Learn about different types of batteries and how battery tech is changing, here!

Smartphones today have increasingly powerful batteries while becoming smaller and sleeker with each new generation. One contributing factor to this remarkable advancement is silicon-carbon batteries. In this article, we will explore this battery type and how it compares to conventional lithium-ion batteries.

What is a battery?

At its core, a battery is a device that stores and releases energy through electrochemical reactions. When an external device is connected to the battery, charged ions flow from the anode (the negative terminal, which stores energy) to the cathode (the positive terminal) through the electrolyte, creating an electric current.

working of battery

Battery Types

Most smartphones, smartwatches, and laptops today are powered by lithium-ion batteries, which mostly use graphite-based anodes. Likewise, Silicon-carbon batteries, sometimes abbreviated as Si/C, share the basic operating principles of lithium-ion batteries but with a key difference; the anode material is made from silicon carbon instead of traditional graphite. On the third of the list, we have Sodium-ion. They use Sodium (Na) as the charge carrier which makes it cheaper but with a shorter life cycle and lower energy density making it the least preferred option in the battery category.

Silicon carbon, Lithium-Ion, and Sodium-Ion Batteries

As I have mentioned previously, the main difference between silicon-carbon and lithium-ion batteries lies in the anode material.

Silicon-carbon anodes can provide up to 10 times more capacity than graphite anodes. This improvement arises because of the difference in chemical properties between the two compounds. Graphite stores lithium ions through intercalation where ions nestle between graphite layers with a specific capacity of 372 mAh/g. In contrast, silicon stores lithium ions through alloying, a process in which silicon reacts with lithium to form lithium-silicon (Li-Si) compounds. This chemical reaction allows silicon to achieve a much higher capacity, up to 4,000 mAh/g. And just like that, Sodium-ion batteries store Na ions in the host materials through intercalation. These batteries have the least energy density compared to the other two batteries, around 160 mAh/g.

silicon vs lithium battery

How battery tech is changing?

With time, we can see battery tech changing especially for portable electronics and electronic vehicles. The most significant change in recent years has been the development of (Si/C) anodes to replace the traditional graphite nodes in Lithium-ion batteries. Although still less popular than Li-ion and Si/C batteries, sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a potential alternative, particularly in cost-sensitive applications as sodium is more abundant and cheaper than the other two. They are used in stationary applications such as grid-scale power stations and modes of transport that do not require traveling long distances such as electric scooters or electric buses.

Batteries for Electronic Vehicles (EVs)

While smartphone and consumer electronics battery technologies grab a lot of attention, the biggest changes in battery tech are happening in the electric vehicle. As batteries with higher energy densities are developed, electric vehicles will be able to go longer distances on a single charge. This will make them more competitive with traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. The adoption of Si/C could be a game changer in this area.

Use of batteries in EVs

Hype of Si/C batteries

Silicon Carbon batteries are rapidly becoming popular in the tech industry for some good reasons. They offer greater resistance to cold temperatures because carbon helps boost ion flow, reducing internal resistance and ensuring efficient charge/ discharge at lower temperatures.

Moreover, a silicon-based battery of the same size as a lithium-ion battery can store significantly more energy, due to silicon’s much higher energy density compared to traditional graphite anodes. This reduces the size of smartphones or any other electronic devices making them more preferable. Not just that, because silicon has higher conductivity and a larger surface area enabling quicker lithium-ion insertion and extraction, Si/C can even charge faster.

Smartphones using Silicon-carbon batteries

Silicon batteries are becoming a key feature in flagship and mid-range smartphones. While this technology has yet to make its way into budget phones, there is optimism that it will soon be available in more affordable devices.

Benco V92 launched in Nepal with Dynamic Island like Smart Window

Benco is launching new smartphones back-to-back in the Nepali market. Just two months after launching the Benco V91 Plus, the company introduced the V92. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the specifications of Benco V92 including price in Nepal and availability details.

Benco V92 Overview

Design and Display

The Benco V92 features a rough leather finish in dual tones. This makes it look a tad more premium than what one might usually credit it for. On the back, you’ll find a round camera island housing two cameras and an LED flash somewhat resembling the midrange Realme 11 Pro from a few years back.

Benco V92 Design

For the display, the phone showcases a 6.72-inch FHD+ display, with a 90.55% screen-to-body ratio and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The company seems a lot inspired by Apple because previously the back of the Benco V91 Plus was very similar to the latest iPhones and now the phone features Smart Window similar to iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

Smart Window feature in Benco

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Benco V92 is powered by the Unisoc T606 Octa-Core processor, featuring dual Cortex A75 cores and other Cortex A55 cores. While it is an entry-level chip, the T606 should fare just fine using some social media, smoothly navigating the UI, and making phone calls. Gaming might be a little out of the question here but you’d definitely boot up some casual titles like Subway Surfers or Candy Crush!

Unisoc T606 ProcessorThe phone comes in multiple memory configurations: 6GB/128GB, 6/256GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB, with all configurations supporting virtual RAM expansion and up to 2TB of expandable storage via microSD.

Additionally, the device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery with the support of 18W Type-C fast charging. It should provide you with all-day battery life for social media scrolling or clicking pictures or even last a couple extra days if you’re a light user. Top-up will be relatively quick too thanks to that fast charging support and you can expect a full charge in just a few short hours.

Camera and Extras

For optics, the Benco V92 packs a 32MP front camera and on the back, there is a dual-camera setup featuring a 50MP primary camera with a large f/1.79 aperture, along with a 8MP ultra-wide and macro lens. Although it might not be as apparent, you can shoot ultrawide photos from this device by going to the ‘More’ options in the app and selecting ‘Ultrawide’.

benco V92 camera and battery

Furthermore, the V92 runs on Android 14 but there’s no information about promised number of upgrades. It is available in Sahara Gold and Space Black colors, the former of which would be my personal pick because of that leather back. There’s a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.

How to know if an Instagram video is boosted? Find here!

Instagram is one of those apps where you can share literally anything (as long as it does not violate the guidelines, ofc). I mean snap a picture, record a video, and boom share it with the world. But have you ever noticed how some posts seem to get way more attention than others? Maybe it’s because they’re genuinely great, or maybe it’s because they’ve got a little extra boost behind them. In this article, we’re diving into the topic of “How to know if an Instagram video is boosted”.

Why Boost Instagram Videos?

There are plenty of reasons why people or businesses might want to boost their videos. It could be to increase reach and visibility, get more likes and comments, or simply to target specific groups. Instagram’s paid promotions let users reach their ideal audience by narrowing down who sees the video based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and locations.

Boosted Videos

So, how can you tell if a video has been boosted? Well, it’s pretty simple. If you see the word “Sponsored” on a video in your feed then the video is boosted. It’s Instagram’s way of saying someone’s paying to get this in front of you. Not just that there are other tags like “Download/Install Now” for apps, “Book Now” for some services, “Sign Up” for registration and more.

Sponsored posts on Instagram

Another clue is the view count. Have you ever scrolled through and come across a video that seems low quality but has a lot of views? That is probably because the video is boosted. The number of views may be high, but the engagement (likes, comments, shares) is often low. Why? Because the views are coming from people who weren’t necessarily interested in the content but were just targeted to see it through paid promotions.

Partnership and Collaboration

Hey, wait! There’s another trick for this. Boosting isn’t always about paid promotions directly on Instagram. A lot of times, influencers or celebrities partner with brands to give their videos a major visibility boost. These collaborations can even skyrocket views.

Partnership posts on Instagram

We’re seeing more and more influencers teaming up with brands to promote products or services. Even if the product is shitty, you will still see influencers giving a good opinion for the attention. While these collaborations don’t technically “boost” the video in the Instagram sense, businesses still use this strategy to increase the influencer’s audience and drive attention to their videos. A win-win situation for them(and for us as well, if we are watching quality content).

Wrapping it up

Remember, just because a video has a big number of views, doesn’t always mean it’s truly engaging or authentic. So, next time you’re scrolling through your feed, keep an eye out for those sponsored tags, and remember sometimes a little extra cash can go a long way in getting your video the attention it deserves!
