Tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that a new smartphone is on the way with a standout combination of ultra-large battery capacity and sleek design. According to his post on Weibo, the unnamed device will include a 10,000mAh battery, support 100W wired charging, and offer full-speed wireless charging, all while keeping its body thickness under 8.5mm.
The tipster did not name the brand, but several clues point to the upcoming Redmi K90 Ultra. Digital Chat Station hinted that the device will be part of a performance-focused sub-series and is expected to use a flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9-series chipset.
This marks a significant upgrade over the Redmi K90 Pro Max, which comes with a 7,560mAh battery. While earlier reports suggested that the new model might feature an 8,000mAh cell, it now appears that Xiaomi has managed to make room for an even larger 10,000mAh unit, without compromising the slim profile.
In the comment section of the post, a user asked why the phone maker did not simply increase the thickness to 9.5mm to allow for even more battery. The tipster responded by asking, “So you completely don’t care about in-hand feel?” This suggests that the manufacturer is prioritizing ergonomics while still trying to maximize endurance.
The tipster also dismissed speculation about the use of mid-range processors such as the Snapdragon 7 series or Dimensity 8000 series. He replied with a rhetorical question, “Don’t you want a top-tier processor?”, further hinting that the device will use flagship-level silicon.
As per previously leaked specs, the phone will feature a newly developed flat display, likely measuring around 6.8X inches with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz LTPS refresh rate. It is also expected to include a metal frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and advanced water and dust resistance.
Xiaomi may not be the only brand chasing the big-battery trend. OnePlus is reportedly planning a 9,000mAh battery for its upcoming midrange Turbo series, signaling a broader industry shift toward endurance-focused designs paired with high refresh rate panels.
