is not high, it is possible to recharge your phone with this battery. Foldable Battery is the third technology on our list. A Korean company called Jenax has made an actual fodable battery, making bendable gadget and smart clothing possible. Their website lists all the tests and results, so you can give them a visit if you want to find out more about this technology.

The last (but not least) technology is the Skin Battery. Skin batteries generate electricity by tapping into friction generated by contact between a device and human skin. This technology has been applied in many products, including medical and science. One of its application in the smartphone industry is wearable device. Just slap a device with this battery on your skin and start using it.

Smartphone Battery Technologies: When will these available on our phones?

Well, these technologies are still too expensive for a normal mobile device. We guess they would not be wildly available until a few more years. So now, you will just have to live with your “supposed smartphone” and wait for a while.
