Next-gen Realme flagship smartphone tipped to launch with up to 8,000mAh battery

The GT 7 Pro is now officially one of the world's leading flagship Android smartphones in certain ways thanks to its vastly upgraded 6,500mAh (at most) Titan Battery.

Despite its size, Realme claims that it can charge to 100% in as little as 37 minutes with its 120W SuperVOOC power brick (which comes in the box with it when ordered via Amazon). The brand might have something different to say about its next-gen GT, though.

According to veteran leaker Digital Chat Station, Realme is currently mulling an upgrade to a 7,000mAh battery for the GT 8 Pro, even if the change would extend its estimated 120W charging time to 42 minutes.

That's not all, though: the 8 Pro might get an even better 7,500mAh spec - although it has to use slightly slower 100W SuperVOOC charging instead, and, thus, take up to 55 minutes to go from 0 to 100%.

Alternatively, the GT 8 Pro could really stand out with a rated capacity of no less than 8,000mAh. However, again, that upgrade allegedly hampers its charging speed and brings it down to 80W, leaving the smartphone having to charge for up to 70 minutes at a time.

However, becoming known for these super-augmented capacities (presumably based on up-to-date silicon-carbon anode technology like that of the current Titan Battery) might come with the same disadvantage the GT 7 Pro has against its Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered rivals the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15 Pro. They support wireless charging while their Realme counterpart does not.
