A new leak suggests Redmi is working on multiple smartphones with 10,000mAh batteries. The information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims Redmi currently has three different phones in testing with batteries of this size.
While that number might sound extreme, it’s no longer unprecedented. Devices like the Honor Power 2 and Realme P4 Power already have cells this big.
What is changing is how comfortable brands seem to be with the idea. More companies are starting to treat ultra-large batteries as a viable selling point for new phones. Vivo has already teased its first entry, the Vivo Y600 Pro, and its sub-brand iQOO is reportedly working on one as well.
For Redmi, one of the rumored devices is said to belong to the Redmi Note 17 series, likely the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.
The global model might feature a smaller cell
However, a recent report claims the global version of the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max may feature a slightly smaller 9,210mAh battery, possibly to comply with EU safety regulations. The handset is still expected to support 100W fast charging. This would be necessary to make a battery of this size practical for daily use.
The same model is also said to feature a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 primary camera and an 8-megapixel OmniVision OV8F10 ultra-wide sensor. For selfies, it is expected to include a 32-megapixel Samsung S5KKDS front-facing camera.
Other hardware details include a metal frame, an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, and a 1.5K LTPS display with a high refresh rate.
The devices are still in testing, so nothing is confirmed yet. But taken together with what we’re already seeing from brands like Honor and Realme, it’s clear that 10,000mAh is no longer an outlier; it’s becoming part of the conversation.
