| The Honor Power 2 is a mid-range phone that looks like an iPhone 17 Pro |
Get ready to say goodbye to battery anxiety for good. The race for smartphone endurance is reaching new heights, with 2026 poised to become the year of the mega-battery. Leading the charge is Honor, with leaks pointing to not one, but several devices featuring a colossal 10,000mAh power pack. The latest leak, however, has ignited more than just excitement—it's sparked a fiery debate about design originality.
The 10,000mAh Club: Honor's Upcoming Powerhouses
A large battery is the ultimate luxury in our always-connected world. According to industry rumors and reports, Honor is preparing a lineup of smartphones centered around extreme battery life. The much-anticipated Honor Win, aimed at gamers, and the mid-range Honor X80 are both tipped to sport the groundbreaking 10,000mAh capacity.
But the device generating the most buzz right now is the rumored Honor Power 2 (or Power Pro 2). This phone is positioned as a direct successor to a model that prioritized battery above all else, and new leaks are giving us our clearest look yet at what it might offer—and the controversy it carries.

A Leaked Poster and the "iPhone 17 Pro" Déjà Vu
The conversation exploded when an alleged promotional poster for the Honor Power 2 surfaced on the Chinese social platform Weibo. The poster, which cannot be independently verified, showcases the phone in three color variants.
While the massive battery spec is the headline feature, the design has become the talking point. The camera module layout and the use of a specific primary color are drawing uncanny comparisons to Apple's unreleased iPhone 17 Pro. The similarity is so striking that the leak has gone viral, with users on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) offering biting commentary.
"Honor has no honor," quipped one user, cleverly playing on the brand's name to accuse it of blatant copying. The sentiment reflects a broader discussion in the tech community about the fine line between inspiration and imitation.
Under the Hood: Geekbench Performance Leak
Beyond the design drama, the phone, identified by model number SER-AN00, has appeared on the popular benchmarking platform Geekbench. The listing provides a glimpse into the potential performance credentials of this battery behemoth.

The benchmark suggests the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chipset, a capable processor expected to be a mainstay in the 2026 mid-range segment. This indicates Honor's intent to pair unparalleled battery life with solid, modern performance, making the Power 2 a potentially formidable package for power users.
Will It Go Global? A Question of Design and Strategy
The big question for international consumers is availability. The predecessor to this model was not released globally, and its design was notably more generic. This new model's bold—and contentious—design choice could be part of a strategy to garner attention.
Whether this strategy will extend to a European or global launch remains to be seen. Honor has been aggressively expanding its international presence, and a unique selling point like a 10,000mAh battery could be a significant draw, regardless of aesthetic debates.

The Bottom Line: Power Versus Originality
The leaked Honor Power 2 presents a fascinating case study. It promises a feature many users crave above all else: legendary battery life that could last for days. Yet, it arrives wrapped in a design that many perceive as unoriginal, threatening to overshadow its technical achievement.
As 2026 approaches, all eyes will be on Honor to see if they confirm these specs, address the design criticism, and decide if this power-packed phone will be a local phenomenon or a global challenger. One thing is certain: in the battle for smartphone supremacy, Honor is betting big on battery life.
