According to the information shared by Oppo, one of the reliable sources, Digital Chat Station, the new models that the company is developing are expected to include batteries with a capacity of 7,000mAh. This step may change the balance in the industry in terms of both battery life and technological innovations. It is claimed that Oppo can offer these high-capacity batteries in a relatively compact structure, especially thanks to the advances in silicon-carbon battery technology.
Oppo’s current flagship models, Find X8 and X8 Pro, crossed an important threshold in this field by exceeding the 5,000mAh limit. Now, it seems that the company aims to take this success even further and reach the 7,000mAh level. Leaked information shows that Oppo is working on two different large battery options. While one of them has a capacity of 6,285mAh, the other stands out with 6,850mAh. Due to marketing strategy, these capacities can be rounded to 6,410mAh and 7,000mAh respectively.
What will the charging speed be?
It is stated that these new batteries will be compatible with Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC wired charging technology, which already has a strong performance. However, no information has been shared about the wireless charging feature so far. How Oppo will optimize this technology is already eagerly awaited. However, a larger battery capacity could eliminate the need for users to charge for longer periods of time.
Silicon-carbon battery technology both increases energy density and allows batteries to offer more capacity in a smaller area. This situation has mobilized not only Oppo but also other technology giants such as Xiaomi. It is known that Xiaomi is also working on a model that plans to offer a 7,000mAh capacity battery. This model is expected to come with the Snapdragon 8s Elite or 8s Gen 4 chipset and offer 90W fast charging support.
However, large capacity batteries don’t always come with just advantages. Larger capacities can often result in devices being thicker and heavier. This may be a disadvantage, especially for users who prefer thin and light phones. However, this increase in battery capacity may be an important reason for gaming-oriented users or those who want uninterrupted use for a long time.
It is not yet known what strategy Oppo will follow in the market with these new models. However, such high-capacity batteries can be an attractive option for users who aim to eliminate the worry of charging in daily life. Uncertainty about when the company will launch its new models or how its pricing strategy will be shaped continues for now.
