There's a reason your Galaxy phone battery capacity isn't bigger

Samsung smartphones don't come equipped with batteries that are as big as some Chinese rivals, and there's a good reason for it.

I call BS on the regulatory argument. My previous cellphone, a Ulefone Armor 3W, came with a whopping 10,300 mAh Li ion battery. That\s almost 40 W/h, yet I could buy it freely.

I'm not super convinced a 20 Wh battery is much safer than 40 or 50 Wh one. I guess if my phone's battery bursts into flames in my pocket I would want the smaller battery. I would like if the regulation required greater than 20 Wh batteries to use a non-flammable electrolyte chemistry like Lithium Iron Phosphate.
