The battery of flagship smartphones will be increased

Flagship smartphones announced for 2024 will have a larger battery. Journalists from GizChina came to this assumption.

Experts have studied rumors related to new smartphones based on the future top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor. Reports noted that many devices will receive a battery with a capacity of at least 6,000 milliamp-hours. These devices include OnePlus 13, Oppo Find X8 and Realme GT6 Pro.

The authors noted that flagships will “enter the era” of smartphones with improved batteries. The current industry standard is a 5,000 milliamp-hour battery. The breakthrough was attributed to new silicon-based batteries that can hold more energy than conventional battery cells.

In addition, the eight-core Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor announced for the fall does not have energy-efficient cores like other chips. Therefore, the autonomy of the new Android flagships with 6000 milliamp-hour batteries will most likely remain at the level of previously released devices. “The transition to larger batteries could lead to the creation of more bulky smartphone designs,” the journalists concluded.

At the beginning of the year, the Chinese company Honor introduced the flagship smartphone Magic6 Pro. The device received a battery with a silicon-carbon anode with a capacity of 5600 milliamp-hours, which can operate in extreme cold conditions.
