The silicon-carbon battery technology allows a larger capacity in the same physical space as a conventional lithium-ion cell. This is the same battery chemistry used in several other flagship phones in 2026 and is one of the reasons OnePlus can fit 9,000mAh into a phone that is not unusually thick or heavy.
The 80W SUPERVOOC charging means a full charge from empty takes approximately 70 minutes.
