Remember when we were excited about 5,000mAh batteries? Well, buckle up, because it looks like some Android phone makers are planning to take things to a whole new level. I'm hearing whispers about phones rocking 10,000mAh batteries, and possibly even larger!

According to a reliable source, Xiaomi might be developing a phone with a colossal 10,000mAh battery. And get this – it could support 100W wired charging. Imagine charging your phone from zero to full in about an hour! It's a game-changer for those of us who are always on the go.

But Xiaomi isn't the only one. I'm also hearing that realme or OnePlus could be working on a phone with a similar ~10,000mAh battery. What's interesting is that this battery is rumored to be a single-cell unit.

An unnamed manufacturer is apparently testing a phone with an even more mind-blowing 12,000mAh battery. If that isn't enough, they are also testing a prototype with 15,000mAh.

Even HONOR might be in the mix. It's been rumored that they're working on two phones with ~10,000mAh batteries. One might have a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor, while the other could sport a Snapdragon 7 series chipset. It looks like a fierce competition is about to begin.

These batteries will have to comply with regulations in markets like Europe and the US, which limit the maximum capacity of a single battery cell. Some manufacturers get around these restrictions by using dual-cell designs.

While many of these phones seem to be targeting the mid-range or budget segments, it's exciting to think about what this could mean for high-end phones in the future. I think that it's great.
