It appears that a vivo phone may soon join the growing list of smartphones featuring 10,000mAh or larger batteries. According to a tipster, the company is currently testing such a device.
Tipster Digital Chat Station revealed in a Weibo post that vivo is testing a phone equipped with a 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery.
According to the tipster, the device uses a 4.53V single-cell silicon battery that has a rated capacity of 10,000mAh. Meanwhile, its typical capacity is said to range between 11,000mAh and 12,000mAh.
The vivo phone is unlikely to launch anytime soon, as it will need to undergo extensive testing. It is also unlikely to be a flagship model and could instead arrive as a mid-range offering or under the iQOO lineup.
In the last couple of months, several smartphone makers have launched phones with 10,000mAh or higher batteries. Honor unveiled the Win and Win RT with 10,000mAh batteries, and followed it with the Honor Power2 that packs a 10,080mAh cell. We also have the Realme P4 Power, which has a 10,001mAh battery.
