It wasn’t that long ago that phones with a battery capacity of than 5,000 mAh were automatically classified as bulky phones or intended for rugged use. But recent years have seen a major shift thanks to silicon-carbon (Si/C) technology, which has allowed companies to increase the energy density inside batteries without having to make the phone too bulky. Today, we are close to crossing the 10,000 mAh barrier inside smartphones that are less than 8 mm thick.

In this context, Honor officially announced in China its new Honor Power2 phone, which comes with a huge silicon-carbon battery with a capacity of 10,080 mAh. The company confirms that the phone is capable of providing than 20 hours of continuous use, with expectations of video playback for than 26 hours, or 17 hours of continuous navigation, or up to 14 hours of non-stop gaming.
