The company is currently testing prototypes with batteries of different capacities.
In November, Realme unveiled its new flagship Realme GT 7 Pro, showcasing an impressive 6,500mAh battery. With the introduction of silicon-carbon batteries, smartphone makers are now increasing their capacity while maintaining the same size. Moreover, the new technology promises to further increase battery capacity. While OPPO is planning to launch a flagship smartphone with a 7,000mAh battery soon, Realme may go further and introduce the Realme GT 8 Pro with an 8,000mAh battery.
According to insider Digital Chat Station, Realme is not going to stop there and is currently considering three options for the next-generation flagship. The device that the company is currently testing is presumably the GT 8 Pro. Each working prototype has a certain battery capacity with some compromises in charging speed. The most ambitious option is 8000 mAh with 80 W charging. This is slower than the company can afford, with this technology a full charge time will be 1 hour 10 minutes. A more optimal option is 7500 mAh with 100 W charging. This is a balanced version with decent battery life and a charging time of about 55 minutes. Finally, the third option is 7000 mAh with 120 W charging. A smartphone with such a battery will charge in about 42 minutes, and its battery life will still be higher than most other devices on the market.
The fact that OPPO and other brands are also planning to increase the battery capacity of their devices suggests that this could become a new trend in the industry. In the coming years, manufacturers will massively switch to silicon-carbon batteries, and smartphones may be able to work for several days without recharging.
