New phone rumoured to have battery life of a week

At almost 2cm thick, the new smartphone from Energizer is going to be difficult to fit into your pocket, but if it lives up to its claims, it may just be worth the squeeze.

According to France’s Avenir Telecom — the company that licenses the Energizer brand — the reason for this thickness is a battery to end all debates on running time. The company explains that under normal use, the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop should last a week or alternately 48 hours of continuous video playback.

Everything else about the phone seems pretty standard as the Power Max P18K Pop delivers a MediaTek processor, front-ended by Android 9 with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, two selfie cams, and a 6.2in LCD display.
