In 2026, smartphone batteries are smarter, faster, and more durable than ever, but they're still not invincible. Whether you're using the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max or a flagship Android like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, your phone's lithium-ion battery still ages with every charge. The good news?

It was only yesterday when realme unveiled the realme GT 7 series with a 7,000mAh battery pack. But the company is not done with that, as it was reported that there are plans for a 7,500mAh phone by the end of 2025.
