14 grams seems very lightweight actually, almost too lightweight. I only know of one battery weight, from the iPhone 6s, which is 25 grams and has a battery about 1/3 the capacity. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/teardown-tuesday-apples-iphone-6s/ Has battery technology really made such big advancements since 2015, or is there something missing in the equation?

    >after four years of regular use, way above the industry average of 800 charging cycles.

    Those are different metrics. Some people use 800 cycles in 2 years, others do so in 5 years

      This is cool. Hopefully oneplus start making laptops to better use this tech

        This doesn't bode well for Snapdragon 8 gen 4.

        Looks like the rumors about it being a power monster are true.

            James Holden, 21 Jun 202436 minutes is too long for 100w charging. We need faster ch... moreIf your time was so important, you wouldn't be posting such useless comments. It's a new tech that will evolve with time, not everything requires an overkill.

              "The new cell will be able to provide at least 80% of its original capacity after four years of regular use, way above the industry average of 800 charging cycles."

              This sentence makes little sense to me bc 800 cycles isnt far from how many cycles you would normally go through in 4 years (assuming your phone has good battery life)

                  This a major breakthrough in phone batteries

                  I hope others learn from this and follow, especially samsung with their note7 or such expanding batteries

                    That's the kind of battery innovation consumers would like to see, battery capacity and health, display protection etc

                    Apple meanwhile worsening their batteries just to extract more money out of their customers

                    How the tables have turned, chinese phone companies now do most of the innovation required on modern smartphones while apple just raising their prices and stagnant design

                      Except for ODMs like oukitel that makes their own batteries

                          Main question is why oppo is promising about battery health 4 year...

                          No company do that ... Samsung apple phone 5 6 7 year user phone work good...

                          Oppo has battery issue .. Fast charging damage battery it real...

                          That why oppo is covering it

                            As a user, I care a lot about the processor and now I also want a good battery.

                              Anton .el PAPI., 21 Jun 2024and your argument is for? What does it matter that vivo and... moreYeah it doesn't matter 😅 just want a war that is all

                                jiyen235, 21 Jun 2024what was the comment hahaThey said the don't like OnePlus but in the most expletive way possible

                                  IpsDisplay, 21 Jun 2024(Vivo s19 ) This is thanks to vivo’s Blue Ocean tech, wh... moreand your argument is for? What does it matter that vivo and blah blah blah, both op and vivo belong to the same parent company!! And yes, let the battery war begin, it is just what many of us were waiting for

                                    (Vivo s19 )

                                    This is thanks to vivo’s Blue Ocean tech, which achieves 809Wh/L energy density

                                    Come on man OnePlus this glacier battery is only 763.. I mean still great but I was hoping for something similar

                                    Anyways the 14g weight I can't really appreciate it because I can't compare it to Vivo's battery weight specs

                                    Damn I need more battery information and I need it NOW!!!

                                    Let the battery wars begin I want grams , energy density and charge cycle stats as much information as we get when we are talking about processors or camera specs.. battery needs some love too

                                      Acorns, 21 Jun 2024100% agree with this comment, I know some people are obsess... moreYea and not to mention there are usually only old spare batteries sold so there is really no point in replacing the battery - it will be in a bad shape even as "new". So battery cycles is vital.

                                        damn after a few more updates to the battery these Chinese manufacturers are gonna make phones last longer in terms of hardware than their software and Samsung/Google are gonna have longer lasting software than hardware, basically you're going to want to change the Samsung/Google cus of the middling hardware and you're going to want to change the chinese phones if you ever feel like the hardware is not good enough which seems like is going to be a tough scenario because these manufacturers are pushing everything to the limit and one day the innovations gonna stop or at least slow down significantly so most buyers should be happy for a long time.
