REDMI tests new phone with 100W fast charging and 7000mAh battery

Today, famous tipster Digital Chat Station exposed that Redmi is testing a new smartphone featuring an ultra-large battery and 100W fast charging. This experimental device sports a 7000mAh± battery that, on one hand, brings excellent battery life, but on the other hand, it means big technical challenges, especially when trying to control temperature rise while charging.

The Challenge: Temperature Management

The high power of 100W fast charging, together with the huge 7000mAh battery, generates intense heat when tested. How to dissipate such heat without influencing the safety and long-time use of batteries is a great challenge for Xiaomi engineers.

For this, Redmi would have to either:

Increase the production costs by using advanced cooling technologies, or
Trade off battery capacity with fast-charging capability.

Key Highlights of the Experimental Device

Charging Power: 100W fast charging
Battery Capacity: 7000mAh± (minimum capacity expected is 6500mAh)
Performance: It’s claimed to have excellent battery life, without sacrificing fast charging speed, notwithstanding.

Possible Identity: Redmi Turbo 4 Pro or K80 Ultra?

Speculations put this as either the Redmi K80 Ultra or the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, the latter being a bit more plausible, since the phone’s positioning could well be at the mid-range flagship category. Here is what we know thus far:

Battery Focus: It focuses on unmatched battery life and fast charging.
Processor: Presumably, it would sport the Snapdragon 8s Elite for a strong mid-range flagship candidate.

Redmi’s Inno-vative Batteries: What Next?

If Redmi somehow succeeds in conquering the problem of temperature management, then this may raise new bars for the fast-charging technology in its class with battery performance. One would have a higher screen time from this one, and by using its fast charging capabilities, they would enjoy not spending enough time waiting on it-the perfect package both for extreme users and gamers. — Stay tuned for further updates as Redmi will continue to push the limits with respect to battery and charging technology in its future devices.
