We have seen weird folding smartphones at MWC and pretty tame ones too, but this one takes the cake for being the weirdest of them all.



Energizer is known for their batteries and they teased that they will launch a number of phones at MWC and sure they delivered.

The Energizer Power Max P18K Pop (what a name) is the star of the show and it is because of one thing only: Its giant battery.



The P18K Pop has an 18,000mAh battery which is absolutely ridiculous considering the fact that we such capacities on dedicated power banks. Thanks to this huge battery, the phone defines how thick a phone can be, and it looks almost comical.

To put into context, that 18,000 mAh battery is 10 times bigger than the one on the iPhone 8 or 6 times bigger than the ones you see on regular smartphones and 4.5 bigger than the 4000 mAh units we see on smartphones. You can even use it to charge other phones, which can come in handy.



According to Trusted Reviews, the company says you will be able to watch videos for around 2 days on a single charge or make 90 hours of calls or listen to 100 hours of music or in standby mode, it can last for 50 days.

The Enegrizer P18K Pop has some pretty decent specs too. It has a 6.2 inch 1080 x 2280 IPS display, 128GB of internal storage, 6GB of RAM, triple primary camera (12MP, 5MP, 2MP), pop up dual selfie cameras (16MP, 2MP) and runs on Android Pie. It is powered by the Mediatek Helio P70 which is an octacore processor.



Energizer has not revealed its price which is quite weird. There will be a market for this, which will include a person that would want a relatively good midrange phone with a massive battery and will not mind how bulky it is.

But big phone manufacturers remain afread of producing phones with big batteries.

Is it because of cost or what?
