The Honor Power 2 was launched earlier this year with a massive 10,080mAh battery and support for 80W wired charging. Now, a new leak from China suggests that Honor is working on a new handset with even more battery capacity. The smartphone maker is said to have started the trial production of this model. Honor has already released several phones with large batteries in recent months. It launched the Honor Win and Win RT models in December last year with a 10,000mAh battery.
Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) on Weibo claimed that Honor has started trial production of a new battery with a rated capacity of 10,690mAh and a typical capacity of 11,000mAh. This would make it one of the highest-capacity batteries ever used in a mainstream smartphone.
