Next year's Redmi and OnePlus devices to have even bigger batteries

Over the past few weeks we've seen a lot of Chinese smartphone makers launching devices with 6,000 mAh batteries and larger, but according to a new rumor out of China, this is only the beginning. Sure, Red Magic already went to 7,050 mAh, but next year it will have some (more) competition.

That's because we can allegedly expect both Redmi phones and OnePlus handsets with 7,000 mAh batteries in 2025. This, combined with the ever-increasing mobile chipset efficiency means battery life in 2025 definitely shouldn't be a problem anymore, even for the most demanding of users.

It's been a long time coming, this, and at least this year's 6,000+ mAh cells did not come with any penalty in terms of phone thickness thanks to the new silicon tech used, and we assume the same will be true next year - or, at the worst, we'll see marginal increases in thickness that can easily be lived with because of the improvement in longevity.

Unfortunately the source of this rumor hasn't detailed which devices from Redmi and OnePlus will go to 7,000 on the mAh scale, but we assume the Redmi K90 series and the OnePlus 14 are prime contenders. We'll let you know when we find out more.
