Korean technology company Samsung is to introduce a new type of memory that could boost the battery life of its mobile phones by up to 20 percent.
Known as phase change memory, the modules are built from material that the company says is more capable than existing technology, but actually simpler to manufacture.
The move could see phase change memory begin to replace the more traditional flash memory currently used in most mobile devices.
The company claims that the new memory reads and writes up to three times faster than flash and expects the technology to power a whole new generation of consumer electronics.
