>This looks closer to an industrial product than many new battery technology announcements.

Compared to other Battery tech advance from University Research and Startup which are trying to hype and gain new funding, Samsung doesn't need that. And my guess it is at least small scale production ready before they make such announcement. ( Or they knew a competitor which has a similar product announcement soon and step up ahead of them )

Hopefully we see this in shipping product by 2020.
