Emerging Battery
Innovations from Automobile Industry to Smartphones
HONOR has unveiled its innovative approach to pushing the
boundaries of material and structural technology, particularly evident in the
Magic Series.
Breaking new ground, HONOR became the first brand to
integrate emerging battery innovations from the automotive industry into
smartphones, introducing the all-new Second-generation Silicon-carbon Battery
to the HONOR Magic6 Series. With a theoretical capacity of 3579mAh/g for a pure
