A new era of Android smartphones is coming with much larger batteries as large as 8000 mAh.
Remember the days when you were lucky to get through a full day of use out of your smartphone by refreshing the battery just once in the afternoon? Then came all-day battery life and still, users wanted more. The goal is to feature a phone with a battery large enough to allow the user to miss or even skip a night or two of charging and replenishing and still have the power available to run the phone all day the next day.
2025-2026 is going to usher in an new era for smartphones. Let’s call it the «Big Battery Era» as after years of topping out around the 5000 mAh area, battery capacities will rise to the 7000-8000 mAh region. Just the other day we told you about Honor’s new Power line of handsets and one model under this brand name is rumored to be the first smartphone to feature an 8000 mAh battery. According to leaker Digital Chat Station who posted this message on Weibo, by the end of this year, most flagship Android phones will be equipped with a 7000 mAh battery.
