After launching the Redmi Turbo 4 earlier this month, Redmi is preparing to release its Turbo 4 Pro later this year. While early rumors hinted at a 7,500 mAh battery, subsequent reports suggested a slightly reduced capacity in the “low 7,000s.”
However, the latest leak reaffirms the 7,500 mAh battery capacity, reportedly confirmed through prototype testing. While this isn’t an official announcement, it aligns with earlier claims, keeping hopes high for one of the largest batteries in its class.
Redmi Testing 8,000 mAh Batteries for Future Models
In an exciting development, Redmi is said to be experimenting with 8,000 mAh batteries, potentially for the upcoming K90 series. If successful, this could set a new standard for battery capacity in flagship devices.
The Shift to Bigger Batteries
Chinese smartphone manufacturers appear to be prioritizing larger batteries over ever-higher charging speeds. Thanks to advancements in Silicon-Carbon battery technology, these companies can now pack higher energy density into the same form factor.
This focus on capacity does come with a tradeoff—charging times. The industry previously achieved sub-20-minute full charges, but current devices now average 35-40 minutes to fully charge. While still impressive, it represents a step back in charging speed innovation.
Meanwhile, at Samsung…
As Chinese brands continue pushing the boundaries of battery capacity and fast charging, Samsung seems to lag in adopting these advancements. The Turbo 4 Pro’s massive battery and potential for further breakthroughs underline the competitive edge of Chinese manufacturers in this area.
