Samsung will be able to produce solid-state batteries that are safe enough for use in smartphones within one to two years, one of the company's executives said. Solid-state batteries are far more durable and provide better longevity than standard Lithium-Ion batteries.
One of the Samsung's SDI executives told The Korean Herald:
"Our technological level to produce a solid-state battery for smartphones will be mature enough in one to two years. However, it depends on Samsung Electronics whether it will be used for phones. (…) As far as I know, the level of battery technology of our rival firm (LG Chem) is also similar to us."
Solid-state batteries do not use liquid to conduct ions, which is how Li-ion batteries operate. Li-ion batteries can ignite and even explode when liquid inside the battery contacts air or water outside. On the other hand, the solid electrolytes found within solid-state batteries are much less likely to ignite. If you'll recall, Samsung was forced to discontinue the Galaxy Note 7 after a series of reports on its Li-ion battery exploding.
"Solid-state batteries are a realistic alternative to lithium-ion batteries in solving the chronic safety issue as the development has been relatively faster than other next-generation batteries over the last 10 years."
Solid-state batteries can be used in smartphones and electric vehicles. While we should see the first smartphones with this battery type within the next two years, vehicles will need more safety testing. The predicted premiere of a vehicle with a solid-state battery is expected to occur by around 2025.
LYF Water 7 smartphone was introduced last year and it is one of the most popular smartphones that the company had launched. It offers a decent set of specs for the price at which it is being offered at, however, there is nothing extraordinary about the smartphone either. In fact, if you won the smartphone, then you already know how bad the software on the smartphone is. The company is not sending any updates to the phone as well which can get really annoying. However, there is not a lot that you can do about it, other than just installing a custom ROM.

Pre-requisite
The first thing which you need to make sure is that you are creating a complete backup of your files. Since we will be completely wiping the internal memory of the phone, you will end up loosing all your files.
You also need to make sure that you are installing a custom recovery software. You can install any of your choices, however, we suggest you go for TWRP for this installation.
You also need to make sure that the battery in the tablet has about 60-percent charge before you begin the installation. If your smartphone's battery dies during the installation, then you may end up with a completely bricked smartphone.
And lastly it is also necessary to make sure that you have downloaded the firmware file which is necessary for the installation. Without this file, you won't be able to proceed with the installation and hence we suggest you download the same from the link given below.
Assuming that you have downloaded the files given in the link above, it is now time to begin the installation process.
The first thing which you need to make sure is that you copy the downloaded file to the smartphone.
Once done, simply turn off your phone and enter into the recovery mode. You can do this by pressing Volume Down + Power Key at the same time.
After this, once you are in the recovery menu, look for wipe and format option ⇒ wipe data, system, cache and Dalvik cache and initiate it.
Once done, now return back to the recovery menu and tap on Install.
Now it will ask you to browse for the firmware file which you had copied earlier. Simply navigate to the same and select it.
After that simply swipe to begin the installation.
Do make a note that the installation will take some time and hence we suggest you be patient with the same.
After it is done, before rebooting you can also choose to install the GApps.
Once this is done, your device will automatically reboot into the new ROM.
Do make a note that the first reboot may take a long time and hence we suggest you stay patient with the same. Having said, if you have any queries regarding the setup, then be sure to let us know by commenting down below and also stay tuned to Android Advices for more tutorials like this.
