I think the problem here is manufacturers really need to find safer, more energy dense batteries - I have a feeling that we have reached the limits of lithium ion batteries. It's even scarier that my laptop battery has a battery capacity that is even smaller than the Note5. icon_idea.gif

Essentially the problem is Samsung attempts to go for a non-compromise design (adds water/dustproofing, SD expansion, curved screen... and making the device even narrower sweat.gif ) and little they didn't realize they are messing with physics. Eventually physics began to rear its ugly head and the battery literally combusts into flames. sweat.gif

An analogy would be trying to put 10 people in a Kancil sweat.gif

This article pretty much tells the whole story:

There are already a lot of new battery technology few years ago that can replace Lithium Ion, some even can charge in few seconds to have hours of battery life, and some don't even wear out, nor explodes.

It still takes time for them to be "mainstream", we will have to wait.

...and it needs to be cost-effective and widely adopted as well. icon_idea.gif

Lets just hope we all get TouchWiz with Nougat before 2017, which is what Samsung promised us.

The benchmarks have been leaked - so that means it should be coming real soon. brows.gif

Also I hope that someone leaks the test firmware for Nougat brows.gif
