OPPO A7 Ultra tipped to feature 12,000mAh battery
It looks like OPPO are readying their biggest battery phone yet. A tipster has said that the OPPO A7 Ultra could be their new phone featuring a massive 12,000mAh battery. This has been backed up by documentation filed to a regulatory body. So while we await confirmation on the name, release date, and specifications, it’s safe to assume this is an early leak.
Leaked details
A tipster with a good history of leaking Chinese phones, Digital Chat Station, posted on Weibo saying that the OPPO A7 Ultra will be released in December and will be touted as having a massive 12,000mAh battery. It could also be the model with the horizontal camera module at the back of the phone. We have no confirmation on the name of the phone.
Documentation
The model number PNC110 has been certified through China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It shows that it has a rated battery capacity of 11640 mAh, but typically will have a capacity of around 11900mAh. This is why it will be dubbed as having a 12,000mAh battery. It does confirm it will support 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also shows it will have dual SIM support.
Comparisons with the A7 series
If this leak is true, the A7 Ultra will definitely be a step up from the current A7 series. This is because the A7 Pro Max was released in China earlier with a 10,000mAh battery. The regular A7 Pro has an 8,000mAh battery, but does include 45W fast charging. The A7 Pro also includes a MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Max chip, 6.57 inch 120Hz OLED screen, military grade durability and IP69K protection. While the A7 Ultra will be an upgraded version of this, there is no confirmation on what chip, display or charging speed it will have.
What we know
There is no real information on what chip, display, or fast charging speed it will have. The only big selling point at the moment is the battery. There is also no information on if the phone will make it to India, as OPPO have not announced anything for the indian markets. As it will have a massive battery it will likely be quite thick and heavy, so the design will be key.
Should I wait?
If you’re looking for a phone with a long lasting battery, then this is an interesting device. However, due to the December release date, and no confirmation on if it will be available in India, it’s best to take this as a target. Until OPPO announce the phone, compare the battery to the OPPO A7 Pro Max and other big battery phones when they announce the official details.
