The new Power Max P16K Pro is an Energizer smartphone with the biggest battery that’s been heard of till now. The best part? Energizer has plans on bringing their range of smartphones to India.
Energizer normally launches phones across four segments - Hardcase (resistance phones), Powermax (long lasting batteries), Energy Plus (smartphone with protection accessories), and Energy (basic phones).
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 the company will showcase their 22 phones, including 12 new ones, and announce their plans for India. These phones are produced under Avenir Telecom, but the batteries' game is all Energizer. So essentially what this means is that Avenir makes the phones, Energizer puts in the battery and their own branding to make sure the phone has an identity.
Not only will this phone have a magnanimous battery, it’s also going to be equipped with the trending 5.99-inch FHD display along with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Being a flagship phone, it will also offer 6GB RAM and 128GB inbuilt storage, the full works.
Despite the hefty specifications, Energizer maintains that this particular smartphone will “boast an ultra slim design”. This may or may not hold true taking the size of the battery into account.
A break from the mundane
Have a fancy screen, slap it on some aluminium, plug in a powerful processor and make sure the camera works. That’s awesome, but it’s not new.
It’s amazing to have something that’s finally worth being excited about. It breaks away from the usual innovative route that the generic smartphone companies seem to take. You can innovate and come up with a bunch of new features, but that won’t fix what’s actually wrong with the phones. Battery life is a complaint as old as the invention of smartphones.
Sure, the phone may not be optimal in the usual respects, but it should be commended for thinking out-of-the-box and addressing a realistic consumer concern.
Keeping that in mind, Caterpillar’s new S61 deserves an honorable mention. This phone comes with thermal imaging capabilities, a laser measurement system, military grade durability and built in air quality sensor, something Indian consumers could seriously use. Last year, the CAT S60 was launched in India at the price of Rs 64,999.
Yes, it probably won’t compete in the same segment as the iPhone X or the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S9, but it addresses a particular need. It’s so specialised and it makes you wonder why other phones don’t support those same features, or at least some of them, at that price point.
These wonderful and weird phones, though hardly mainstream, unblock the mind to think of expectations that go beyond just the basics of a phone... Or is it the other way around?
