A new Energizer phone promises its battery will last up to 50 days on one charge.<\/p>\n

But this isn’t a slim, sleek new handset – tech fans are describing it as an “absolute unit” and the “thick boi” of the mobile world.<\/p>\n

The snappily named Power Max P18K Pop, made by Avenir Telecom, is certainly on the chunky side.<\/p>\n

Its makers say users can watch two days of video and listen to 100 hours of music before they’ll need to recharge.<\/p>\n

It’s been a talking point of the 2019 Mobile World Congress (MWC), where Avenir revealed the phone.<\/p>\n

Because of the Energizer name, some speculated there was something under the hood that was helping the handset hold its charge.<\/p>\n

Photos from people who were attending MWC showed its full, pocket straining proportions.<\/p>\n

Makers say that apart from its size, the Power Max P18K Pop has all the features you’d expect from an Android smartphone in 2019.<\/p>\n

Some people believe this phone is an attempt to make sure handsets can keep up with users expectations of the tech in their pocket.<\/p>\n

“It’s an irritation to many that battery tech hasn’t kept pace with smartphone tech,” says Zoe Kleinman, the BBC’s technology reporter.<\/p>\n

“That the device in your pocket can perform more and more tasks and keep you connected but that all requires power – and there’s only so much you can store.<\/p>\n

“Energizer’s solution certainly provides that extra juice but it’s also going to take longer to charge and weigh more in your pocket.<\/p>\n

“Although it may look huge it’s actually only twice as thick as an early iPhone.”<\/p>\n

The makers are promising the phone has the highest battery capacity ever for a smartphone, plus five cameras.<\/p>\n

No release date has been announced – nor has the phone’s weight.<\/p>\n
