Honor Power unveiled with 8,000mAh battery, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset

15 April 2025

Honor is introducing a new smartphone line today called “Power”. The eponymous Honor Power lives up to its name with a massive 8,000mAh battery. Not bad for a phone that’s a hair under 8mm thick.

As a flex, Honor compared the battery capacity of the Power with that of the iPad Air 11 (2025) – it’s 29.60Wh vs. 28.93Wh in favor of the phone. The phone’s battery has an impressive power density of 821Wh/L thanks to a high amount of silicon.

In terms of endurance, the battery can last 25 hours of long-form video playback, 23 hours for TikTok, over 23 hours of navigation and 14 hours of gaming.

The phone supports 66W charging and – we can’t believe we’re asking this – but is 66W enough? There is no data on how long a 100% charge takes, but only 2% of battery charge is enough for an hour of phone calls or scanning 100 WeChat codes.

For compute power, the phone brings the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, which has previously been used in the number series – Honor 100, 200 and 300. The chip is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB storage, you will find a pricing breakdown at the bottom.

The Power has a ‘micro quad-curved’ 6.78” OLED display (1,224 x 2,700px) with 120Hz refresh rate and 10-bit colors. The brightness peaks at 4,000 nits with 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

The camera setup is fairly basic. The 50MP main module has an f/1.95 lens with OIS and can record 4K video. It is joined by a 5MP ultra wide (yes, 5 megapixels). The front-facing camera, which is set inside a pill-shaped hole, has a 16MP sensor and only does 1080p video.

Connectivity includes an in-house RF enhancement chip, the Honor C1+. This is a dual-SIM phone with BeiDou satellite texting on the 12/512GB variant. It promises 20% better positional accuracy with triple-frequency BeiDou and dual-frequency GPS. Additionally, there is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 (LDAC, aptX HD) and NFC. The USB-C port only supports USB 2.0 data rates.

The phone is waterproof, but we don’t see an official IP rating.

The Honor Power goes on pre-order in China today and will be available from the 18th. The base 8/256GB model is priced at CNY 2,000, which converts to $270/€240/₹23,350. There is a 12/256GB version for CNY 2,200 and a 12/512GB model for CNY 2,500.

Note that there are promotional prices for all three variants in effect, so the base model actually starts at CNY 1,700 and the top model at just over CNY 2,100. These discounts won’t last, of course.
