Realme has been working towards pushing normal-sized phones to 10,000mAh battery capacity. Earlier this year, the company showed off a prototype that measures only 8.5mm thick and weighs 215g. A version ready for stores will not be ready this year, though – but it is coming fairly soon.
According to VP of Realme Chase Xu, the 10,000mAh phone will be ready for launch at the beginning of 2026. It’s not clear whether this will be based on the Realme Chill Fan Phone concept, which was shown off at the 828 Fan Festival. This concept device has a cooling fan paired with a built-in Peltier element (a thermoelectric cooler). The company also showcased a device with a 15,000mAh battery.

But those are for the future. Realme is expected to launch a phone with a 7,500mAh battery this year. Currently, the company has several models with 7,000mAh batteries and two with 7,200mAh (Neo7 Turbo and the GT7 in China). So, 7,500mAh will be a fairly small step towards greater things to come – 10,000mAh early next year and beyond after that.
