Oppo may be working on a smartphone with a 7,000 mAh battery
Oppo is working on three smartphone models that – at least by today’s standards – could be equipped with quite large batteries. While we see handsets with 6,000 mAh batteries arriving in 2024, alongside a shift to using silicon-carbon batteries, a tipster claims that the Chinese phone maker is already developing two smartphones that can pack up to 7,000 mAh batteries. Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that another company could launch a phone with a 7,000mAh battery as soon as next month.
Oppo’s smartphones can house large batteries with support for 80W charging
According to details shared by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) on Weibo, Oppo’s “next powerful new phone” will be equipped with large batteries. The user has leaked information about three handsets in development, and all three models are equipped with higher capacity batteries than the current flagship range.

The first of the three smartphones mentioned by the tipster could be equipped with a 6,285 mAh battery (or normally 6,400 mAh). Meanwhile, the company is said to be working on another device with a larger 6,850 mAh battery (normally 7,000 mAh). Both models are said to support 80W charging.
The tipster also claims that a third smartphone with a dual-cell battery of 6,140 mAh (typically 6,300 mAh) is also in development. While this model is smaller than the other two handsets, it could come with 100W charging support.
A recent report suggests that a smartphone with a 7,000mAh battery could hit the market in December. Realme has set a December 11 launch date for the upcoming Realme Neo 7 handset, and a recent leak suggests that the phone will come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip and a 7,000mAh battery.
It’s worth noting that Oppo has yet to receive any word on future smartphones equipped with large batteries, so it’s worth taking these claims with a grain of salt. The tipster has a good track record of sharing details of unreleased smartphones, so we may hear more about these alleged handsets in the coming months.
