Redmi Clarifies Incompatibility of New Jinshajiang Batteries with Older Devices
Redmi has addressed user inquiries regarding the possibility of upgrading older phones with the new high-capacity Jinshajiang batteries. Due to significant technical challenges, these batteries are not compatible with previous models.
Technical Barriers to Battery Upgrade
