The smartphone market has been obsessed with thinness and ultra-fast charging, but sometimes we forget the most basic thing: that the phone doesn't leave you stranded in the middle of the day. According to recent leaks, Honor is preparing to hit the table by starting trial production of a 11,000 mAh battery. This figure sounds crazy, especially if we take into account that the current industry average is barely around 5,000 mAh.
The information, shared by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Stationpoints out that this new cell will have a nominal capacity of 10,690 mAh and a typical 11,000 mAh. Although there is still no official name for the device that will house it, everything points to a new member of its range focused on durability. It is inevitable to be a little skeptical about the weight and thickness that this new component will imply, but the brand has already shown before that it knows how to work magic with space.
An evolutionary leap that defies physics
To put this in perspective, we don't have to look back far. Currently we have as a direct reference the Honor Power 2a terminal that already broke new ground by inserting a gigantic 10,080 mAh battery in a surprisingly thin chassis of just 7.98 mm. If they manage to maintain a similar design with this new leaked model, we would be talking about a tremendous milestone in thermal engineering and in the distribution of internal components.
However, not everything is rosy. More capacity means longer time plugged into the wall if the power supply speed is not improved. The brand's main challenge is this: being able to fill such a tank in a reasonable time without sacrificing the useful life of the cells. The model previous offered 80 Wand although it seems like a good figure, it could fall short for a pile of such magnitude. Honor will have to balance this equation very well.
Would you be willing to sacrifice some lightness in your pocket in exchange for not having to charge your phone for several days?
