Highlights

  • Redmi is testing a 12,000mAh battery for an upcoming smartphone.
  • The device is expected to launch as the Redmi Turbo 6 Max in early 2027.
  • Redmi also plans to release other phones with large batteries,, such as the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, which may have a 10,000 mAh battery.

Reports say Redmi is testing a 12,000mAh battery for a new smartphone, aiming for much longer battery life. If this happens, it would be among the largest batteries in a regular smartphone and could set a new standard for long-lasting devices.

Redmi Turbo 6 Max: The Next Big Leap

Leaks suggest the phone will be called the Redmi Turbo 6 Max, following the Turbo 5 Max, which already has a 9,000mAh battery. Moving from 9,000 mAh to 12,000 mAh shows that Redmi is pushing hard to improve battery technology.

According to reports, Redmi’s smartphone with a 12,000 mAh battery might see the light of day in the first quarter of 2027. However, the exact date has not yet been confirmed. If a 12,000 mAh smartphone becomes a reality, it could attract power users, gamers, and professionals seeking longer battery life without constant charging.

Industry Trend: Bigger Batteries on the Rise

Redmi’s focus on larger batteries aligns with a broader trend in the smartphone industry. Recently, Honor had launched phones with 10,000 mAh batteries, and Vivo released the Y600 Pro with a 10,200 mAh battery in China.

Brands that make rugged phones have led the way with big batteries, but now mainstream companies like Redmi could make high-capacity batteries more common.

What to Expect from the Device

While full details are not yet available, a 12,000 mAh battery would require advanced battery management, fast charging, and efficient chips to keep performance and heat in check. Redmi is also expected to work on keeping the phone’s design practical, which is often hard with such large batteries.

More Redmi Devices with Big Batteries Incoming

Along with the Turbo series, Redmi is planning more new phones. The Redmi Note 17 series is expected to launch in China, and the Note 17 Pro Max may feature a 10,000 mAh battery. This shows Redmi’s focus on bigger batteries.

Redmi might also launch the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max later this year, probably in October. These top models are expected to have large batteries as well, but reports suggest they may not exceed 10,000 mAh.

A New Era of Battery Innovation

If Redmi does release the Turbo 6 Max with a 12,000mAh battery, it could change what people expect from smartphone battery life. As users want more time for gaming, streaming, and work, longer battery life could soon set brands apart in the crowded smartphone market.

As the push for bigger batteries grows, Redmi seems ready to take the lead, potentially ushering in a new era of smartphones with much longer battery life.

FAQs

Q 1. What battery capacity is Redmi testing?

Redmi is reportedly testing a massive 12,000mAh battery for a future smartphone.

Q 2. Which device is expected to feature this battery?

YouTube Introduces PiP Feature for Free; Focus on User Convenience and Engagement

0

Highlights

  • YouTube is making Picture-in-Picture (PiP) available worldwide for users without a paid subscription.
  • With PiP, users can watch videos in a small window while doing other tasks on their phones.
  • The free PiP feature works only for non-music videos. Playing music in PiP is still just for Premium users.

YouTube has launched its long-awaited Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature worldwide, and for the first time, free users can access it. Before this, only Premium subscribers or people in certain places, like the United States, could use PiP. Now, more people around the world can watch videos while using other apps on their phones.

What is Picture-in-Picture (PiP)?

Picture-in-Picture, or PiP, lets users keep watching a video in a small window while they use other apps on their phone. The video keeps playing even when you switch apps, and you can move or resize the mini-player on your screen.

This means you can reply to messages, check social media, or read emails without stopping your video. Multitasking becomes easier and more efficient.

How the Feature Works

Using PiP is easy. Just start a YouTube video and leave the app, the video keeps playing in a small window on your screen. You can play, pause, or quickly go back to full-screen mode from the mini-player.

There is one limitation: free users can only use PiP for long-form, non-music videos. Playing music in PiP is still only for YouTube Premium subscribers.

Is It Free or Paid?

Users don’t need a Premium subscription to use PiP, as it is now free globally; however, Premium users will get extra benefits, like using PiP for music videos and watching without advertisements.

How PiP Enhances User Experience

With the introduction of the free PiP feature, YouTube aims to improve its overall usability. It transforms the app from a single-task platform into a multitasking-friendly service. Users can now stay productive without missing out on their favourite content, whether it’s watching tutorials while taking notes or streaming podcasts while browsing.

This change matches how people use smartphones today, where multitasking is important. By making PiP free, YouTube is making its app easier to use and more focused on users’ needs.

What It Means Going Forward

Making PiP free worldwide shows that YouTube is prioritising user convenience and engagement. Even though Premium features are still available, giving everyone access to PiP will likely help YouTube attract and keep more users.

As PiP becomes available to more people in the coming months, YouTube is changing how we watch videos on our phones. The experience is becoming smarter, smoother, and more flexible than ever.

FAQs

Q 1. What is YouTube’s Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature?

YouTube PiP allows videos to play in a small floating window so users can multitask while watching content.

Q 2. Is the PiP feature free for all users?

Yes, YouTube has made PiP free globally, but it is limited to non-music content for free users.

Q 3. Can I use PiP for music videos on YouTube?

No, PiP for music videos is still restricted to YouTube Premium subscribers.
