Realme has teased a fascinating prototype ahead of the official unveiling of the Realme GT 7, showcasing a phone with a potentially massive battery capacity and impressive charging speeds. However, the question remains whether this prototype will ever make its way to the UK market.
Recently, Realme’s global X account shared an image of a “10000mAh concept phone” on social media. The standout features of this prototype include a massive 10,000mAh battery and rapid 320W wired charging capabilities.
For comparison, the current market leader in terms of battery size is likely the Nubia Redmagic 10 Pro, which boasts a 7,050mAh battery. In the realm of mainstream smartphones, devices like the OnePlus 13 and Poco X7 Pro with their 6,000mAh batteries fall short of the Realme concept phone’s capacity.
Realme has also set a new benchmark in charging technology with its 320W wired charging, surpassing its own previous record of 240W. In comparison, flagship phones from Samsung and Google offer up to 45W wired charging, highlighting Realme’s technological advancement in this area.
How did Realme squeeze in such a huge battery?
Realme showcased the GT concept phone in a two-minute ‘unboxing video’, where marketing chief Chace Xu highlighted the phone’s key features. Despite the massive battery capacity, the GT concept phone maintains a relatively slim profile at 8.5mm thickness and a weight of just 215g. This feat was made possible by Realme’s innovative use of a 10% silicon anode material in the battery.
Furthermore, Realme employed a “mini diamonds architecture” for component stacking and utilized a compact PCB (printed circuit board) to accommodate the dense battery. The company also emphasized the safety of the super-dense battery, implementing a triple security process to prevent potential swelling or damage from accidental drops.
Why I’m not holding our breath
Despite the impressive features of the Realme GT concept phone, the likelihood of it being released in the UK remains uncertain. The device is currently labeled as a ‘concept phone’, indicating that it may not be commercially available in the near future.
Additionally, Realme has had a mixed track record with product availability in the UK market. The company exited the UK market over a year ago but recently made a cautious return with the Realme 14 Pro series. As a result, the prospect of the 10,000mAh concept phone reaching UK shores seems unlikely at this point.
Nevertheless, the potential of a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery is certainly intriguing. Such a device could potentially offer multi-day battery life, pushing the boundaries of smartphone endurance. While the Realme GT concept phone may be a distant dream for UK consumers, it serves as a testament to Realme’s innovation in the realm of smartphone technology.
