OnePlus tipped to outdo itself with 6,500mAh battery on next smartphone

OnePlus has been pushing the boundaries of smartphone battery capacity. Following the impressive 5,400mAh cell in the OnePlus 12 and the even larger 6,100mAh unit in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, rumours suggest the company is preparing to take things to the next level.

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims an upcoming OnePlus flagship will boast a massive 6,500mAh battery. While the exact model remains unconfirmed, the OnePlus 13 or OnePlus Ace 4 are the prime contenders. The Ace 3's groundbreaking Glacier battery technology, which enables nearly two days of usage and rapid charging without excessive bulk, could be the foundation for this new battery.

Expected alongside these larger batteries are micro-curved flat screens with either 1.5K or 2K resolution. The OnePlus 13 is also rumoured to feature IP68 or IP69 water and dust resistance and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. While release dates are still speculative, the OnePlus 13 is anticipated by the end of this year or early next, with the OnePlus Ace 4 likely arriving in 2025.

OnePlus is diving into the world of on-device artificial intelligence with the introduction of its new AI Eraser. This new feature—available on the OnePlus 12, 12R, 11, Open, and Nord CE 4—lets users remove unwanted objects from photos using the power of generative AI. Similar to Google's Magic Eraser, AI Eraser analyzes the selected area and intelligently replaces it with a background that seamlessly blends into the rest of the image.

This marks a shift for OnePlus, which previously relied on external tools for AI-powered photo editing. The company's use of a proprietary large language model (LLM) called AndesGPT suggests a commitment to further exploring AI capabilities in its smartphones.
