If there’s one thing we always crave more of when using our smartphones, it’s going to be better battery life. And while we’ve seen some awesome advancements in charging speeds over the past decade, battery technology hasn’t seen quite the same types of leaps in improvements.
Faster charging is the only thing I want from 2024 flagship phones
Can we please get over those dog slow 25W chargers already?
Lucky for us, it looks like things could actually change this year, and surprisingly, OnePlus is going to be the one that brings it. The brand has teased a new era of battery tech, with its new “Glacier Battery” technology that is set to be announced on June 20.
This could really be the start of something new
The company made a series of announcements on its Weibo page, first sharing that it was the beginning of a new era for battery tech, with new high-performance batteries set to arrive in high-performance phones (via Android Authority). The brand also shared in a follow-up post how this new technology would bring more capacity, and eliminate frequent charging and battery anxiety.
Apparently, this new battery technology will be built in conjunction with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL), one of the largest battery technology companies in the world. And while all of this sounds great, what does this all actually mean? Of course, much of this is still quite vague on purpose, as the company wants to keep much of this under wraps until its June 20 event.
But if you’re someone that hates waiting, a frequent and reliable leaker, Digital Chat Station, has managed to share the potential details of what’s to come. According to Digital Chat Station, the new Glacier Battery tech will actually find its way into a future phone from the brand. The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro does not have a release date but is slated to arrive with an impressive 6,100mAh battery, and the size of the battery will not be excessively large, coming in at just “8.xmm.”
Best of all, this new Glacier Battery will still also have fast charging capabilities, with support for up to 100W charging speeds, bringing the best of both worlds, with great charging and capacity in one nice package. Of course, this is very exciting, as battery tech hasn’t made any real meaningful jumps in so many years.
But we’ll have to wait and see what other technologies this battery will offer and see how the brand can expand this benefit for consumers. If this new tech can really do what it promises, it may add more to the conversation, and could really be the start of a whole new era in mobile tech.
