If you tried pumping the standard battery's 10 watt-hours into a Samsung S4 smatphone in 26 seconds regardless of the battery you would probably set it on fire.
Time has a little more detail.

Basically, the battery is a lower capacity than the standard battery, the charger is currently twice as expensive and huge and the battery needs a considerably higher current to charge than the standard, so the phone needs to be modified.

Still, they are targeting late 2016 for a launch, so they may be able to iron out those problems.
