Honor to make 7,000 mAh batteries standard on future flagships, 8,000 mAh for mid-rangers

Honor’s latest device in China – the Honor X70 features a huge 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery and the brand has been releasing devices with 7,000+ mAh capacities for a while now. According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), Honor will continue to prioritize large battery capacities for its midrange and flagship phones this year.

As per the new DCS post, Honor’s 2025 flagships will offer at least 7,000mAh cells while its midrangers are set to pack cells in the 8,000mAh range and above. That’s a notable increase for Honor’s midrangers as last year’s Honor X60 shipped with a 5,880mAh cell while the X60 Pro featured a 6,600mAh capacity.

Honor’s flagship Magic7 series ranged between 5,650 and 5,850mAh cells, so 7,000+mAh on the upcoming Magic8 series would be a solid improvement. DCS also suggests that future Honor flagships will offer a maximum of 100W wired charging speeds. It remains to be seen if Honor phones outside of China will also receive the added battery capacity boost.
