Honor Power3 may have aimed too high with its battery capacity

Honor launched the Power2 in January, and then, in May, we heard that the upcoming Power3 would have a battery capacity of 11,000 to 12,000 mAh, while the exact number wasn't decided yet. Today a new rumor from the same source is back to dial down our expectations, unfortunately.

According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Honor Power3 will have a battery of at least 10,000 mAh. The Power2 has a 10,080 mAh battery, so its successor may match it or surpass it every so slightly. But it seems like the aim to get to 11,000 mAh or even 12,000 mAh may have been too optimistic.

The device's screen has apparently grown to 7" diagonally, up from its predecessor's 6.79-inch panel. It will unsurprisingly be a flat display, and the Power3 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8-series chipset, just like the Power2, which employs the Dimensity 8500 Elite. Whether the Power3 will go with the same SoC or with a theoretical upcoming Dimensity 8600 remains to be seen.

If Honor plans to release the Power3 around one year after the Power2, then there's still plenty of time for more details about the device to come out, so stay tuned.
