Honor made headlines earlier this year by launching the Honor Power, the first mainstream smartphone with an 8,000mAh battery. Building on that momentum, the brand unveiled the Honor X70 with an even larger 8,300mAh battery earlier this month. Now, a new leak suggests Honor could be working on a phone with a massive 10,000mAh battery.
Could it be a Honor Power series phone?
According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, Honor is likely to begin testing a mid-range smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery in the first half of 2026. He also mentioned that the handset could have a body thickness of under 8.5mm, despite the large battery. However, no other specifications have been revealed yet.
It’s worth noting that testing does not confirm a launch next year. If the development progresses smoothly, the phone might debut as part of the Honor Power series, whose first-generation model featured an 8,000mAh battery. Hopefully, future reports will shed more light on the device’s specifications and design.
Other brands join the big-battery race
Honor isn’t the only brand focusing on large battery capacities. Oppo just launched the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, both equipped with a 7,000mAh battery and 80W fast charging. Similarly, Realme is expected to launch the Realme 15 Pro later this week in India, featuring the same battery and charging specs.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Redmi Note 15 Pro+ and iQOO Z10 are rumoured to feature 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh batteries, respectively. Even the upcoming Xiaomi 16 series, expected to debut in China in September, may include a 7,000mAh battery. It’s clear that 7,000mAh+ batteries are becoming increasingly common in both mid-range and flagship phones, marking a shift in priorities toward battery life.
