According to Korean site Economic Review, Samsung is working on new battery technology as it looks to curb issues some users have had with their Galaxy handset battery's melting or catching fire.
The site claims Samsung is working on flexible versions of its solid state battery which will not only refuse to catch fire, but also allow the manufacturer to fit them into more uniquely shaped devices.

Apparently Samsung is aiming to get its flexible battery packs up to the same level as their rigid counterparts by 2015, so it looks like there's still a bit of a wait before we see this in our smartphones and wearable tech.
