You're confusing a couple of different chemistries here.
First, it's Silicon-Carbon (Si-C), not Silicon Carbide (SiC)—SiC is for power electronics and EV inverters, not phone battery anodes.
Second, you're comparing it to NMC, which is a cathode material. Si-C replaces the graphite anode...
Of all the Signature 27 reviews I've watched, this one strikes me as the most objective. The reviewer clearly likes the phone, but he doesn't gloss over the negatives. He praises the performance, battery life, display, connectivity, and overall hardware, while also questioning the DXOMARK score...

A.I. said It will have a quad-curved screen, which brings a handful of concerns.
Fragility & Cost: Exposed edge glass shatters easily on impact, and replacing curved panels is notably expensive.

The raw specs (9,000mAh battery, 185Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme) are locked in. Now we just need to see how that upgraded 200MP + dual 50MP camera setup performs in real-world reviews over the next few days.

Yes. They're two separate AdGuard apps serving different purposes. The main AdGuard Android app provides system-wide protection, while AdGuard Content Blocker is specifically for Samsung Internet, so it's OK to have both installed. I'm using the main AdGuard Android app with Chrome for Android...
I looked into that. The AdGuard app you installed and the AdGuard Content Blocker that Samsung Browser links to are actually two different things. The full AdGuard Android app provides system-wide filtering, while the Content Blocker is specifically designed to integrate with Samsung Internet...
I see that your Nearby Devices permission is for AdGuard Content Blocker. On my phone, AdGuard isn't listed under Nearby Devices at all, although I'm using the main AdGuard Android app rather than the AdGuard Content Blocker for Samsung Internet.
I also checked my phone's actual battery usage...
Glad to hear you got it working. Nice that Samsung Browser pointed you to the AdGuard add-on and what else needed to be configured. Sounds like it’s doing exactly what you wanted now.

Per Google Gemini, note it is the Paid Version:
