upcoming OnePlus device, rumored to have a massive 7800mAh battery (per Wccftech).
and it would absolutely smoke the 5,000 and 4,685mAH batteries in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Instead, Apple and Samsung seem to be prioritizing thinness at all costs, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear beyond aesthetics and bragging rights. It’s been years since I’ve heard anyone complain about how thick a phone is, if not a decade or more. Complaints have trended in the opposite direction, I’d say – without a case, some phones can be so thin and slippery that they’re hard to grip securely. Even my wife’s OnePlus 9 5G has that issue. A few foldables, like Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold , are so thin when open that they feel like they might bend or snap.
The phone only really needs 12 hrs of battery life
Now that’s a hot take. Why?
Because nobody who isn’t sleeping next to an outlet is using their phone for more than 12 hours a day
Depending on your usage - current phones don’t last 12 hours.
My wife latest iPhone cannot last through the day
Your wife is using more than 12hours of screentime away from an outlet everyday?
Oh u giving apple too much credit. They won’t last nowhere near 12 hours.
They don’t last through the day. And yes by the time iphone dies she might not be near the outlet.
And adding insult to injury - apple charging is what 15-30 watts?
It’s 4x slower charging than modern androids. Like my wife is tech illeterate but was genuinely impressed how fast OnePlus charges. I didnt even bring it up, she don’t even know the brand name, we used 8t as baby monitor - she was like “I cannot believe how fast this phone charges”
