Forget power banks, smartphones with massive 8,500 mAh batteries coming soon
This expansion has primarily been attributed to advancing silicon-carbon tech, which makes it possible to include larger capacity batteries in a smaller surface area. This is why you are seeing huge batteries in smartphones that are, more or less, a similar size to normal phones.
But what if we told you that there could be plans in the future to bring even larger batteries, with as much as 8,500 mAh capacity? This information comes from the tipster Digital Chat Station. 8,500 mAh batteries in phones: What we know so far
The tipster, citing supply chain sources, says that the battery capacity of upcoming next-generation smartphones could reach as much as 8,500 mAh for single-cell designs by next year, 2026. There is also preliminary research at the lab stage, where 9,000 mAh batteries are seemingly being tested.
Now, how will these batteries gain such a huge capacity without increasing in size? Well, it could primarily lie with the fact that the silicon content in these batteries could increase from the current percentage, which revolves around 10%, and this may be boosted to around 25 to 30%. There is also potential talk about metal-shell batteries, which also offer larger capacity, but the volume remains the same.
So, all in all, this is good news for people who want no battery anxiety and who do not like to charge their phones. But the interesting part is that we have already had smartphones with 7,500 mAh batteries, so this is definitely not a far-fetched dream. These smartphones already offer huge batteries
If you think about large batteries in phones released recently, a few names immediately come to mind. The Poco F7 was released earlier in June, and it offers a huge 7,550 mAh battery. You can check out the unboxing here, as well as the comparison with the Realme GT 7. Speaking of the Realme GT 7, it is another phone with a massive 7,000 mAh battery.
So, if you think about it, we have already seen huge batteries in phones, and all of these are notably powered by silicon-carbon batteries. The direction that the smartphone industry is taking in this regard already seems to be towards large batteries becoming a reality.

5G Smartphone Shipments Capture 87% Of Overall India Market In April-June
New Delhi: 5G smartphone shipments accounted for 87 per cent of the overall India market in the April-June quarter, marking a 20 per cent yearly increase, a report showed on Wednesday. Notably, 5G smartphones priced between Rs 8,000 and Rs 10,000 recorded over 600 per cent year-on-year growth, reflecting surging demand for affordable 5G access, according to the report by CyberMedia Research (CMR) India. India's smartphone market grew 8 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in Q2 2025. The growth was fuelled by rising adoption of affordable 5G smartphones, strong channel push, and a wave of strategic new launches across key price bands. 'The Rs 10,000-Rs 13,000 5G smartphone segment witnessed over 138 per cent YoY growth in Q2 2025. This surge was primarily driven by the growing demand for value-for-money 5G smartphones among first-time smartphone upgraders,' said Menka Kumari, senior analyst, Industry Intelligence Group (IIG) at CMR. Apple posted strong double-digit growth in India, capturing a 7 per cent market share, fuelled by strong demand for premium smartphones. The iPhone 16 series -- especially the iPhone 16e -- was a major growth driver. In the premium segment (above Rs 50,000), Apple's market share grew by 54 per cent on-year. Vivo captured the top spot with 19 per cent market share, while Samsung secured second spot with 16 per cent overall market share in Q2 2025. In the full year 2025, CMR anticipates the Indian smartphone market to witness moderate growth, with shipments growing in single digits. 'The second half of the year will be pivotal, driven by new smartphone launches timed with the festive season. Upcoming flagship smartphone launches are expected to drive heightened consumer interest and accelerate device upgrade cycles,' said Pankaj Jadli, analyst, Industry Intelligence Group at CMR. While there is growing awareness of AI-led features, they remain a marginal factor in actual purchase decisions, with consumers prioritising core smartphone attributes like battery life, camera quality, and overall performance,' Jadli added.

Microsoft to reportedly tighten office attendance policy: Employees could be asked to..
Microsoft is reportedly considering implementing a stricter work-from-office policy from January 2025, according to a new report by Business Insider. Notably, this development comes soon after the tech giant laid off 15,000 employees this year. Microsoft has laid off 15,000 employees this year.(Ronny Hartmann/AFP) As part of this stricter policy, Microsoft could require its employees at various offices, such as its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, to be present in the office more often. However, according to the publication's sources, this has not yet been finalised, but a decision and an announcement could be made in September. Microsoft's Major Change Could Mandate Office Presence 3 Days a Week This would be a major change, considering Microsoft has had a flexible policy that allows employees to work remotely for 50% of their time. Under this new policy, employees could be asked to return to the office for a minimum of three days a week. This move would bring Microsoft in line with other major tech players, such as Meta. Other tech giants have already ended their fully remote work policies. In 2023, Meta mandated that staff work from the office at least three times a week and spend two days working remotely, while those hired as remote workers could continue to work from home. Similarly, in April 2024, Google asked staff to attend the office at least three days a week and this also applied to those who had been previously allowed to permanently work-from-home. Amazon also recently asked employees to return to the office after giving them a 30-day deadline to decide if they want to relocate. The same applies to Dell, which asked employees living within an hour of its offices to work from the office five days a week. MOBILE FINDER: iPhone 16 LATEST Price, Specs And More
