We’ve already seen the first majorflagship Android phoneslaunched this year, in the form of theSamsung Galaxy 24family, but things will soon get a whole lot crazier. Mobile World Congress is on the immediate horizon, so we can expect a whole swathe of new handsets to emerge.
One of those that’ll make its full debut atMWC 2024is the Honor Magic 6 series and, specifically, the Honor Magic 6 Pro. We’ve seen a few leaks in recent times, including theprospect of a Porsche tie-in, but now the manufacturer has confirmed that it’s coming in time for the show.
In addition, it has detailed one of the phone’s biggest new features – a “groundbreaking”, innovative battery that you’d normally see in a Tesla rather than a mobile device.
It will sport a 5,600mAh second-generation silicon-carbon battery, which doesn’t just offer stable fast charging and extended battery life, but is capable of operating in extreme conditions, including temperatures down to -20-degrees celsius.
The new technology allows the Magic 6 Pro to support 80W fast charging, too, and a dedicated chipset ensures that both efficiency and power distribution is adhered to in all circumstances.
Of course, the flagship handset won’t be the first model to feature a silicon-carbon battery – theHonor Magic V2foldable phone was recently released with a cell featuring similar tech. It’s good to see it also coming to other premium handsets though.
