Samsung reveals the Stripe and Band at InterBattery 2015-- a pair of flexible batteries the company describes as nothing less than "an embodiment of the age of wearable batteries."

Samsung batteriesThe two batteries are very thin, with the more flexible Stripe being just 0.3mm thick. The Band is the fatter option, but provides up to 50% more battery power. At the show both are shown built-in a number of wearable devices.

The Stripe is as flexible as a fibre and has "innovative" energy density. According to Samsung it is adaptable to various forms, such as necklaces, hairbands and t-shirt accessories, and withstands up to 50000 "bends."

Meanwhile the Band, as the name might suggest, is a battery designed for smartwatch applications.

The Band and Stripe batteries are still prototypes, and Samsung gives no release dates as yet.
