Large-screen phones launching in early 2026 are expected to ship with at least 8,000mAh batteries as standard.
Chinese smartphone brands continue to push battery capacity to new extremes, and iQOO appears to be next in line. According to a new leak, the Vivo sub-brand is working on phones with batteries far larger than what the current performance-centric devices include.
Well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station hints that iQOO already has a phone in mass production with a battery close to 9,000mAh. More interestingly, another model featuring a 10,000mAh battery is said to be under evaluation. While launch timelines were not mentioned, the leak suggests these devices are part of iQOO’s upcoming roadmap.
