Honor Power 2 launches as affordable IP69K-certified smartphone and proudly resembles Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro

Mid-range specs but a giant 10,080 mAh battery

Honor can’t compete with Apple in terms of specs, with the exception of the battery. The 10,080 mAh battery module in the ultra-thin 8 mm smartphone, combined with MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8500 Elite midrange chipset, is said to deliver 8.3 hours of continuous live streaming, 32.5 hours of binge-watching or 17.3 hours of navigation. It’s also said to function reliably in extremely cold temperatures. Thanks to 27-watt reverse charging, the smartphone can also be used as a power bank, and the massive battery can be charged at a maximum of 80 watts.

For a mid-range phone, the Honor Power 2 is surprisingly well protected. In addition to IP68 and IP69, it also boasts an IP69K rating, which is supposed to offer protection against high water pressure. Hence, Honor also advertises the Power 2 smartphone as an outdoor phone, although it has little in common with classic rugged smartphones and their usually bulky look. The virtually bezel-less display features a 6.79-inch 120 Hz AMOLED panel with an HDR peak brightness of 8,000 nits and a resolution of 2,640 x 1,200.
