The long-awaited Honor Power2 has debuted in China. This model may look controversial, but the battery could be shared between two similar smartphones and no one would complain!
The Honor Power2's appearance, due to its slightly overly obvious iPhone design inspiration, may be somewhat controversial, but that's probably the only thing worth criticizing about this smartphone. Everything else is, at best, palatable. Of course, the highlight here is the silicon-carbon battery with a capacity of a whopping 10,080 mAh. It will provide almost a day of continuous use – specifically, up to 14 hours of non-stop gaming, 17 hours of navigation, or 26 hours of non-stop movie watching. The battery charges at 80W and can also function as a 27-watt power bank. Importantly, the smartphone is only 7.98 mm thick and weighs 219 g, which is on par with a number of models with batteries half the size.

Honor Power2 features a 6.79-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and up to 1800 nits of brightness. A fingerprint reader is hidden beneath the screen, and a punch-hole cutout for a 16-megapixel selfie camera is located at the top of the display. On the back, there's a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization and an f/1.9 aperture, supported by a modest 5-megapixel wide-angle camera. At the heart of the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite processor, supported by 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and either 256 or 512 GB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. It runs Android 16 with the MagicOS 10 interface, and the casing guarantees dust and liquid resistance with IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings. The 256GB variant costs 2,699 yuan ($385), while the 512GB model costs 2,999 yuan ($430). It's unclear whether the new Honor will be available outside of China.
