Battery Supernova: OnePlus Set to Shatter Records with 9,000mAh ‘Turbo’ Smartphone
News Tech, 27 December, 2025, SHENZHEN: In a move that could redefine smartphone endurance, OnePlus has officially teased a new high-performance series dubbed the OnePlus Turbo. The headline feature of this upcoming lineup is a massive 9,000mAh battery, a capacity that would make it the largest ever seen in a mainstream smartphone.
Internal reports and benchmarking leaks suggest the device is designed to be a “performance and battery life supernova,” targeting gamers and power users who prioritize long-term usage over all else.
The Technology: Silicon-Carbon Breakthrough
The leap from the current industry standard of 5,000mAh to a staggering 9,000mAh is made possible by Silicon-Carbon (Si-C) battery technology.
- Energy Density: By using silicon anodes instead of traditional graphite, OnePlus can pack more power into a smaller physical footprint.
- Form Factor: Despite the massive cell, leaked images show a device that remains relatively slim. It is tipped to weigh roughly 217 grams, keeping it in line with modern flagship weights.
- Charging: To manage the large capacity, the phone will support 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, ensuring that even this “power bank on wheels” can be topped up in approximately an hour.8
