Honor appears to be working on a smartphone with a 14,000mAh battery, according to a leak from tipster Digital Chat Station. This would surpass the company's current X80 Pro Max, which launched in China with an 11,000mAh battery - already the largest ever in an Honor device. The rumored handset is reportedly in the NPI stage, suggesting early validation testing.

Digital Chat Station didn't explicitly name Honor in the leak, but used an emoji commonly associated with the brand. The device appears to be in early development phases, though no additional specifications or timeline details emerged from the report. Previous rumors had suggested Honor was working on a Power3 device with battery capacity between 11,000mAh and 12,000mAh.

This potential upgrade fits Honor's recent focus on maximizing battery life across its smartphone lineup. The company already offers multiple devices with 10,000mAh or larger batteries, including the X80 Pro Max. While the exact identity of this new device remains unclear, the substantial jump to 14,000mAh would represent a significant leap in mobile power density if it reaches production.

Such a large battery capacity would likely appeal to heavy users and those wanting multi-day charge cycles, though it may come with trade-offs in device thickness and weight that consumers will need to consider.
