OnePlus has teamed up with CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited), the world’s top battery manufacturer, to introduce an innovative battery technology named the "OnePlus Glacier Battery."
OnePlus describes the Glacier Battery as “a high-performance battery designed for high-performance mobile phones, a breakthrough in battery life experience, and the beginning of a new era.” However, the specifics of this claim are yet to be detailed.
Upcoming Communication Meeting
To shed more light on this new technology, OnePlus will host a "OnePlus Glacier Battery Communication Meeting" on June 20th. During this event, more information about the Glacier Battery will be disclosed.
Although the company hasn't officially announced which device will first feature the new battery, it is speculated that the forthcoming OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will be the first. Previous reports hint that this device will house a substantial 6100mAh battery, a detail confirmed by the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station in a Weibo post earlier today.
Dual-Cell Design and Fast Charging
According to reports, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will sport a dual-cell design comprising two 2970mAh batteries. This setup, paired with the Glacier Battery technology, points towards a notable enhancement in battery performance for the device.
Despite the large battery, the Ace 3 Pro is expected to be less than 9mm thick. It will support 100W charging capability and is projected to charge fully in about 30 minutes. The tipster also mentioned that many future OnePlus phones would incorporate the Glacier Battery, boasting both large capacity and rapid charging speeds.
Awaiting Detailed Information
Whether the Glacier Battery leverages new battery chemistry, refined cell design, or software optimizations is still unknown. We will have to wait until the June 20th announcement for comprehensive details.
Additionally, the design of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro was leaked in a poster earlier today. Information regarding its display and processor indicates a DisplayMate A+ rating for the screen and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, respectively.
