Power Banks Move Away! Xiaomi Prepares Super Thin Cellphone with 10,000 mAh Battery

Xiaomi is making a splash in the technology world again. After being known for aggressively presenting “above average” specifications at competitive prices, now the Chinese company is reportedly developing a smartphone with a giant 10,000 mAh battery, but still comes in a relatively thin body.

If these rumors are true, then Xiaomi has the potential to change the standards for modern smartphone battery life. Even more interesting, this device is said to have a thickness of under 8.5 mm, a figure that is relatively slim even for current flagship phones.

For years, large battery capacity has often been synonymous with thick and heavy bodies. However, the latest rumors say that Xiaomi has succeeded in finding a new balance between design and durability.

This mysterious smartphone reportedly carries:

• 10,000 mAh battery
• Fast cable charging up to 100W
• Super fast wireless charging
• The thickness is less than 8.5 mm

If all these specifications are truly realized, then Xiaomi will record a major achievement in smartphone design engineering.

A battery capacity of this size is theoretically capable of providing two to three days of use, even for heavy users such as gamers, content creators or travelers.

New Trend: Smartphones with Extreme Durability

This rumor also shows that Xiaomi is not the only brand that is heading towards the super-large battery trend. It was also stated that Honor is preparing a cellphone with similar specifications in the Win series line, both carrying a 10,000 mAh battery and 100W charging.

This means that the smartphone industry is starting to move in a new direction, battery life of several days no design compromises. This is the answer to complaints from users who have had to carry a power bank everywhere, even though they use a high-end cellphone.

Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco?

Until now, it is still unclear under which brand this cellphone will be released. Xiaomi has several sub-brands with different characters:

• Xiaomi (flagship & premium)
• Redmi (value & performance)
• Poco (advanced users & gaming)

Seeing the focus on large batteries and extreme fast charging, there is a lot of speculation that this device could be a Redmi or Poco, considering that these two brands are often Xiaomi’s “technology laboratories” before being brought into the flagship line.

However, it is not impossible for Xiaomi to make it an iconic product to show their innovation capabilities at a global level.

Fast Charging Is Key

A large battery without fast charging would certainly be a nightmare. Fortunately, this rumor mentions support for 100W wired charging, which in theory can charge in a short time even though the battery capacity is very large.

Plus, fast wireless charging is also said to be present. This indicates that Xiaomi wants to provide a practical premium experience, without having to always depend on cables.

In the context of modern lifestyle, a smartphone with a 10,000 mAh battery feels very relevant. High mobility, content consumption, navigation, gaming, and on-device AI make battery life a top priority again.

If Xiaomi is successful in presenting this device at a competitive price, it is not impossible that smartphone battery standards will shift drastically in the next few years.

Currently, rumors say this device will launch next year, but there is no definite information about the launch time or other specifications such as chipset, camera or screen.
