After camera megapixels, display nits, and charging watts, battery mAh has become the new resort for the smartphone race. Honor WIN phones debut a 10000mAh battery inside, and Samsung is sitting out of the race as always.

Honor equipped its WIN and WIN RT phones with a 10000mAh battery, a move that Samsung, even Apple, and Google could never pursue.

Samsung tablets cross the 5000mAh battery mark and others stay around this ceiling. The company has also launched a handful of budget phones with 6000mAh batteries, but a 10,000mAh Galaxy can’t even be dreamed of.

Honor WIN and Honor WIN RT come with a massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. The entire focus has put on battery capacity, charging speed, camera megapixels, 185Hz refresh rate, and a fan cooling technology.

Chinese phone makers are aggressively adopting next-gen battery solutions. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is coming soon, and it’s still stuck with a lithium-ion battery. Apple and Google also stick to the conventional battery solutions.

Silicon-carbon battery offers higher capacity without needing to become bigger. It helps OEMs surpass the usual capings when it comes to battery capacity, while retaining a portable yet thin form factor of smartphones.

Optimization is the key

Samsung knows a 5,000mAh battery phone can give immense competition to a 10,000mAh phone. Companies like Apple and Google have also proved that just battery capacity doesn’t decide how long the device will last.

If a phone has a 10,000mAh battery without optimized hardware and software, it won’t deliver the experience it should. Meanwhile, an optimized hardware + software combo offers an all-day battery with 5,000mAh capacity.

It doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be any increment in battery size. Apple improved the capacity of its latest iPhone, helping it defeat others. Samsung is rumored to equip the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a 5,000mAh or 5,200mAh battery.
