What's with the title, the current battery produces 100 microwatts, and there is no "smartphone" in the title. And I assume the "63 nuclear isotopes" mentioned

  not a very high quality source article indeed, first paragraph: "A Chinese startup has unveiled a new battery that it claims can generate electricity for 50 years with the need for charging or maintenance." wauw, a battery that needs charging. did they even read what they wrote?

  Unless it's a perfectly legitimate output of ChatGPT or the likes.

  100mW probably enough to idle a sizable % of phones on. One could definitely make a low powered phone that slowly recharges a super capacitor or regular battery while idling. Basically use the nuclear battery like a range-extender in a hybrid car, dumping power in, but not driving the phone.

    100mW is probably enough indeed, but the battery in the source only does 100uW.
