| The Honor Power 2 will be announced on January 5, 2026 |
In a move that’s sure to spark conversations, Honor is gearing up to launch the successor to its popular Power line. Set for an official unveiling on January 5, 2026, the Honor Power 2 has broken cover through official renders, and it marks a dramatic visual departure from its predecessor, drawing immediate and striking comparisons to Apple’s latest.
Gone is the unique camera module of the original Honor Power. In its place, the Honor Power 2 sports a large, rectangular camera island that stretches across the width of the phone’s back, housing three rear sensors. This, combined with a new flat metallic frame—a shift from the previous curved design—and a circular front camera cutout instead of a pill-shaped one, earns it the clear “iPhone 17 Pro clone” badge from early observers. The bold new look will be available in three colors: vibrant Sunburst Orange, clean Snowfield White, and deep Phantom Night Black.
The design shift has already generated significant buzz on Chinese social media, with early renders sparking lively discussions. For a look at the community reaction and more visual angles, check out this thread on Weibo that highlights the side-by-side comparisons taking the internet by storm.

Under the Hood: Specs Leak Points to a Performance Beast
While the design is turning heads, the leaked specifications suggest Honor is focusing heavily on core performance and endurance. According to a pre-order listing that has already gone live on JD.com, the Honor Power 2 is shaping up to be a powerhouse.
The phone is listed to feature a massive 6.79-inch LTPS display with a 2640 x 1080 resolution, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite processor and paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options will include 256GB and 512GB variants. The "Power" name isn't just for show, as the device is expected to pack a colossal 10,080mAh battery, supporting 80W wired fast charging. Furthermore, it will offer 27W reverse wired charging, effectively allowing it to function as a high-speed power bank for your other devices.
The pre-order activity confirms the high consumer anticipation for this model. Potential buyers are eagerly analyzing every detail, as seen in this Weibo preview post that aggregates the confirmed specs and launch excitement.
