Chinese smartphone brands like OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, and others are already ahead of the curve in battery technology. Thanks to new battery tech, the companies have managed to offer massive battery cells in sleek devices. Now, it seems like OnePlus might be pushing the boundaries even further with the world’s largest mobile battery. So here’s what we know.
OnePlus could be working on an 8,000mAh battery
For those unaware, Chinese brands are packing massive cells in their smartphones thanks to the new silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery technology. But according to Digital Chat Station, OnePlus (and by its extension even Oppo) could be working on a battery pack with a massive 8,000mAh capacity. The known tipster claims that the increase in battery capacity is possible due to the silicon content seeing a rise to 15 percent, which is a sizeable jump over 6 percent on the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro (Review).
To recall, silicon can store a lot more lithium ions than graphite, which is we have recently seen a jump in capacity sizes in the latest Chinese flagships. Along with its massive size, the next gen battery also supports 80W SuperVOOC wired fast charging. OnePlus might not immediately make the shift to an 8,000mAh battery, but we could be seeing a 7,000mAh powered OnePlus flagship soon.
Based on Digital Chat Station’s claims, the development of the new battery tech is being undertaken by the Ouga Lab, which is a research and development team under OnePlus and Oppo. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report at this point, so take this news with a pinch of salt.
