The latest Redmi 9000mAh battery leak points to something wild. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is testing a Redmi phone with a battery between 8,500 and 9,000mAh. If true, this would make it one of the largest batteries ever in a regular smartphone.
What’s more surprising is the thickness. The phone is just 8.5mm thick, about the same as most Redmi models. Xiaomi is using a self-developed battery and says it won’t sacrifice charging cycle lifespan. That means users can expect long-term durability along with high capacity.
It’s still unclear which model will get this battery, but some speculate it could be in a future Redmi Turbo or K-series phone. The current record holder is the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched with a 7,550mAh battery earlier this year.
The Redmi 9000mAh battery leak also puts Xiaomi in direct competition with other brands chasing battery records. Honor is rumored to be prepping a phone with a 10,000mAh cell. iQOO has already released models with 8,000mAh batteries. Battery capacity is now the next big spec war, especially as AI features and high-refresh displays demand more power.
If Xiaomi delivers this battery in a slim phone, it could set a new bar for battery life. Whether it becomes a mainstream feature or a niche power-user option, the battery race is heating up fast.
