Honor's first wide-screen phone tipped to pack 8,000mAh+

Tipster Digital Chat Station says Honor's first wide-screen phone will pack an 8,000mAh battery or larger.

DCS says the upcoming device will have a 6.39-inch display and that the battery would be the largest in its category.

The leak follows DCS's earlier report that Oppo and Honor would lead Android brands into the wide-screen candybar market after Huawei introduced the Pura X View.

The Huawei Pura X View has a 6.39-inch OLED display with a 16:9.5 aspect ratio and a 7,000mAh battery. Honor's phone is tipped to match the screen size while offering at least 1,000mAh more capacity.

Fitting a larger battery into a phone this size could affect dimensions and weight. DCS has not shared thickness or weight figures; the Pura X View measures 6.68mm thick.

DCS also mentions a 200MP triple rear camera system with a large sensor and a periscope lens. The tipster did not clarify whether the 200MP sensor would be the main camera or a telephoto unit.

Early engineering samples reportedly run on a Snapdragon processor, though DCS did not identify which chip Honor is testing.

DCS previously claimed the Honor 700 series would include a 9,000mAh battery and a 200MP main camera.

Honor has not commented on launch plans. The battery, camera, and processor details are based on early engineering samples and may change before the device reaches the market.
