Honor X80 Leaks: 10,000mAh Battery, Snapdragon Power and Aggressive Pricing Revealed

The smartphone market is officially obsessed with batteries, and honestly, I’m not complaining. The Honor X80 has just leaked online, and if even half of what’s being reported is true, this phone could reset expectations in the budget-to-midrange segment.

Leaks indicate that Honor is in the pipeline of launching a phone with an incredible 10,000mAh battery, yes, five digits. This is a bold and practical and very consumer-first move in the market where most brands continue to consider 5,000mAh as big.

Honor X80 launch leak

As a reliable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor X80 will soon be introduced in China, and the release announcement will be made in early 2026. Pricing is tipped at approximately CNY 1,000 which would approximately convert to ₹13,000. For India, the leak indicates that an estimated price of ₹22,990 will be charged on the base variant.

If that pricing holds, Honor is clearly aiming to undercut rivals while offering specs that look borderline unreal on paper.

Honor X80 battery leak

Let’s not dance around it, the Honor X80 battery is the star of this leak.

Reported details include the following:

• Massive 10,000mAh battery (rated capacity reportedly around 9,755mAh)
• 80W fast charging support
• Non-removable battery design

I think it is exactly what everyday users want. Not flashy gimmicks, not overprocessed cameras, just the phone that lasts two full days without anxiety. If Honor delivers decent charging optimization, it may become a king among batteries of its cost category.

Honor X80 display leak

It is suggested that the Honor X80 will have a huge 6.8-inch LTPS display with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. That is a significant improvement over its predecessor and makes it compete directly with significantly more expensive phones.

Expected display highlights are listed below:

• 6.8-inch LTPS panel
• 120Hz refresh rate
• FHD+ to 1.5K resolution
• Punch-hole design

The combination of this screen size and refresh rate is a clear victory for binge-watchers and gamers.

Honor X80 performance leak

The Honor X80 is likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series chipset, though several sources indicate it will have a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. This chip is based on a 4nm process and therefore should strike a good balance between performance and efficiency.

Other performance-related leaks are as follows:

• Android 16 with MagicOS on top
• Up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage
• No microSD card slot
• Adreno GPU for gaming

This is not a gaming monster, but for daily use, multitasking, and casual gaming, it should feel smooth and reliable.

Honor X80 camera leak

Camera features indicate that Honor is making it reasonable with the Honor X80.

Expected camera setup:

• 50MP primary rear camera
• 8MP secondary rear sensor
• 8MP front-facing camera
• 4K video recording support

No oversized camera promises here, and that’s fine. At this price, consistency matters more than megapixel bragging rights.

Honor X80 vs Honor X70

The Honor X80 is expected to succeed the Honor X70, which already offered an 8,300mAh battery. Jumping to 10,000mAh isn’t a small upgrade, it’s a statement. Add a newer Snapdragon chip and Android 16, and the generational leap is obvious.

Honor X80 final thoughts: A battery-first phone done right

If these leaks prove to be true then the Honor X80 may emerge as one of the most discussed phones in 2026. With all the lookalike devices on the market, Honor’s focus on battery life feels refreshingly realistic.

Personally, I would prefer a longer battery life over gimmicky AI features any day. And if Honor nails pricing and availability in India, this phone could quietly dominate the value segment.

Now we wait for official confirmation, but the message is already clear: battery anxiety might finally be a thing of the past.
