Honor Reportedly Developing 10000mAh Battery Smartphone with Dimensity 8500 Chipset

Honor is said to be getting ready to release yet another battery-centric phone, and this time around, the brand may be taking things even further with a record 10000mAh battery pack. As for the device's name and aesthetics, that is still a secret, but preliminary leaks have already shown us some significant information about the innards. If accurate, this would represent one of the largest battery capacities ever to be included in a mass-market smartphone, setting it up as a workhorse for individuals who value long battery life over multiple charging sessions per day.

Leak Suggests Dimensity 8500 SoC and Huge Battery in upcoming Honor Device

Honor is developing a new device that will be featuring MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 chipset and a massive 10000mAh battery, says popular Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation. This pairing indicates attention to both performance and power efficiency, so users would enjoy the best of both worlds – seamless multitasking and awe-inspiring standby times.

The Dimensity 8500 is a powerful mid-range SoC designed on TSMC's 4nm process. It comes with an octa-core 1+3+4 CPU design, such as eight Cortex-A725 cores for increased processing speed and better AI capabilities. Coupled with the Mali-G720 GPU, the processor is capable of managing graphically intensive tasks like gaming, video editing, and severe multitasking without any hassle. Combining 5G connectivity and better power efficiency, the Dimensity 8500 may be the ideal candidate for a device that is designed to deliver marathon battery life.

A Successor to the Honor Power Series?

This upcoming phone is rumored to be the next-generation Honor Power smartphone. Last year, Honor introduced its first Power model featuring an 8000mAh battery, which already set new benchmarks for battery longevity in the smartphone industry. The new leak suggests that Honor might be taking things to the next level by adding 2000mAh more capacity, pushing battery life expectations even further.

The new Honor Power has a 6.78-inch AMOLED iso-depth micro quad-curved display with a 2700 x 1224 pixels resolution, 3840Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, 1.07 billion colors support, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4000 nits peak brightness – one of the brightest displays in its category. The phone runs on the third-gen Snapdragon 7 processor along with the Adreno 720 GPU, providing balanced performance for normal use and casual gaming.

Previous Model's Camera and Charging Capabilities

When it comes to cameras, the latest Honor Power features a dual camera with a 50MP primary sensor and a 5MP wide-angle sensor, with up to 10x digital zoom capability. In terms of charging, the 8000mAh cell has 66W super-fast wired charging, which can provide up to 65 minutes of calling with only 2% battery. If the new device with a battery capacity of 10000mAh takes a similar charging route, then it might change how long one can use their phone without having to charge it.

What to Expect Next

Honor has not officially announced the availability of this new 10000mAh battery phone, yet the leaked information suggests very strongly that it might be the new model in Honor Power series, which will further cement the company's position among the ultra-long battery phones. With the power efficiency of the Dimensity 8500 and the huge battery, the new phone will be an ultimate device for heavy phone users, travelers, and phone gamers.

As ever, more tangible information, such as the official title, price, and release date, will be forthcoming within weeks. In the meantime, this enigmatic Honor phone continues to be one of the most highly awaited battery monstrosities on the market.
