This development could potentially outpace notable contenders like the S24 Ultra, OnePlus 13, and the much-anticipated S25 Ultra. The smartphone landscape has recently been criticized for lack of innovation, yet one area ripe for enhancement is battery longevity. While devices like the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra are expected to maintain their traditional battery sizes, competitors are poised to leap ahead with impressive specifications. Digital Chat Station indicates that Xiaomi's new device will likely forgo wireless charging, a drawback that might be justified by significantly reduced charging frequency.

Although there have been smartphones with larger batteries in the past, they often belong to rugged categories and sacrifice style for capacity. This upcoming Xiaomi device, featuring a 7,500mAh battery, is expected to deliver a sleek design without compromising on power. Comparatively, other silicon-carbon devices like the Realme GT 7 Pro with its 6,500mAh and the RedMagic 10 Pro Plus at 7,050mAh would seem lacking in terms of battery life, while the 5,000mAh pack of the Galaxy S25 Ultra feels outdated. Samsung fans may not want to hear it, but the iPhone lineup fails to match up as well. Moreover, Xiaomi doesn’t appear to be stopping at 7,500mAh; according to Digital Chat Station, they are investigating the development of even larger battery options. The ongoing battery capacity race is set to continue into 2025 and beyond, with recent reports hinting at Samsung exploring battery-stacking technology for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, aiming for a competitive edge in battery capacity.
