OnePlus Rumored To Be Developing A 7,000mAh Battery For Its Future Smartphones, Will Likely Be Possible Thanks To Its Glacier Technology

The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro launch is solid proof that a flagship can sport a thin chassis and still be crammed with a sizable 6,100mAh battery, thanks to a new technology that the company explored earlier. The successful implementation of this technology is the reason why the latest rumor claims that the Chinese electronics manufacturer is working on a 7,000mAh battery that will be found in a future smartphone. It is safe to say that we will see tablet-sized cells fueling many handsets in the future.

The massive battery may only be found in an upcoming OnePlus mid-ranger, but will eventually move to flagships

The Glacier Battery technology debuting in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro pretty much means that the company has the freedom to extend these batteries in future smartphones and raise that capacity. On Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station states that we could witness a 7,000mAh battery, but sadly, OnePlus will not target its flagships sporting these incredible capacities. Instead, the initiation may start with a mid-ranger, and then possibly, the phone maker would be comfortable enough to bring it to the more expensive models.

As for what Glacier Battery technology is, OnePlus employs what it calls a high-capacity silicon-carbon material that allows it to achieve a 763WH/L energy density. The new cells boast a 23.1 percent higher energy density compared to graphite batteries, making it a welcome addition when it comes to delivering substantially longer runtimes on Android smartphones. After all, we cannot expect chipset manufacturers to keep releasing power-efficient products, and there needs to be some innovation in the battery department too.

Another advantage of incorporating this high-capacity silicon-carbon material is that firms like OnePlus can launch thinner flagships but with bigger cells, retaining the smartphone’s design aesthetics. Apple is also reported to bring higher-density batteries to its upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max, but it is unconfirmed whether the Cupertino giant will use the same technology that OnePlus employs. The rumor does not talk about how thick the mid-ranger with the 7,000mAh battery will be, but if it does not go out of proportion, we are confident that consumers will embrace this change with open arms. After all, who would not want their devices to last longer?
