HONOR is reportedly pushing the boundaries of smartphone battery technology yet again, as rumors indicate its next device — the Power 2 — could pack a staggering 10,000mAh battery. According to industry leaks and tipster insights, the device is on track for a launch in the first half of 2026, positioning itself as a game-changer for users who demand longevity from their mobile devices.
Taking Battery Innovation Further
Building on the success of the HONOR Power, launched earlier in April 2025 with an 8,000mAh battery, the Power 2 is expected to push capacity even further while maintaining a slim and sleek profile. This is likely thanks to HONOR’s continued investment in silicon-carbon battery technology, which is designed to maximize battery life without making the phone excessively bulky.
Development Progress and Industry Speculation
The news gained traction after the popular Chinese tech insider Digital Chat Station reported that an unnamed brand was about to enter the NPI (New Product Introduction) phase with a 10,000mAh smartphone. While the tipster refrained from naming HONOR directly, speculation on social media — particularly on Weibo — points strongly toward the Power 2 as the mysterious device in question.
Mid-Range Focus and Market Trends
Despite the massive battery, reports suggest the Power 2 will target the mid-range market, bringing flagship-level battery endurance to a broader consumer base. This shift is in line with HONOR’s recently announced strategy to standardize 7,000mAh batteries on flagship models and 8,000mAh batteries on mid-range devices—a move that’s already underway with new launches like the HONOR X70, which features an 8,300mAh silicon-carbon cell.
The Big Battery Race Is Heating Up
HONOR isn’t alone in the quest for extreme battery life. OPPO’s K30 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro both deliver 7,000mAh batteries with 80W fast charging, while Realme’s 15 Pro matches these specs. Meanwhile, upcoming devices like the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ and iQOO Z10 are rumored to ship with 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh batteries, respectively. Even Xiaomi’s forthcoming 16 series may join the 7,000mAh club. However, brands like Apple and Samsung are expected to lag in adopting such ultra-high-capacity batteries in their flagship lines for the foreseeable future.
