Every year , the stamp battery sprightliness of phones gets just a minuscule bit longer , but somehow there ’s always a handful of hoi polloi who still want more . So as is if to end assault and battery living anxiousness once and for all , this simply monolithic Energizer phone popped up at MWC to really prove that a phone really can have too much juice .
Now to be clear , while the Energizer P18 K Pop shares the same brand name as the well - get laid battery maker , the telephone is in reality made byAvenir Telecom , a Gallic gimmick maker who licenses out the Energizer name for manipulation on its phones .
On top of that , this is n’t the first time Avenir has put a doltishly large bombardment in a phone to get some tending , though thanks to its absurd attribute , the P18 K is the companionship ’s most extra model yet . As its name implies , the P18 K ’s newspaper headline feature is an 18,000 mAh battery that Avenir title offer up to 90 hours of call meter , 100 hours of music playback , and two day of video playback — all on a exclusive charge . And in standby , Avenir prognosticate a full 50 Day of succus .

But all that energy comes with some honestly idiotic mass . The Pop 18 K is list at around 28 mm thick , but when you pick it up , it feels so much bigger . stack up , it ’s taller than three normal phones ( depend on the model ) , or two sticks of lip balm , and while its curved sides attempt to make the phone sense just a bit less like a brick , its pretty keen edges and copious heft make it incredibly awkward to obligate .
In fact , the P18 K ’s stamp battery is so giving , it straddles the limitation on what certain countries and airlines will allow you to take on a plane . And even with Avenir claiming the P18 K features some sort of tight charge technical school , even at the industry ’s best hurrying , you ’d be lucky if you could go from zero to 100 per centum in less than three 60 minutes .
And in caseful a massive battery was n’t enough , the P18 K also get with a mechanize dad - up selfie cam , though sadly I did n’t get to sample that myself , as some twat who tried the sound before me break it , so I was forced to look into out a dummy manikin .

As for the rest of the phone ’s glasses , the P18 K fall with Android 9 Pie , an octa - core Mediatek MT P70 processor , 6 GB of RAM , 128 GB of memory , a microSD one-armed bandit and three-fold rear camera . Naturally , the P18 K also comes with reverse charging , so you’re able to apply the phone ’s redundant juice to top off other devices .
So if you really , truly , urgently need a headphone that will last for more than a week between charges , or something silly to take on our next bivouacking trip , congrats , your steed has arrived . Or you could just get an external battery gang like a normal soul . Just do n’t @ me about its battery not being obliterable . What are try out to do , get going an apocalypse ?
The P18 K is slated to go on sale later this summer for 600 euro ( around $ 675 ) , though since there are no design to bring it to the States , you may have to go on a pilgrim’s journey to France to grease one’s palms one .
