Honor launched a smartphone into the stratosphere

The Chinese company Honor spoke about testing a new battery for the Magic6 Pro smartphone. This is stated in the company’s press release received by the editors of Lenta.ru.

Honor specialists said that when developing the device they used battery production technology with a silicon-carbon anode instead of traditional graphite. Thanks to this, the device works longer at sub-zero temperatures. To test the second generation of silicon-carbon batteries, the Magic6 Pro was launched into the stratosphere.

The company said that the silicon anode provides a power density 10 times greater than graphite, but it also increases in volume by up to 300 percent, which is unsafe. Therefore, Honor engineers used a silicon-carbon anode to compensate for the shortcomings of the materials. Also, thanks to the new Power Enhanced Chip Honor E1, the device’s battery can be charged with a power of up to 80 watts.

The ability of Magic6 Pro to work at sub-zero temperatures was appreciated by the famous YouTube blogger under the nickname PhoneBuff. The author placed the device in a chamber with a temperature of -20 degrees and started playing video – the device worked for 13 hours and 7 minutes.

Honor Magic6 Pro was introduced in mid-January. The device received a 6.8-inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 12 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of internal memory, a triple camera with 180, 50 and 50 megapixel lenses, and a battery with a capacity of 5600 milliamp-hours.

At the end of January, the price of Honor Magic V2, which is called the thinnest folding smartphone on the market, became known. The device will be available for 180 thousand rubles.
