In China, 7,000 mAh batteries are expected to become the norm in smartphones by 2026. Every decent flagship there has already at least surpassed the 6,000 mAh mark. In Europe and the US, however, significantly reduced battery sizes are causing puzzlement among customers. Outdated regulations are to blame, as an insider has now demonstrated using a US example.https://www.notebookcheck.net/How-outdated-regulations-are-hindering-smartphone-battery-development-in-Europe-and-the-US.1051947.0.html
OK, but please explain to me how the Poco F7 with 6500 mAh battery is shipped to Europe but the 7500 mAh version not? As fast as I know, it's a single-cell battery.
Lazy article written by a lazy writer, no information about the regulation, and no information about EU actually having one at all "may also exist for the EU", come on...
It's not outdated regulations that are too blame. Rather if people still will pay top dollar for older technology, there is very little reason for Samsung, Apple and Google to change. Remember, they sell this mediocrity in other parts of the world, like China, where there aren't the same regulations. 🙄
I don't understand. Why would they need to compete or innovate?
They know western governments will either ban Chinese OEMs completely from most local retail stores (e.g. like they did with Huawei) or stick massive tariffs on them making them no longer price competitive? (E.g. kind of like what they're doing with car EVs from China)
Also, aren't china like at the forefront when it comes to like battery chemistry tech? Pretty sure they have patents on this tech. So maybe the other companies don't exist to pay royalties to them, as it would seem like helping the communist regime. (US perspective - lol, idk)
Edit: exist = wish*
