Realme Explores Larger Battery Capacities for Next Flagship
Realme is testing three battery options for its next flagship, presumably the GT 8 Pro. These silicon-carbon batteries allow for increased capacity without increasing the phone's size.
- 8,000 mAh battery with 80W charging (around 1 hour 10 minutes charging time)
- 7,500 mAh battery with 100W charging
- 7,000 mAh battery with 120W charging (around 42 minutes charging time)
This follows the recent launch of the Realme GT 7 Pro with a 6,500 mAh battery. Oppo, another company under the BBK group, is also planning a 7,000 mAh flagship. Learn more about Oppo's plans.
These developments suggest a trend toward multi-day battery life in flagship smartphones. The use of silicon-carbon batteries allows for these larger capacities while maintaining reasonable charging times. Xiaomi's upcoming global launch may also feature similar advancements.
While the Realme GT 8 Pro is still months away, the global rollout of the GT 7 Pro is imminent. Other brands like iQOO are also making strides in battery technology.
