Honor is reportedly working on its very first wide-screen smartphone, following Huawei's recent entry into this emerging mobile form factor. Moving away from the conventional tall-and-narrow display aspect ratios common in today's mobile market, this upcoming device aims to offer a broader screen experience. Early leaks from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) have shed light on the device's key hardware, particularly its display, battery size, and camera capabilities.
Wide-Screen Display Design
According to details shared by DCS, Honor's upcoming wide-screen phone will sport a 6.39-inch display. This puts it in direct comparison with the Huawei Pura X View, which also features a 6.39-inch OLED display with a 16:9.5 aspect ratio. A wider panel provides a more expanded viewing canvas, making video playback, web browsing, and multitasking far more comfortable. However, the exact aspect ratio, panel tech, and resolution of Honor's version have not been revealed yet.
200MP Camera and Snapdragon Power
The device is also expected to offer a capable photography setup. Honor is currently testing a triple rear camera module that includes a 200MP primary sensor and a periscope telephoto lens. It remains unconfirmed whether the 200MP sensor serves as the main wide shooter or the telephoto camera. Specs regarding the third camera sensor and the front selfie camera are also currently unavailable.
Under the hood, the wide-screen handset is being tested with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. The specific processor model has not been named, so exact performance figures remain unknown for now.
Massive 8,000mAh+ Battery Capacity
The battery department is where the phone stands out most. Leaks suggest Honor is fitting the device with a battery capacity exceeding 8,000mAh, which is notably high for a phone with a 6.39-inch footprint. For context, the Huawei Pura X View comes with a 7,000mAh battery, giving Honor a potential edge in battery endurance if these specifications reach production.
Launch Status and Availability
As the device is reportedly still in the engineering sample stage, final specifications could be adjusted before official production. Honor has not officially confirmed the smartphone's release, and there are currently no details regarding launch dates or pricing for global markets, including Nepal.
