I’ve seen smartphones with some fairly large batteries, the most important in all probability being the Doogee S100 Pro with its colossal 22,000mAh battery. However a brand new smartphone unveiled at MWC 2024 has that one beat.
This week, Avenir demoed a brand new smartphone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona referred to as the Energizer Arduous Case P28K. It is principally a cellphone that is constructed round an influence financial institution.
Additionally: I tried the Samsung Galaxy Ring and it beats the Oura in 2 meaningful ways
Confused in regards to the identify? That is comprehensible. Avenir has licensed the Energizer identify from the battery producer.
The spec sheet for the Energizer Arduous Case P28K is quite bland:
- 6.78-inch, 1080p LCD show
- Android 14
- MediaTek Helio G99 MT6789 octa-core processor
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB storage,
- 60-, 20- and 2-megapixel rear digital camera
- 16-megapixel front-facing digital camera
- 4G assist (no 5G)
- IP69 ranking
However you then get to the battery, and issues get bizarre!
Additionally: This is the most rugged Android phone I’ve tested, and it can last 2,350 hours
The battery is a mammoth 28,000 mAh battery, giving the handset a chat time of virtually 5 days, and a standby time of near 100 days.

That is nuts!
However with nice battery capability comes nice dimension. This factor is 1.1 inches thick, or to place that one other approach, 3 times the thickness of an iPhone 15, and it weighs 1.25 kilos. Except you have received large, deep, pockets (and belt) this factor is not getting in your pocket.
Additionally: The most jaw-dropping demo at MWC was from a brand I wasn’t expecting to see
I did some digging around on this, and plainly it is deliberate to go on sale in October and can price about $270. Nonetheless, and considerably oddly, Avenir would not have plans to launch this behemoth within the US.
So if you wish to get your fingers on a smartphone with an enormous battery as we speak, then the Doogee S100 Pro is the handset for you (and it is at the moment on sale for practically 30% off on Amazon Prime). It is the identical thickness, however lighter (0.88 kilos) so it is just a little simpler in your pockets. It additionally gives as much as virtually 98 days of standby time.
