Smartphone battery capacity is increasing rapidly, with manufacturers exploring new technologies to extend the life of devices. The transition to silicon-carbon batteries has allowed their capacity to increase, with devices with a capacity of 6,000mAh often found. Future developments suggest that even larger batteries are on the horizon.
Oppo is rumored to be developing a phone with a battery capacity of 7,000-7,500mAh, and Realme has publicly stated its intention to reach 10,000mAh within a few years, with a target of 7,500mAh in the near future.
However, battery size alone does not guarantee long-term use. Manufacturers are also focusing on optimizing hardware and software to improve energy efficiency. This includes improvements to display technology, chipsets, and operating systems. The trend toward larger batteries is industry-wide and reflects the focus on improving smartphone battery life.
