Just a couple of days ago, on the 1st of April, Honor, through its official Weibo account, announced that it will be launching a new smartphone lineup called “Power”. The company teased that these smartphones will bring huge batteries along with ultra-long battery life.
No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke
Although this post was made on the 1st of April, it doesn’t seem like it was an April Fool’s joke. Prior to the post, tech tipsters from China, including Fixed Focus and Digital Chat Station, have shared leaked information about the device on Weibo.
Big battery, super loud speakers, and satellite SMS capabilities
Thanks to high-density batteries such as silicon-carbon, smartphone manufacturers can shove high-capacity batteries into their products without worrying about them taking up too much space or their phones getting too thick.
Instead of packing a 6,000mAh-ish battery, which is already considered pretty large in a typical smartphone today, Honor is said to be going for 8,000mAh batteries for its Power series of devices.
Besides long battery life, these devices are expected to support 80W wired fast charging and include satellite SMS capabilities, enhancing connectivity in remote areas. According to leaks, the first models in the Power series will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 series processor, placing them firmly in the mid-range category.
The Honor Power series won’t be the brand’s first attempt at creating a mid-range smartphone lineup with a specialized focus. For example, the Honor X series prioritizes ultra-durability, offering resistance not only to dust and water but also to drops. The Power series seems to be carving out its niche with a focus on exceptional battery life and enhanced communication features.
Honor has yet to reveal an official launch date, but what do you think about the Honor Power series thus far? Do share your thoughts with us.
