Introduction

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.
