Smartphones Nearing the 15,000 mAh Battery Milestone
Smartphone batteries are evolving rapidly, with the industry on the cusp of introducing devices equipped with extraordinarily large power cells. Phones boasting battery capacities exceeding 8,000 mAh are already available on the market, such as the Honor X9d. Reports suggest that phones featuring 10,000 mAh batteries will soon become widely available to consumers.
Moreover, prototypes of a 15,000 mAh Realme phone have surfaced, indicating that manufacturers may soon begin mass production of smartphones housing these ultra-large batteries.
Would you switch your current smartphone brand for a 15,000 mAh battery phone?
Mass Production of 12,000 mAh Batteries is Imminent
As larger batteries become mainstream, budget smartphones will also benefit. While they may not feature 15,000 mAh cells anytime soon, 8,000 mAh to 10,000 mAh batteries are expected to become standard in affordable devices, greatly enhancing user experience.
The Road Ahead for Battery Technology in Flagship Phones
Upcoming flagship phones, including the iPhone 17, Galaxy S25 Ultra, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, still rely on traditional Li-ion battery technology. Unfortunately, this means they currently lag behind competitors in battery advancements, with some like the Galaxy S26 Ultra receiving underwhelming battery upgrades.
