Samsung will keep using heat pipes in 2018, 2019 might bring vapor chambers

17 November 2017
Vapor chambers are more efficient but are too bulky for phones right now.

And definitely would not have to be 500g or more.

And actually way more people would in fact be perfectly fine with the size and weight. Especially after realizing how much better the device and battery is.

    So you point makes it but theirs still stands.

The stock battery doesn't have to be 10 000mAh so it wouldn't be >20mm thick. 4000mAh is enough, but the battery has to be removable. And if the battery is removable, those who want should be able to replace the stock battery to a higher capacity 10 000mAh one.

                          They are non-sense at such thickness. Heat pipes make some sense and that's it.

                              I guess it will solve the problem of how the the Samsung was not allowed on the aircraft's because they thought it would blow up. It even ended up that I was about to miss the plane because of the plane.

                                Samsung Note 8 explode because the battery fault, but why Samsung refurbish and reduce the battery capacity?! I think the problems is the CEO whose leading the engineers to do the bigger battery in. So the problem is not the heat dissipation, it is the bad decision from the greedy CEO!!
