Realme has started teasing a new P-series phone in India. Although the brand has not confirmed its moniker yet, the teasers suggest that it could be the Realme P5 or a P5-series phone. Here’s a look at what is known about this phone so far.
Realme P5 series to pack 10,001mAh battery
The teasers that have surfaced on Flipkart appear to align with a recent X post that claimed the Realme RMX5107 phone, which has appeared in the BIS certification database, is an upcoming P-series device.
What stands out about this phone is a leaked image of the Realme RMX5107 that emerged last month, revealing that it will pack a massive 10,001mAh battery. The leaked image also suggested that the device will feature a quad-curved display, 12GB of RAM, 14GB of virtual RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. The rest of its specifications remain under wraps.
Hopefully, the upcoming teasers will reveal the official moniker and more details about its specifications. The phone is expected to break cover by the end of this month.
Xpert Take
Over the past few years, smartphone brands have focused heavily on increasing fast charging speeds, reaching up to 240W on commercial devices. More recently, however, the industry has shifted its attention towards increasing battery capacity through silicon-carbon technology, which enables higher energy density without significantly increasing device thickness. While fast charging speeds on flagships now appear to have stabilised around the 100W to 120W mark, battery capacities are steadily climbing.
With Realme preparing to launch a smartphone featuring a 10,001mAh battery early this year, it would not be surprising to see more devices arrive with 7,000mAh to 9,000mAh batteries in the coming months. That said, 10,000mAh batteries may remain limited to select models. This trend also puts pressure on brands like Samsung, whose flagship devices continue to offer 5,000mAh batteries, making a capacity increase in future generations increasingly likely.
