Oppo’s next A-series phone may carry the biggest battery the company has put in a phone. Digital Chat Station says on Weibo that the Oppo A7 Ultra is due around December and that the version with a horizontal camera layout has a 12,000mAh cell.
The tipster calls it a 10,000mAh-class phone, so the exact rated capacity is still loose. The post names no chipset, display, charging speed or price, and the A7 Ultra name and timing are unconfirmed.
The tip matches a handset with the model code PNC110 that was reportedly listed at China’s MIIT licensing body. In the listing it is a purple dual-SIM 5G handset, with a pill-shaped camera bump on the back holding two lenses and a flash. Rated battery figures for that code are said to run from about 11,460mAh to 11,640mAh, a range that would usually be sold as 12,000mAh.
Oppo’s own recent battery sizes show how big a jump this would be. The A6 range last year topped out at 7,000mAh on its main models, the A7 Pro has 8,000mAh, and the A7 Pro Max, launched in China on 4 August and sold abroad later, has 10,000mAh. An A7 Ultra at 12,000mAh would sit well above all of them.
Oppo’s own A7 line has already moved from 8,000mAh to 10,000mAh within a few months, so a further step to 12,000mAh would continue that run rather than come out of nowhere.
Battery size is the one spec on the table; everything else about the phone is unknown, and a teaser from Oppo would be the first real check on the name and the capacity.
