Why mobile phone manufacturers don't increase battery capacity

Why mobile phone manufacturers don't increase battery capacity


Mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in our lives, but today's mobile phones have a common problem, that is, the battery of mobile phones is too small. The merchants are only willing to make the battery of the mobile phone about 3500 mAh, that is to say, there is still a place that can be used. Why do mobile phone brand manufacturers not want to make the battery bigger?


 


First, the first reason, and the most realistic reason. What are the problems faced after the mobile phone battery becomes larger? That must be the longer charging time, do you like phones that charge very slowly? I definitely don’t like it, so on the contrary, brand owners should also increase the charging power of mobile phones, and the current super fast charge is only 44w, not only brand owners feel low, but also consumers.


 


So overall, the charging experience of large battery phones is too much. It is better to replace the mobile phone battery with 3500 mAh, the charging speed is faster, and it will not affect the battery life too much during use. For brands, they should know how to weigh the weight. Take this year's iqoo as an example, a super fast charge of 44w power is required at only 4000 mAh. This is just satisfaction, and there is no such pleasure as mentioned.


 


And Huawei uses a 55w fast charge. These are all costs. On the road to breaking through the limit, every upgrade means paying a huge price, which will lose the cost performance of the mobile phone. For brand owners This is not necessarily a good thing.


 


Another reason is that brands feel that in terms of battery life, the biggest room for improvement is not the battery, but the hardware. They feel that if the hardware power consumption of the mobile phone can be well controlled, the battery life of the mobile phone will be greatly improved. Take Apple as an example, Apple's mobile phones are famous for low power consumption, and even the processors are single-core or dual-core. And now the Snapdragon 855 processor has reached 8 cores, can the power consumption be the same level? It is also running games, and the power consumption of Snapdragon must be more than that of Apple. So Apple doesn't use more than 2,000mAh of batteries on many models, and it's hard to imagine how long it would take Apple to charge a 5,000mAh battery.


 


And now the hardware upgrade has not been implemented, but the battery upgrade is direct, so many mobile phone brands can't wait and start to enlarge the mobile phone battery, and the user feedback is not very good. In the final analysis, it is not that mobile phone brands are unwilling to do it, but the feedback from consumers makes it a bit "terrifying" that mobile phone brands do not dare to take this risk.


 


The internal space of the mobile phone itself is relatively small, and it is so large in total. It is even more difficult to develop some space, not to mention that there are still some lifting cameras. If you want to make the battery bigger, you can only make the phone bigger. , so that the development trend of mobile phones has become a tablet computer. There is no point in doing this, so there is actually a reason for not making the battery bigger. Either increasing the thickness or expanding the phone is not a feasible solution, and in the end, it can only stagnate.
