Honor reportedly testing wide-screen phone with 8,000mAh

An engineering sample of a 6.39-inch wide-screen phone appears to carry an 8,000mAh battery, according to tipster Digital Chat Station.

The tipster did not explicitly name the maker, but the emoji used in the post suggests the device could be from Honor. The leak describes an early engineering sample running on a Snapdragon chipset, though the specific model was not disclosed.

Hardware and optics

According to the same post, the prototype uses a triple-rear camera array led by a 200MP main sensor and including a periscope telephoto module. The report gives the battery capacity as at least 8,000mAh and does not list charging speed or other power details.

Over the past few weeks, separate rumors have indicated that Oppo, vivo, Xiaomi and OnePlus are developing wide-screen handsets; this latest leak suggests another major Chinese brand may be joining that group.
