Honor X80 Leak: 10,000mAh Battery, New Snapdragon 6 Chip, 1.5K OLED Display

Honor is clearly in a mood to shake the smartphone market, and honestly, I like this bold energy. Fresh leaks around the Honor X80 suggest the brand is going all-in on battery life again, this time targeting everyday users who just want a phone that does not die before dinner. In a world tired of carrying power banks, this phone feels personal.

After the solid response to Honor’s Win and Win RT phones in China, the company now wants to bring the same “no battery tension” idea to the affordable segment. And yes, the Honor X80 looks ready to do exactly that.

Honor X80 battery strategy 

The biggest talking point is simple and massive, the Honor X80 is tipped to pack a 10,000mAh battery. This is not normal for a slim mid-range phone, and that’s why it matters.

According to reliable tipsters, this battery has already cleared China’s 3C certification, which makes the leak feel very real. Honor is not just experimenting here. Reports say the brand plans to standardize 10,000mAh-class batteries across the X, Power and WIN series.

This is smart thinking. Users don’t complain about cameras first. They complain when the phone dies. Honor is listening.

What we still don’t know is charging speed. The Honor X70 supported 80W fast charging, so expectations are high. Anything slow here would honestly feel like a miss.

Honor X80 display

The Honor X80 is expected to feature a 6.81-inch OLED LTPS display with a flat design and rounded corners. Flat screens are back in fashion, and I’m not complaining. Curved screens look fancy but break easily.

Key display details tipped so far:

• 1.5K resolution

• Likely 120Hz refresh rate

• OLED LTPS panel

• Flat screen with right-angle frame

Compared to the Honor X70’s 6.79-inch screen, this is a small size jump, but with a huge battery inside, the bigger body makes sense.

For content lovers, movie watchers and gamers, this screen size plus battery combo is honestly dangerous, in a good way.

Honor X80 performance

Now here’s where things get interesting. The Honor X80 is reportedly being tested with a new Snapdragon 6-series chipset, possibly the SM6850 platform. This chip may launch as the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5.

Earlier leaks talked about a Snapdragon 7-series chip, but the latest info contradicts that. Personally, I believe the 6-series choice more. Why?

Because pairing a power-efficient chip with a massive battery makes more real-world sense than chasing benchmark scores.

This phone is clearly not for performance bragging. It’s for people who want:

• Long screen-on time

• Stable daily performance

• Less heating

• Better battery health

And honestly, that’s most users.

Honor X80 price 

One leak suggests the Honor X80 may launch around CNY 1,000, roughly ₹13,000 in India if converted directly. If this price holds, competitors should be worried.

At this price, a phone with 10,000mAh battery, OLED 1.5K display and n Snapdragon chipset, sounds almost unfair. Brands like Redmi, Realme and even Samsung will feel the pressure.

Honor X80 launch timeline and bigger picture

There’s no official launch date yet, but signs point to a China release soon. Honor also plans big upgrades for its Magic series later this year, possibly with even larger displays and batteries crossing 9,000mAh.

From my perspective, Honor is clearly betting on one thing in 2026, battery trust. And they might win.

If the Honor X80 delivers even 80% of what’s leaked, this phone could redefine what people expect from a budget smartphone. Battery anxiety might finally become old news.
