OnePlus seems to be working on a smartphone that breaks the rules. Usually, if you want a massive battery, you have to buy a giant, heavy phone. But new reports say the company is testing a “mid-size” device that is comfortable to hold but still packs a battery larger than almost anything else on the market.
The Perfect Middle Ground
According to leaks from China, OnePlus is testing a 6.59-inch flat screen. This is a “sweet spot” size—smaller than the huge Ultra models from Samsung or Apple, but big enough to enjoy games and videos.
The screen is flat, not curved, which many gamers prefer because it stops accidental touches on the edges. The report says this screen is being made by a Chinese supplier to keep costs down while still looking sharp.
A Battery Beast
The most shocking part of this news is the battery size. Engineers have reportedly managed to fit an 8,000mAh battery inside this mid-sized phone.
To compare, most flagship phones today have batteries around 5,000mAh. An 8,000mAh battery could easily last for two or even three days on a single charge. There are even rumors that OnePlus wants to push this to 9,000mAh in the final version. If true, this would completely change what we expect from phone battery life.
High Speed, Low Heat
This phone isn’t just about lasting a long time; it’s built for speed. It is expected to run on the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, making it great for gaming.
Because powerful chips get hot, rumors say OnePlus is testing a cooling fan inside the phone to keep it running smoothly during long gaming sessions. This phone—possibly called the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra—seems designed for people who want high performance without being tethered to a charger.
What Happens Next?
Right now, this phone is still in the testing phase at the factory. While OnePlus hasn’t officially announced it, the leaks are very specific. If this phone launches, it could force other big brands to stop making thin phones with small batteries and start giving users the battery life they actually want.
