Honor is reportedly testing a new wave of oversized smartphones, and the headline numbers are hard to ignore: OLED screens up to 7 inches and batteries around 10,000 mAh. If those specs make it into shipping devices, the company would be pushing even harder into the ”phone that also feels like a small tablet” category.
According to the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, Honor is experimenting with two display options: a 6.89-inch panel with 2K resolution and a 7-inch panel with 1.5K resolution. The company has not said which versions, if any, will reach mass production, which is the polite way of saying the final product may look a lot less wild than the test bench does.
Honor’s possible giant-phone lineup
The rumored hardware fits a broader shift in flagship design. Phones have been creeping toward the 7-inch mark for a while, and a handful of top-tier models are already close enough that the difference is starting to feel academic rather than practical. That’s good news if you love huge screens and bad news if you still want one-handed use to be a thing.
- 6.89-inch OLED display with 2K resolution
- 7-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution
- Battery capacity around 10,000 mAh
The giant-phone trend is already here
Honor would not be alone if it goes this route. Recent leaks suggest Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro Max are all heading toward roughly 6.9-inch displays, while Samsung has already used 6.9-inch panels in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra. In other words, the industry is quietly normalizing the kind of screen size that used to be reserved for devices people joked about at trade shows.
The battery side is even more aggressive. A 10,000 mAh pack would be aimed at users who care more about endurance than pocketability, and it could help these monster phones survive several days away from a charger if the software and chip tuning cooperate. That is the sort of promise that gets attention fast, especially as bigger displays and brighter panels keep making average battery life harder to protect.
How reliable is the leak
Digital Chat Station has a strong track record, and the same source was first to accurately reveal details about the Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro, Realme GT 7 Pro, and Dimensity 9400. That does not mean Honor’s exact plans are locked in, but it does mean this is more than the usual wish-list rumor mill.
If Honor does ship one of these configurations, the real question is whether buyers want a phone that sizes up like a mini tablet without turning into a brick. The market is clearly willing to tolerate bigger devices; whether it is ready for 7 inches and a battery this large is the part that could get interesting very quickly.
