Here's the chipset at the helm of the Honor Power 2, which has a 10,000 mAh battery

The Honor Power made some waves in the industry when it was introduced back in April, thanks to its 8,000 mAh battery. That's still huge even today for a mainstream smartphone, but competitors are working on devices with similar (or slightly larger) sizes - case in point: Redmi.

Honor, however, isn't giving up the mAh fight. Instead, it's already developing the Honor Power 2, and this one will have a mind-blowing 10,000 mAh battery. It was first leaked last month, and today a new rumor out of China brings us another piece of the puzzle: the chipset it will use.

It will allegedly be the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SoC, so the Power 2 will still decidedly be a mid-range device. Unfortunately, no other specs of the Power 2 have been outed just yet, but that's a solid upper-midrange chip to pair with a humongous battery, so color us excited to hear more in the future - and undoubtedly many other leaks about this phone are coming in the next few days and weeks.

For reference, note that the original Honor Power comes with a 6.78-inch 1224x2700 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and 4,000-nit peak brightness, a 50 MP main camera, a 5 MP ultrawide, and a 16 MP selfie snapper. Its battery charges at 66W through wires, and it will be interesting to see whether the Power 2 will change that.
