  • As reported by The Korea Herald, Chang Duk-hyun, CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, the company's components subsidiary, has revealed that it could start mass producing the tech next year, although who will benefit first is anyone's guess.

The article from TechRadar discusses a potential breakthrough in wearable technology, focusing on a new battery technology developed by Samsung.
