The industry has been pushing the boundaries of form and function, with more and more devices getting smaller than it was first imagined possible. However, there has been the relative proportion that devices in smaller scales such as wearables will inevitably trade off battery life for extreme portability. Also, that may all change soon as Samsung's announcement of two new battery protoypes are set to bring extended device runtimes.

According to reports, the South Korean tech giant at InterBatter 2015 has unveiled two new battery prototypes - the Band and the Strip. As their names suggest, the two new prototypes come with ultra portable and flexible form factors.

The Band, which is the first model, can be attached to smartwatch straps so that it can add about 50 percent of the device's original battery life. According to Samsung, it can withstand more than 50,000 bends. The second prototype, Stripe, is an extremely thin, flexible strip of battery designed to be used on all kinds of wearables - smart headbands, smart necklaces and interactive clothing designs - it is all there. Samsung says that it features higher-energy density than current comparable batteries, although they did not specify which brands and models they are.

Last June, Samsung has revealed that the their scientists have developed lithium-ion battery technology designed to make smartphones more reliable. The new battery technology uses a silicone anode to bring more capacity, but they grow layers of graphene on top to make the density and longevity better. In theory, it will give the user's devices about 21 hours of battery life.

With the market for wearables becoming more of an essential than a luxury, devices nowadays have the dire need for more battery life. With Samsung's latest battery prototypes, the South Korean tech giant is now set on eliminating that compromise all while making room for new devices with unusual shapes and forms.
