Chinese Phone Batteries Are Just Getting Out of Hand

Just a week after OnePlus made the (frankly, very frustrating) announcement of a new Android flagship with a monstrous 9,000mAh battery, Beijing-based rival Xiaomi is already clapping back. The largest Chinese smartphone vendor has revealed the specs and design of its upcoming flagship, the Redmi K100, and while it didn’t provide specific battery numbers, it claims the capacity is in the neighborhood of an unnecessarily bonkers 10,000mAh.

Xiaomi announced in a somewhat dramatic Weibo post Monday (its description of the handset translates to something like “dual-chip demon king”) that the K100 will launch on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. (China time, presumably) and would aim to have the best battery life in its price range. Of course, we don’t actually know the price of this device yet, so that comment is not useful whatsoever, but on paper, it is true that we’re looking at one of the largest battery capacities on an Android phone. For context, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery, and Google’s Pixel 11 Pro XL sports a slightly larger one. The K100, next to those, is basically a battery pack with a screen.

S. tech. We’ve got folding iPhones and microscopic Xbox controllers , sure. But I’m not convinced we’ve got anything going on that’s quite like the battery arms race currently underway among Chinese brands. Honor’s Power2 , released earlier this year, has a capacity of slightly more than 10,000mAh, a 26% increase over its predecessor . The Realme P4 Power also crossed the 10,000mAh threshold this year.
