Silicon-carbon battery
A silicon-carbon battery stores more energy at the same size than a conventional lithium-ion battery. That lets larger batteries fit into thin housings.
What does Silicon-carbon battery mean?
The difference lies in the anode, one of the two poles of the battery. Instead of being made of graphite alone, it is made of a mixture with silicon. Silicon can take up significantly more lithium, which makes the battery denser.
For you, that means more battery life without the device getting thicker or heavier. This makes a noticeable difference especially with foldables and very slim smartphones.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
