OnePlus has announced a collaboration with the world’s largest battery maker, CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited), on a new battery technology called the “OnePlus Glacier Battery.”
According to OnePlus, the Glacier Battery is “a high-performance battery designed for high-performance mobile phones, a breakthrough in battery life experience, and the beginning of a new era.” However, what this precisely means remains to be seen.
For that, OnePlus is holding a “OnePlus Glacier Battery Communication Meeting” on June 20th, where they will reveal more about the new battery technology.
While the company hasn’t confirmed which device will first feature the new battery, it is likely the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, which previous reports suggest will have a large 6100mAh battery. The prolific tipster Digital Chat Station corroborated this in a Weibo post earlier today.
Reportedly, the phone will have a dual-cell design with two 2970mAh batteries. This, combined with the Glacier Battery technology, suggests a significant improvement in battery life for the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro.
Despite having such a large battery, the tipster says the Ace 3 Pro will be less than 9mm thick. The phone will also support 100W charging and is expected to charge to 100% in about 30 minutes. Additionally, the tipster revealed that many upcoming OnePlus phones will use the new Glacier Battery, which offers big capacity and fast charging speeds.
Whether the Glacier Battery involves new battery chemistry, improved cell design, or software optimizations remains to be seen. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement on June 20th for more detailed information.
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro’s design has also been leaked in a poster earlier today. Details about its display and processor has been revealed too, which suggests a DisplayMate A+ rating for the panel and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, respectively.
