Honor looks set to expand its mid-range lineup with the X80i. Details shared by Chinese tipsters on Weibo give a fairly complete picture of what to expect, even though the company hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

The phone is said to feature a 6.6-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. One number that stands out is the claimed 6,500 nits peak brightness. If accurate, that would be a significant jump over last year’s X70i, which peaks at 3,500 nits. The device is also expected to stay relatively slim at 7.34mm and weigh around 185g, which is interesting considering the battery size.

Speaking of which, the X80i could pack a 7,000mAh battery, with a rated capacity of around 6,800mAh listed on TENAA. Charging is expected to be capped at 45W, which isn’t the fastest, but seems like a reasonable trade-off given the capacity.

Performance duties are handled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100, with some reports suggesting a Dimensity 7050 variant for certain markets. Either way, it should be enough for everyday tasks, light gaming, and general multitasking without much trouble.

The camera setup looks fairly simple. Leaks mention a dual rear system with either a 108MP or 50MP main sensor depending on the version, paired with a 5MP secondary camera. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter. Nothing particularly ambitious here, but likely in line with the phone’s positioning.

Other details include an in-display fingerprint sensor, a metal frame for a more premium feel, and what’s described as an AI shortcut button.

There’s still no word on pricing or an exact launch date, but based on these early details, the Honor X80i seems to be shaping up as a battery-focused mid-ranger with a strong emphasis on display quality.
