According to the "exclusive information" he received, the handset will feature the alleged upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SoC, pack a 10,000mAh battery capacity, and has already entered the "NPI" or new product information/introduction stage.

To recall, the same tipster previously shared that a phone with an unknown brand could release a device with a 10,000mAh battery that could be less than 8.5mm thick.

realme also has a smartphone with 10,000mAh capacity, but it is a concept device that won't be released in the market anytime soon.

If true, this is the highest battery capacity on a slim phone that will be mass-produced for the general public.

HONOR's previous largest battery on a smartphone is the 8,300mAh of the HONOR X70.

It is likely to use an upgraded version of the silicon-carbon technology.

There is no word on what the phone will be called yet. But we won't be surprised if it is the follow-up (HONOR Power 2?) to the HONOR Power earlier this year.

The leaker previously said that the phone is expected to be launched in early 2026.
