Honor GT 2: A smartphone with a monstrous 9,000 mAh battery in preparation
Honor is reportedly developing a true endurance monster. According to a leak from China, the manufacturer is working on a new smartphone in the GT range, potentially the Honor GT 2, which could set a record for battery life with a 9,000 mAh battery — a first for a mainstream device.
A future flagship focused on performance
The information comes from the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, who is often well-informed about upcoming launches. In a post on Weibo, he describes the phone as a “Snapdragon 8 flagship” featuring an “abnormally large” battery.
While he does not specify the model name, everything points to it being the upcoming Honor GT 2, the direct successor to the GT that launched with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
This new device is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which is anticipated by the end of the year, solidifying its position among ultra-powerful smartphones.
A record-breaking battery and fast charging remain
The increase from a 7,200 mAh battery in the Honor GT to nearly 9,000 mAh in the Honor GT 2 would mark a significant evolution in silicon-carbon technology, allowing for increased energy density without thickening the phone.
Despite this colossal capacity, the 100 W fast charging would still be included, promising extreme battery life without sacrificing recharge speed.
The rest of the technical specifications impress as well
Initial rumors suggest a set of features that match this extraordinary battery:
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, Qualcomm’s latest premium chip;
- up to 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage;
- 1.5K OLED display with a high refresh rate;
- ultrasonic fingerprint reader integrated under the display.
A blend of raw power and endurance clearly aimed at demanding users — gamers, content creators, or heavy multimedia consumers.
A launch expected by the end of 2025
The Honor GT 2 is expected to be officially unveiled between November and December 2025 in China, according to several sources familiar with the matter. No information has yet surfaced regarding a potential international launch, but Honor could leverage this model to make a global impact. By 2025, 7,000 mAh batteries have already become common among brands like Vivo, OnePlus, or Xiaomi.
However, if Honor manages to achieve 9,000 mAh, the manufacturer would set a new benchmark and redefine the concept of a “one-day battery” — or rather, a multi-day battery.
A capacity of this magnitude, combined with a high-end processor and optimized power management, could make the Honor GT 2 the most enduring smartphone ever released.
