Most smartphone technologies advance at a rapid pace – chipsets, displays, cameras and so on. All except battery capacity, which increases at a snail’s pace. Honor thinks it has found a solution – the industry’s first silicon-carbon battery.
It promises 12.8% higher energy density compared to current lithium batteries that use graphite for one of the electrodes (the anode). To put that in more concrete terms, the Honor Magic5 Pro has a standard 5,100mAh battery. If it used a silicon-carbon battery instead, it would have had 5,450mAh capacity.
