Until last year, Chinese smartphone brands were focused on offering faster charging solutions while slightly reducing battery size. However, this year, the trend has shifted to launching phones with larger silicon batteries instead of lithium-ion types and offering fast charging at around 100W. By doing this, phones can maintain longer battery life and provide more efficient performance. A new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that Xiaomi may launch a device equipped with a 7,500mAh battery in future.
Xiaomi reportedly testing multiple battery and charging configurations
According to the tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is currently researching various fast charging solutions for their batteries. It is considering multiple configurations, including a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, which can fully charge in 18 minutes, and a 5,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging, which takes 34 minutes to fully charge.
Additionally, it is looking into a 6,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging that charges in 30 minutes, a 6,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging that requires 49 minutes for a full charge, a 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging that charges in 40 minutes, and a 7,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging that takes 63 minutes to fully charge.
Some of the recent Xiaomi phones, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro series, Redmi K70 Pro, K70, Redmi Note 12 Pro+, Redmi K60 Ultra, K60 Pro, K50 Ultra, K50 Pro, Xiaomi 13T Pro, Xiaomi 12T series, and Xiaomi 11T Pro, already offer 5,000mAh+120W combination. The K70 Ultra, which debuted last month, offers a 5,500mAh battery with 100W rapid charging.
It is speculated that the upcoming Xiaomi 15 series will have silicon batteries of around 6,000mAh. Expected to launch next year, the 15 Ultra could have a 6,200mAh battery.
Usually, batteries of around 6,500mAh to 7,500mAh are good enough to power entry-level tablets. However, now that phone brands are working on phones with silicon batteries with increased energy densities, it may not be long before we see phones packed with 7,500mAh batteries.
