In one year, the average battery capacity of a smartphone has grown from 4000 to 4500mAh. This allows a smartphone to be used for longer before it needs to be recharged.
These are the most frequently asked questions about smartphone batteries: when does a large smartphone battery arise? Can battery capacities of 3800 and 4000mAh be categorized as large? Or is there only a large battery when it comes to 4500 or 5000mAh? These questions are not about the size of the battery, but about the size of the capacity – and thus a charge current before the battery needs to be recharged.
It can be quite difficult to answer these questions, because the size of a battery capacity mainly depends on the year in which a phone was released. The iPhone 6 came out in 2014. This smartphone had a fairly large battery capacity, but if that same capacity were used for the iPhone SE that came out this year, it would be considered laughably small. More modern phones have also started to use more power.
At the end of last year, the average battery capacity of smartphones over recent years was mapped for the first time. It was examined whether there was a relationship between the size of a battery capacity and its operating time. Conclusion: The battery capacity has more than doubled in recent years, but the volume of telephones has not grown by a battery volume in six years. It remains to be seen whether the average battery capacity will continue to grow this fast.
