Honor is launching a brand-new smartphone lineup in China called Power, and unsurprisingly, the first device in the series is simply named the Honor Power. The phone is set to debut on April 15th.

Honor X60

True to its name, the Honor Power is expected to pack a massive battery — one of the largest we’ve seen in a mainstream mid-range phone. And while battery life is clearly the headline feature here, the rest of the specs we’ve heard so far suggest there’s more to this phone than just raw endurance. Here’s what we know so far.

1. A nearly bezel-less display

Honor teased the Power’s design with an official image showing off its front, and the bezels look impressively slim. The teaser also hints at a pill-shaped camera cutout, which might suggest a dual selfie setup — though it’s more likely a single camera paired with a pill-style UI design.

As of now, we don’t have confirmed details about the display’s specs, like resolution or refresh rate.

2. Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 under the hood

While Honor hasn’t officially confirmed the processor, a fresh leak points to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (SM7550). This is the same chip found in devices like the Vivo V30 and OnePlus Nord CE 4.

It is built on a 4nm process and features an octa-core CPU with one Cortex-A715 core clocked at 2.63GHz, three additional A715s at 2.4GHz, and four efficiency-focused A510 cores running at 1.8GHz. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 720 GPU.

3. An 8000mAh battery — yes, really

Now, the real headline. The Honor Power is rumored to come with a huge 8000mAh battery. That would make it one of the largest battery packs in any mainstream smartphone. For context, most phones today hover around the 5000mAh to 6000mAh mark. 

The massive battery will reportedly support 80W fast charging, which should help offset the long charge times usually associated with such a large cell. While rugged phones have gone beyond this capacity before, it’s rare to see a number this big in a more conventional form factor.

4. Satellite messaging and more?

There’s also talk that the Honor Power might support satellite messaging. This feature has mostly been reserved for premium devices so far, so it would be a nice value-add. Especially for users in areas with unreliable connectivity.

That’s about all we know for now. But with the launch just around the corner, we won’t have to wait long to see what else the Honor Power is packing.
