- Realme’s upcoming flagship might feature a battery with a capacity ranging from 7,000mAh to 8,000mAh.
- The current Realme GT 7 Pro already has a 6,500mAh battery, which is larger than most flagship phones, but Realme is aiming for an even bigger battery next year.
- According to leaker Digital Chat Station, Realme is testing three potential battery configurations for its next phone.
Realme is not as well-known in the US, but the brand is recognized for producing Android smartphones with high-capacity batteries. The latest Realme GT 7 Pro comes with a 6,500mAh battery, while even the sub-$400 Realme 12 Pro Plus 5G boasts a decent 5,000mAh capacity. These phones also charge quickly at 120W and 67W, respectively. Realme seems to be working on enhancing its high-capacity, fast-charging technology with its upcoming flagship.
According to leaks from Digital Chat Station, Realme is testing three new battery variations, all with larger capacities than the GT 7 Pro. These are the details of the three batteries being considered for Realme’s next flagship phone:
- A 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging that charges to full in 42 minutes
- A 7,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging that charges to full in 55 minutes
- An 8,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging that charges to full in 70 minutes
Realme has to decide on the battery for its upcoming flagship, which was not specifically named by Digital Chat Station. It could potentially be the Realme GT 8 Pro, expected to be released in 2025. However, the leaked battery configurations suggest that the company will need to choose between capacity and charging speed.
Reportedly, the 8,000mAh battery being considered for the upcoming Realme flagship has slower charging compared to the other options. It can charge at 80W speeds, taking 70 minutes to reach full charge from 0%. This slower charging speed may not be a drawback, as a phone with an 8,000mAh capacity may not need frequent full charges, possibly lasting a day or more on a single charge.
Comparing the charging speeds of Realme’s potential battery options (80W, 70 min) to leading iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones, it’s evident that Realme could excel in battery and charging technology with a smartphone featuring a 7,000mAh, 7,500mAh, or 8,000mAh battery.
