The Realme Neo 7 has just set a new screen-on time benchmark among decently-spec'd Android smartphones. Now, there are signs that its successor might have the same massive battery - however, it might eliminate one of the feature's main drawbacks without the unwanted side-effects one might expect.

Realme is one of the brands at the forefront of the ongoing Android smartphone power source revolution with its Titan Batteries that provide an on-trend capacity upgrade without added bulk thanks to cutting-edge silicon-carbon (SiC) technology.

The largest Titan Battery to date is found in the Neo 7, which is touted to stay on for as long as "3 days and 2 nights" per charge thanks to its 7,000mAh rated capacity. Realme also backs it to retain 80% of that original capacity for up to 5 years thanks to its new SiC stability.

However, those new selling points come with a disadvantage, which is that Realme could not make the Neo 7 power back up any faster than 80 watts (W) over USB-C.

The brand claims that it takes only 45 minutes to do so, although that might still look last-gen compared to the OnePlus 13, which is estimated to charge its 6,000mAh battery in as little as 36 minutes thanks to more up-to-date 100W SuperVOOC technology.

However, the world's next 7,000mAh battery is now believed to have overcome that issue, and is able to use that same 100W rate without the risk of uncontrollable malfunctions such as overheating during charging - with a 120W successor in the works for the farther future, moreover.

Accordingly, OEMs such as Realme might be better equipped to combine the advantages of high-capacity batteries and truly fast wired charging in next-gen devices such as the Neo 8. Now, all it needs to do is add wireless charging to that package.
