it’s still a Li-ion (like most current rechargeables) but the electrolyte - the medium that transfers the ions from the anode to the cathode - (the + and -) inside the battery is made of a solid material instead of the current gen liquid ones. The benefits are less weight/size (as liquids take up more space than solids) and a more stable composition - the liquid electrolyte can’t leak - the way batteries get gunky and corroded if left for a while
What material is inside?
These articles call it “oxide” but what exactly is it?
Things which oxidized.
Seriously I hate articles like this.
Also, what is a “solid state” battery anyway? A capacitor?

Unfortunately the source does not seem to indicate what Samsung is using.

It does say that LG will be producing a sulfide based electrolyte.
LOL that’s why I wrote my question, smartie.
