Up to 15,000mAh… A Wave of 7‑Inch Giant‑Screen Phones Is on the Way

As we all know, the smartphone industry works in big cycles.

There was a time when phone manufacturers chased the mantra “bigger is better”, rolling out numerous Plus‑branded models.

Later, compact small‑screen flagships that fit comfortably in one hand became the trend.

After years of twists and turns, large‑screen phones are poised to make a major comeback.

According to leaks from Chat Station, a flood of big‑screen smartphones will arrive within the next six months. These are not ordinary large‑screen devices around 6.9 inches — they are full‑fledged 7‑inch giant‑screen handsets.

Long‑term holdout users still clinging to the Mate 20X have reason to be thrilled.

Let’s break down the lineup briefly:

A 7‑inch mid‑range phone with equal‑depth quad‑flat bezels and an ultra‑large 10,000‑plus‑mAh battery

A 7‑inch performance‑oriented mid‑range phone boasting an even larger 10,000‑plus‑mAh battery

Both devices are widely speculated to come from Honor: the Honor X90 Pro Max and Honor Power 3.

Nothing is confirmed for certain, yet Honor stands out among major Chinese brands for its relentless experimentation with ultra‑large batteries, especially within its Power series. Each new Power iteration aims to reset the industry’s battery‑capacity ceiling.

The upcoming Power 3 could be even more groundbreaking. Reports indicate Honor has begun testing a colossal 15,000mAh battery, which would logically find its way into the Power 3.

To quote Lei Jun, a battery of this scale delivers a solid four‑and‑a‑half days of usage. Reviewers who test device battery life are in for a treat.

A slim sub‑flagship with a 7‑inch equal‑depth quad‑curved display We have covered this model before; it is most likely the Huawei Mate 90 Air. Like the Honor X90 Pro Max, it features the rare equal‑depth micro quad‑curve screen seen in few phones this year. While applying screen protectors will prove tricky, it delivers deeply immersive visuals.

The final two handsets are expected from Redmi:

7‑inch performance phone with 2K resolution and a 10,000‑plus‑mAh battery: REDMI Turbo 6 Pro Max

7‑inch flagship with 2K resolution and a 10,000‑plus‑mAh battery: REDMI K100 Gaming Flagship

After several years, 2K screens are making their return to Redmi phones. Users uninterested in ultra‑high‑pixel cameras can look forward to these releases.

The Turbo 6 Pro Max is Redmi’s performance‑focused mid‑range offering. Rumours state it will house a flagship‑grade Dimensity chipset paired with an 11,000mAh battery. For reference, you can picture the previous‑generation Turbo 5 Max.

The K100 Gaming Flagship is the higher‑tier, extreme‑performance gaming device teased during the K100 Pro series launch event.

Based on available leaks, this device will likely carry a hefty price tag:

2‑nanometer flagship chip

1/1.95‑inch periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom

2K 185Hz ultra‑narrow equal‑bezel panel supporting the BT.2020 colour gamut

It is positioned as a genuine flagship to compete against devices such as the iQOO 16 and OnePlus 16, both starting at 5,999 RMB. It remains to be seen whether Redmi’s executives will approve similarly high pricing.

All in all, the smartphone market is heading toward fewer small‑screen phones and an influx of large‑ and extra‑large‑screen models. Enthusiasts of big displays will have plenty of new options to choose from.
