Later this week, Realme is set to introduce the Realme Neo 7, a budget-friendly flagship smartphone, in China. One of the standout features of this device is its impressive 7,000mAh battery. Recent leaks from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station indicate that several brands are preparing to release phones with 7,000mAh batteries in China. Moreover, he has mentioned that one company is looking into the possibility of launching a phone with an 8,000mAh battery.
Realme's Future Plans
As noted above, DCS has suggested that Realme might eventually release a phone featuring an 8,000mAh battery. At this point, this idea is still under consideration and may not be confirmed just yet. He also shared that iQOO, Redmi, and OnePlus are also preparing to unveil phones with 7,000mAh batteries, indicating a trend among major brands.
Details on Upcoming Devices
Based on insights from the supply chain, DCS indicated that an upcoming iQOO phone will have a battery capacity of around 7,000mAh. This device will also boast a high-resolution 2K LTPS Samsung flat display and will include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. However, the name of this upcoming device remains a mystery for now. The launching date is anticipated to be in 2025 in China. Currently, there is no information available regarding the 7,000mAh battery phones from Redmi and OnePlus.
Recently, iQOO released the iQOO 13, which has a 6,000mAh battery, while Realme launched the Realme GT 7 Pro with a 5,800mAh battery in India and other regions. These devices have slightly less powerful batteries compared to their Chinese alternatives. The iQOO 13 available in China comes with a 6,150mAh battery, and the Realme GT 7 Pro is equipped with a 6,500mAh battery. It is uncertain if the decrease in battery size outside of China is due to regulatory issues.
Global Launch Expectations
The Realme Neo 7 along with other smartphones featuring 7,000mAh batteries are likely to be available in markets beyond China. It remains to be seen if these global versions will maintain the same battery specifications or if they will be altered for various reasons.
