The Redmi K100 was recently launched as the company’s first phone with a 10,000mAh battery. It looks like Redmi has similar plans for its upcoming phones, with the latest leak suggesting a 12,000mAh battery phone. This battery prototype has reportedly finished mass production planning and is intended for a mid-range to high-end phone.
Redmi 12,000mAh battery phone
This leak comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who hasn’t revealed the company’s name, but it’s believed to be Redmi. The 12,000mAh battery is said to be ready and is reportedly planned for a mid-range smartphone. We might see it soon in a Redmi mid-range to high-end phone. The tipster adds that the company is already evaluating a battery with around 13,000mAh to 14,000mAh capacity, which could go into mass production next year.
We’d still have to wait for more details from Redmi since this is all speculation, but the likelihood of a 12,000mAh battery phone won’t be surprising. Its most recent smartphone, the Redmi K100, boasts a massive 10,000mAh battery. The upcoming Redmi Turbo 6 Max could beat it by offering an 11,000mAh battery. Both phones are suitable for power users who rely on multi-day usage.
Not just Redmi; other companies have similar plans. OPPO A7 Ultra is tipped to launch with a 12,000mAh battery. Vivo is also reportedly testing a 12,000mAh battery phone, while Honor might beat everyone by launching one with a 15,000mAh battery. It looks like this will be one of the key smartphone trends going into 2027, where we see more phones with 10,000mAh+ batteries.
It’s not clear which Redmi phone we’ll see the 12,000mAh battery in, but it’s expected to arrive soon. With similar plans from other companies, it would be wise to wait if you’ve been looking for a mega battery phone that can go on for days.
