Smartphone gods, please let this 3,700mAh battery really be for the OnePlus 6T
July 01, 2025
OnePlus alreadyinformed everyonethat its upcomingOnePlus 6Twill have a larger battery relative to theOnePlus 6. What OnePlus did not say, however, was how much larger that battery would be. According to a leaked photo from Chinese microblogging site Weibo, we might know what that increase looks like.
Reported byMySmartPrice, the leaked photo shows the OnePlus 6T’s alleged 3,700mAh battery. That represents an approximate 12 percent increase over the 3,300mAh battery in the OnePlus 6, which we found to be well above average in our testing.
The OnePlus 6T’s alleged battery size is still smaller than other flagships like theSamsung Galaxy Note 9andHUAWEI P20 Pro, which feature 4,000mAh batteries. Larger batteries in smartphones are always welcome — as long as they do notspontaneously combust in your pocket.
Funnily enough, theOPPO R17 Proalso features a 3,700mAh battery. The OnePlus 6T’s designallegedly comes from the R17 Pro, so similar battery sizes would make sense.
A larger battery would not be the only new thing about the OnePlus 6T. Based on previous rumors, the upcoming smartphone also features a waterdrop notch and a slightly thicker chassis to accommodate the new technology.
We also expect a slightly higher price tag relative to the OnePlus 6 and know that the device will lack aheadphone jack, the latter of which caused quite the stir when OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei made the controversial announcement earlier in September.
As a consolation, each OnePlus 6T will include a USB Type-C adapter to help owners with the adjustment. OnePlus also unveiled a new pair ofBullets V2 earbudsthat feature a USB Type-C connector.
We will not have to wait very long to learn everything there is to know about the OnePlus 6T — rumors peg an October 17 launch for the smartphone. Be sure to check back with us whenever OnePlus officially announces the OnePlus 6T.
