Even thebest phonessuch as theSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultraand theiPhone 14 Prohave an achilles heel: their battery. Wouldn’t it be great if you could put a 30,000mAh battery into your flagship phone and have battery life measured not in days, but in decades?

Does adding a monster battery make the Samsung Galaxy A32 better?

In a word, no. The battery pack is significantly bigger and heavier than the Samsung Galaxy it’s attached to, adding what is apparently 30mm of extra casing and a whopping half-kilo (1lb) of weight to a phone that only weighs 205g (7oz) out of the box.

More importantly, adding such a big battery massively increases the risk of an explosion. You wouldn’t be allowed to carry it onto an aeroplane – US regulations limit battery packs to 100Wh, which is just under 27,000mAh – and the sheer heft and weight of the battery means you’re much more likely to hit it off something and do fatal damage to it, and perhaps anything near it. This is definitely one of those “don’t try this at home” experiments.
