I would think people would be put off by the shorter battery life of the Si-Ca batteries, but considering how people throw their phones away after 1-2 years, they probably don't care. 🤣

If you don't put a minimum of 6,000mAh-7,000mAh in your flagship, it is DOA.


5,xxxmAh is too little, too late.


Comparing the OnePlus 16 (9,000mAh) with the iPhone 18 Pro Max (5,567mAh) in testing, when the iPhone gets to 0%, the OnePlus is still at 50%. Regardless of efficiency (less is more), a bigger battery is desirable (more is more).

I have had the OnePlus 13 (6,000mAh) for 2 years now, with 533 charging cycles. I still have 96% battery health.

Samsung is having hard time even keeping up with that 2-year old tech (5,700mAh still falls short). I'm looking forward to my next phone with 8,000-9,000mAh.

Not defending any of the OEM's that still aren't updating their battery tech *cough* Samsung *cough*, but this statement is a bit extreme.

If a users' only exposure to smartphones is Apple, Samsung, or Google, then that might sound like a lot. But take a look at OnePlus, Oppo, RedMagic, Xiaomi, Or even this new Motorola. They range from 7,000mAh-9,000mAh.


Especially with prices soaring, I can't justify spending that much and getting a sub-par battery. The hardware should justify the raise in prices.
