Digital Chat Station, a popular tipster in China, has claimed through a post on Weibo that Xiaomi is working on around 7,500mAh single cell battery and the prototype will be 9mm thick. Certainly achieving 9mm thickness with such a large battery cell would be impressive.
Earlier in August, the same tipster had claimed that Xiaomi is working on the technology to equip the smartphone with a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging or a 7,500mAh battery with 100W charging. Other smartphone manufacturers are also reportedly considering introducing high energy density battery packs in their upcoming phones.
Xiaomi’s main rivals OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo are also continuously working on handsets with larger batteries. Vivo has recently confirmed that its V20 series will come with a 6,500mAh battery. At the same time, Realme GT 7 Pro has been launched in China with 6,500mAh battery. However, fitting a 7,500mAh battery in a 9mm body would be a big achievement for Xiaomi and from there we can expect the trend of larger battery devices to start in the smartphone industry.
