Pic related is a graphene battery by Samsung.
>45% increase in capacity
>5x charging speed
And this is for 1st generation. When we reach gen 3 graphene batteries we can expect up to 500% capacity increase and nearly instantaneous charging
Why is no one talking about this? And you call yourselves a technology board

It isn't safe so nobody uses it.

Yeah, we've been talking about it for a decade and it still isn't everywhere. We know it's a fantastic material.
What? It's orders of magnitude safer than lithium-ion batteries
Wake me up when we can produce graphene on an industrial scale
>Our research enables mass synthesis of multifunctional composite material graphene at an affordable price. At the same time, we were able to considerably enhance the capabilities of lithium-ion batteries in an environment where the markets for mobile devices and electric vehicles is growing rapidly.

The researchers say that they'll be able to mass produce it, and they filed for applications or some shit. Doesn't look like a happening quite yet.

Until there's a factory pumping out usable cells this doesn't really mean anything.
Even then they would have to be cheap enough to go into a flagship phone, and have a means to become cheap enough to go into midrange stuff.
Plus you'd probably have to redesign the power delivery system of most phones to account for different voltage ranges.
What's a graphene battery's nominal discharge voltage anyway?
You can literally cut it in half without any danger to you or your surroundings and the half battery will still work. But to demonstrate how much safer lipo is please cut in half a nice big charged lipo battery on stream so I can laugh about your face getting disfigured.
