Honor Power3 may have aimed too high with its battery capacity
Honor is preparing to launch the Power3 smartphone, which is expected to feature a battery capacity of at least 10,000 mAh. The device will likely include a 7-inch display and a MediaTek Dimensity 8-series chipset, maintaining the high-capacity battery focus of its predecessor.
Why it matters
It highlights the ongoing trend of high-capacity battery development in the competitive Chinese smartphone market.
Honor launched the Power2 in January, and then, in May, we heard that the upcoming Power3 would have a battery capacity of 11,000 to 12,000 mAh , while the exact number wasn't decided yet. Today a new rumor from the same source is back to dial down our expectations, unfortunately.
According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Honor Power3 will have a battery of at least 10,000 mAh. The Power2 has a 10,080 mAh battery, so its successor may match it or surpass it every so slightly. But it seems like the aim to get to 11,000 mAh or even 12,000 mAh may have been too optimistic.
