The Brick Is Back


A new Energizer phone promises its battery will last up to 50 days on one charge. The snappily named Power Max P18K Pop, made by Avenir Telecom, is certainly on the chunky side. Its makers say users can watch two days of video and listen to 100 hours of music before they'll need to recharge. It's been a talking point of the 2019 Mobile World Congress (MWC), where Avenir revealed the phone. Because of the Energizer name, some speculated there was something under the hood that was helping the handset hold its charge. 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. Some people believe this phone is an attempt to make sure handsets can keep up with users expectations of the tech in their pocket.
