Here's the chipset at the helm of the Honor Power 2, which has a 10,000 mAh battery
The Honor Power made some waves in the industry when it was introduced back in April, thanks to its 8,000 mAh battery. That's still huge even today for a mainstream smartphone, but competitors are working on devices with similar (or slightly larger) sizes - case in point: Redmi. Honor, however, isn't giving up the mAh fight. Instead, it's already developing the Honor Power 2, and this one will have a mind-blowing 10,000 mAh battery. It was first leaked last month, and today a new rumor out of China brings us another piece of the puzzle: the chipset it will use. It will allegedly be the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SoC, so the Power 2 will still decidedly be a mid-range device. Unfortunately, no other specs of the Power 2 have been outed just yet, but that's a solid upper-midrange chip to pair with a humongous battery, so color us excited to hear more in the future - and undoubtedly many other leaks about this phone are coming in the next few days and weeks. For reference, note that the original Honor Power comes with a 6.78-inch 1224x2700 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 4,000-nit peak brightness, a 50 MP main camera, a 5 MP ultrawide, and a 16 MP selfie snapper. Its battery charges at 66W through wires, and it will be interesting to see whether the Power 2 will change that. Source (in Chinese)

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra
Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra's battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It's highly likely that the phone won't offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We're seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it looks like the company could step up with an upcoming phone. Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that HONOR has started testing a device with a 10,000mAh battery and a yet-to-be-released Dimensity 8500 processor. You can view the machine-translated screenshot of the post below. A 10,000mAh phone would have double the battery capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra (5,000mAh). It would also be significantly larger than the OnePlus 13 battery (6,000mAh). In fact, this would also be larger than some Android tablets like the Pixel Tablet (7,020mAh) and Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8,000mAh). Either way, a phone with a 10,000mAh battery would likely offer at least three full days of typical usage. Would you buy a phone with a 10,000mAh battery? 0 votes Yes, absolutely NaN % Maybe, if it's not too thick and heavy NaN % No, I wouldn't NaN % This wouldn't be the first phone with a 10,000mAh battery, as niche brands frequently offer rugged phones with larger batteries. However, these devices tend to be incredibly thick and heavy. By contrast, the previously released HONOR Power has an 8,000mAh battery but measures 7.98mm thin and weighs 209 grams. So we hope this new phone offers a similarly slim and light design. There's no word on a release timeline for this phone, but we hope to see a global release. Unfortunately, EU regulations mean that the device will likely see a huge drop in battery capacity if it comes to Europe. Follow

Poco X8 Pro tipped to launch with Dimensity 8500 SoC and Galaxy S24 Ultra-level benchmarks
Xiaomi is expected to launch a new smartphone early in 2026, initially called the Redmi Turbo 5 in China and likely released globally as the Poco X8 Pro. This upcoming device is set to feature MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 8500 chipset, which could deliver performance comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, a flagship model known for its high benchmarks.

The upcoming device is expected to offer better value by upgrading the processor from the Dimensity 8400 to the more advanced 8500. The new chipset uses TSMC's 4-nanometer manufacturing process and includes the Mali G720 GPU, which enables it to achieve scores above 2,000,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark test, NOTEBOOK Check reported. These performance figures align with those of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor found in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, a top-tier smartphone released less than two years ago. Also read: No humans needed!
