China's MIIT has certified an OPPO phone with model number PNC110, featuring a rated 11,640mAh capacity that probably indicates a typical 12,000mAh battery. The device will likely enter OPPO's budget lineup, competing with high-capacity phones from HONOR.
OPPO plans to compete with HONOR by announcing a 12,000mAh smartphone. A model from the company, with the model number PNC110, was certified by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The certified phone has a rated battery capacity of 11,640mAh, which probably means its typical capacity will be 12,000mAh.
Companies continue to experiment with increasingly larger batteries. Flagship phones with 6,000mAh to 8,000mAh batteries have become a standard in the smartphone world, at least for flagship Android phones from China. Last month, HONOR announced the HONOR Win 2 with a 12,070mAh battery. A recent rumor also said that HONOR plans to bring a phone with a 14,000mAh to 15,000mAh battery to the market.
The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max already has an 8,000mAh battery (7,150mAh in the EU). A 12,000mAh battery capacity is 50% higher than the battery in the company’s flagship.
Which series the new phone will be announced under can only be guessed, but it does not appear to be a flagship phone. The upcoming device will likely be a budget handset. For example, the OPPO A7 Pro Max has a 10,000mAh battery as a budget phone from the company, and there is a good chance this 12,000mAh phone will become its sibling.
OPPO continues to push higher battery capacities in its phones. Silicon-carbon tech made that possible without making the phones thick and heavy.
