Abstract
Description
Mobile handset functionality has evolved to include internet and multimedia
capabilities, leading to an increasing number of components and features being
incorporated into mobile handsets. As a result, demands for power are far
outpacing mobile handset battery capacity, resulting in a large and growing
mobile handset power gap. This report quantifies and analyzes that gap,
providing power metrics that go beyond the often quoted standby and talk
times. This report includes an examination of the current status of power in
mobile handsets and also analyzes industry trends designed to address the need
for more power in handsets, covering shifts in charging methods, battery
technologies, and power management techniques.
This study will provide the following:
- Analysis of the growing power gap that exists between mobile handset power
requirements and capacity.
- Discussion of how trends in mobile handset shipments and features are
affecting the power required in mobile handsets.
- Profiles of casual, average and heavy users that detail power requirements
split by high end smartphone, low end smartphone, feature rich handset, and
basic feature handset.
- Market forecasts for standardized charging ports and wireless charging in
mobile handsets, as well as discussion of the market potential for solar
charging.
- Overview of the mobile handset battery market, including current battery
chemistries and capacity by tier with discussion of future battery materials.
- Information regarding power management techniques in key power consuming
components, including the display, baseband, and processors.
- Critical analysis of the broader implications of the handset power gap for
the overall mobile handset ecosystem.
