Smartphones with large batteries have become a growing trend in recent times, with HONOR pushing the envelope with its Win series that debuted a large 10,000mAh cell. Besides that, there are a handful of other models with battery capacities between 7,000 and 9,000mAh. According to a new rumor, OPPO might be next in the race with a large 10,000mAh battery.
OPPO is reportedly working on an A-series phone with a large 10,000mAh battery
Tipster Digital Chat Station, in a new post on Weibo, reports that OPPO is currently working on a new mid-range A-series device with a massive 10,000mAh battery (rated capacity of 9,700mAh). Although we don’t have a name yet, it will allegedly have a large LTPS OLED display with 1.5K resolution and flat edges.
While he hasn’t explicitly mentioned the chipset the phone will feature, it’ll apparently be built on a 4nm process. Considering the A-series is OPPO’s mid-range segment, it may not be any high-end SoC. It’s widely speculated that it could be the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 or a Snapdragon 6 series chip. If it’s a MediaTek chip, it could be the Dimensity 7500 or 7400.
It’ll also be quite durable against drops
He further adds that the upcoming OPPO A-series phone will sport a plastic body. His exact words (translated) are, “made of high polymer drop-resistant materials.” OPPO usually promotes its A-series phones for their tough builds and enhanced durability. So the upcoming model appears to continue OPPO’s focus on durability.
Lastly, Digital Chat Station claims the OPPO phone will start at around CNY 2,000, which roughly translates to $296. That’s relatively affordable considering what’s on offer. Unfortunately, the leak doesn’t reveal any other details about the phone at the moment. But the tipster’s upcoming posts in the coming days should have more info.
That said, the OPPO A-series phone may be exclusive to China. Even if it expands, it’ll be available only in select regions.
