MWC 2018 is already underway and while much of the focus seems to be on the Samsung Galaxy S9, the Energizer Power Max P16K Pro may have stolen the show with its immense battery life. With over five times the battery capacity seen in the Galaxy S9 or iPhone X, the Energizer Power Max P16K Pro can apparently last up to five days on a single charge. The 16,000 mAh battery is by far the focal point of this phone though it should be understood that the phone does carry a bit of heft with such a massive battery.
Despite its thick profile, the Energizer Power Max P16K Pro does manage to pack in some impressive specs. The 5.99-inch 18:9 aspect ratio display sports full HD resolution and offers a front 16-megapixel + 13-megapixel. The back of the phone supports a 13-megapixel + 5-megapixel and even manages to squeeze in a fingerprint sensor. The phone is currently powered by a MediaTek Helio P23 and comes with 6GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and has a microSD card slot for expansion.
