Goddam the number of times I was downvoted for complaining that premium phones only had 5000 mAh, when I needed to replace my old Motorola P9 Power that had 6000 mAh.
With comments on how it would make the phones bigger and heavier, when there clearly were improved battery technologies available that could avoid that.
Obviously a premium phone can have better batteries than a 3 year old (at the time) cheap ass $250 phone.
At least many increased battery capacities a bit last generation, but today 7000-8000 mAh should be easy, without adding bulk or weight compared to phones 2 years ago.
Also the complaint is weird when people are OK with the extra bulk and weight from using glass back cover, on top of making the phone more fragile compared to a nice synthetic.
Anyways thanks to Xiaomi for breaking the trend of non development on battery capacities for real. 👍
A OnePlus 15 (released just recently) has a 7300mAh battery, so right within your range. I've not seen much complaining about bulk, either.
Cool, a large capacity battery is nice for many things, like taking pictures or recording movies or gaming, or even just to have some buffer if you suddenly discover it only has 20% left.
And finally a bigger battery last longer, because it requires fewer full recharge equivalents. So if the expected lifespan of a 5000 mAh battery is 5 years, the 7000 mAh can last 7 years!!
