difference between single-cell and dual-cell batteries

The most obvious difference is the full-charge voltage. The full-charge voltage of a single-cell battery is about 4.45V, while dual-cell batteries are usually connected in series, so the voltage is doubled to about 8.9V.

Overall, both single-cell and dual-cell batteries have their own advantages and disadvantages. The energy density of single-cell batteries is higher, while the fast charging performance of dual-cell batteries is better. Both solutions cannot completely replace each other, and the ultimate goal will always be long battery life, fast charging, and a better user experience.

      How high was the bitrate in this mode? The article doesnt mention it an nobody in the comment either. 150 Mbps maybe? Anybody know?

        Stacking batteries soulds like a good idea but like with everything it have its cons which will falls on durability of the device.

And more companies need to implement 10 minutes charging to 100% The phone manuf now putting two cells instead of one that's why we have ''slight'' improvement in batteries.. Maybe they will be doing 3 cells soon ..

            AnonD-1104158, 02 Aug 2023no it won't because your small battery will last only ... moreEven a battery can improve by that time.
            Look at the phones from past and look now.
            Z5 premium by Sony was a 1500 eur device capable of 4K first ever made.
            Since then we got much further.
            And even battery last longer enough.
            On a Z5 premium set to 4K your device lasted less than hour.
            We are not in that age anymore and phones of 2030 will do things which phones of 2023 cant.
