For many years, smartphones have used lithium-ion batteries, which require daily charging sessions and force frequent travellers to keep a powerbank in their handbags. Now, the situation is changing with the adoption of silicon-carbon batteries, which are a major incremental advancement in cellphone batteries. Companies like OnePlus, Motorola, iQOO and more are using this new battery technology in some phones, without making phones bulky.

These cells can handle fast charging ranging up to 120W. The new batteries tend to heat less and offer more support for charge cycles.
