The next flagship phone from Realme could exceed the 8,000mAh battery barrier, more than double the capacity of the iPhone 16.
"That is indeed big."
Speculation has begun about a new Realme phone that could feature an 8,000mAh battery, representing a significant advancement for consumer smartphones, which typically offer capacities of around 4,000mAh or less. This rumor comes from a well-known leaker, who suggests that the device in question could be the Realme GT 8 Pro, expected to be launched in 2025.
According to the leaked information, several battery sizes are being considered: 7,000mAh, 7,500mAh, and 8,000mAh. However, it is important to note that with higher capacity, charging speed and the time required for the battery to fully charge could be reduced. A definitive decision has not yet been made, but if Realme opts for the 8,000mAh option, it would be a remarkable improvement, allowing users not to have to recharge their phone every night.
Although an 8,000mAh battery would not be the largest seen in a phone, as there are models with capacities of up to 22,000mAh, those are quite bulky and not practical for daily use. If Realme decides to include an 8,000mAh battery, it would be the largest in a consumer phone that maintains a functional design, surpassing devices like the iPhone 16 (3,561mAh) and the Samsung Galaxy S24 (4,000mAh). However, it is worth remembering that battery life also depends on other factors, such as chipset efficiency.
Unfortunately, Realme phones are not marketed in markets like the U.S., U.K., or Australia, as the company focuses more on regions like China and India. It is expected that Realme's advanced battery technology could influence the industry and be adopted by other smartphone manufacturers.
