Battery and Charging
The highlight of the Honor Power 2 is its gigantic battery. Thanks to advanced silicon-carbon anode technology, it houses a huge 10,080 mAh cell that weighs just 216 grams and measures only 7.98 mm thick. According to Honor, this battery can provide over 20 hours of continuous use, up to 26 hours of video playback, or nearly 14 hours of gaming on a single charge. The phone supports superfast 80W charging via cable and can also charge other devices at speeds up to 27 watts.
Performance and Display
The Power 2 is powered by the latest MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite chip, which scores over 2.4 million points in AnTuTu benchmark tests. It comes with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS-4.1 storage. The display is a large 6.79-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1.5K, offering an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz and reaching local peak brightness levels of 8,000 nits.
Camera Setup
The camera setup on the Honor Power 2 is decent for a mid-range device. It includes a main 50-megapixel sensor with optical image stabilization, an ultrawide-angle lens at five megapixels, and a front-facing 16-megapixel selfie cam. The design of the phone also hints at similarities to recent iPhone models, particularly in the orange version.
Build Quality
The build quality is impressive with its IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning resistance. The phone will be available in three colors: Phantom Black, Snowfield White, and Rising Sun Orange.
The Honor Power 2 launches in China on January 9th at around $385 USD for the version with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. It’s not clear yet if there will be an international release, but Honor seems to have created a compelling device that shows how large batteries can coexist with slim designs.
