On May 28th, according to several digital bloggers, models such as the iQOO 13 series, OPPO Find X8 series, OnePlus 13, realme GT6 Pro, among others, will all come equipped with ultra-large capacity batteries of 6000mAh and above.

Among these models, only the standard version of OPPO Find X8 will feature the Dimensity 9400 platform, while all other models will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 flagship, signaling a significant shift towards the era of 6000mAh for Snapdragon 8 Gen4 devices.

It is reported that these Snapdragon 8 Gen4 devices utilize a new generation of high-density silicon negative electrode batteries. s_644aa9abc07d4623a8e33201c8dd757b.jpg Currently, one of the directions for the evolution of battery technology is the improvement of battery materials. In terms of the negative electrode materials, traditional graphite materials are approaching their performance limits.

Therefore, it is inevitable to switch to higher-performance silicon-based negative electrode materials. Theoretically, the specific capacity of silicon-based negative electrode materials can reach up to 4200mAh/g, nearly 12 times the theoretical limit of graphite negative electrodes.

In practical applications, the most noticeable impact is the increase in battery energy density, which is a key reason why manufacturers are investing in silicon-based battery technology.

It is foreseeable that with the support of large capacity batteries reaching 6000mAh, range anxiety will be completely alleviated. s_f2c854fe804b4554af12f00220fdf336.jpg
