Mobile phone batteries have been stagnant for several years, but that won’t be because manufacturers aren’t looking for alternatives. This is difficult because so little can be achieved from Lithium-Ion battery technology. Now OnePlus has announced the new generation batteries on Weibo. We still know a few details, but we know the name of his ally: CATL, world’s largest battery manufacturer.

OnePlus announces that it is collaborating with CATL to develop a new battery they call ‘OnePlus Glacier’. We do not know what materials it will be based on, but as announced by GSMarena, it is a negative silicon electrode-based battery that will offer greater energy density while maintaining fast charging.

One of the first devices to launch this new battery will be the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, which is scheduled to be introduced in China on June 20. According to the latest rumors, this mobile phone will come with the following features: 6,100 mAh and 100W fast charging in a relatively thin body. If this data is confirmed, we will clearly be one step ahead compared to most current terminals.

OnePlus was one of the first companies to invest in battery innovation with the OnePlus 3 and 20W Dash fast charging. In 2016. They will be looking for a similar effect with ‘Glacier’.

OnePlus and CATL talk about a “revolution” in smartphone autonomy. Although it is too early for this, it is interesting to see OnePlus collaborating with the world’s largest battery manufacturer.
