Honor Power2 With 10,080mAh Battery and Dimensity 8500

Honor has unveiled the Power2 in China — a surprisingly slim Android phone packing a staggering 10,080mAh silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery and the new MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite chipset. It promises days of endurance without the bulk of older high-capacity handsets.

Big battery, slim body

Thanks to Si/C anode technology, Honor squeezed a 10,080mAh cell into a 7.98mm chassis that weighs 216 grams. Honor claims more than 20 hours of continuous usage: roughly 26 hours of video playback, 17 hours of navigation, or 14 hours of nonstop gaming. Fast 80W wired charging reduces top-up time, and the Power2 can act as a reverse power bank at up to 27W to charge other devices.

Display, performance and cameras

The Power2 sports a 6.79-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak local brightness of 1,800 nits. Biometric needs are handled by an in-screen fingerprint sensor, while a 16MP selfie camera sits up front.

Under the hood the phone debuts MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 Elite paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage (256GB or 512GB). The SoC uses an all-big-core configuration with a 3.4GHz prime core, three cores at 3.2GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.2GHz, backed by a Mali-G720 MC8 GPU — early benchmarks put it above 2.4 million points on AnTuTu.

Imaging includes a 50MP main camera with f/1.9 aperture and OIS plus a 5MP ultrawide shooter. Software comes via MagicOS 10 on top of Android 16.

Honor offers the Power2 in Midnight Black, a Sunrise Orange shade inspired by recent iPhone colors, and Snowfield White. Pricing starts at CNY 2,699 (about $385) for the 12/256GB model, while the 12/512GB trim is CNY 2,999 (about $428). Open sales in China begin on January 9; international availability is not yet confirmed.

It’s a bold move: performance-class silicon married to a battery that would have been unheard-of in a slim phone just a few years ago. Will Honor bring the Power2 outside China? If long battery life and quick charging matter to you, it’s one to watch.
