Honor reportedly has its first wide-screen smartphone in the works. This is an interesting development, as it goes beyond Huawei's latest foray into this market segment. This is an important shift to observe because it indicates the wider industry interest in more immersive and larger handheld screen sizes. It's a trend people need to pay attention to if they are looking for an extended media consumption experience or better multi-tasking on the go.
Leaked specs show 6.39-inch display and 200MP camera system
It's said that the upcoming phone has a 6.39-inch screen size. This is a compact but roomy screen real estate. From early engineering sample reports, it seems like the phone is sporting a Snapdragon chipset (we don't know what model). These details make it clear that Honor has a general market-focused approach rather than a niche one.
- Battery Capacity: 8,000mAh or higher
- Display Size: 6.39-inch
- Camera System: 200MP triple rear camera system with a large sensor and a periscope lens
- Processor: Snapdragon (specific chip unknown)
And here is where things get truly interesting. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor phone will come with a battery of 8,000mAh or bigger! That is a lot more than the 7,000mAh battery onboard the Huawei Pura X View.
According to reports, the phone will have a 200MP triple camera setup at the back. There is a huge sensor and a periscope lens.
According to Digital Chat Station, the next 6.39-inch phone will come with a battery of 8,000mAh or bigger. We have no information from the tipster about how big or heavy the device will be. We don't know how thick the phone will be. That lack of info makes it hard to judge how much the massive battery impacts the device's portability.
As we had previously pointed out, we are seeing Oppo and Honor lead the charge for wide-screen candybar phones. This is after the market success of Huawei's Pura X View. And now, it seems like the new Honor phone is a reaction to this market trend. At least the leak gives us some solid hardware info about what to expect from Honor in this particular form factor.

8000mAh in a 6.39 inch body sounds like a brick. DCS leaks are often wrong about dimensions.
If the phone weighs over 250 grams I am not touching it. The Huawei Pura X View already felt heavy.
