TDK to Launch New Batteries to Power Thinner AI Smartphones
TDK, a company that makes batteries, is releasing new ones that are designed for smartphones that use AI.
These batteries are made with a special material called silicon, which allows them to hold more power in a smaller space.
This is good news for phone makers like Apple and Samsung, who are trying to make their phones thinner.
The new batteries will be ready to ship soon, and TDK is also building a new factory in India to make more of them.
TDK expects that more phones will be made this year than last year, despite some potential problems with trade.
TDK is releasing new silicon-anode batteries for thinner AI-powered smartphones.
The new batteries can pack 15% more energy than conventional ones.
Apple and Samsung are major TDK customers, each accounting for about 10% of revenue.
TDK is establishing a new battery factory in India, set to open in September.
TDK anticipates a 1% growth in global smartphone production this year.
