The two big trends in smartphone development are increasingly fast processors and ever-sleeker cases.

The drawback, of course, is that fast processors require a lot of power, and sleek cases leave no room for batteries – which is why your mate is always plugging their phone in whenever they come round.

Power Max by name, and power max by nature. This absolute beast of a phone promises a solid weeks worth of use between charges.

That equates to 48 hours of continuous video playback. So if you have a serious hankering to watch Andy Warhols amazingly dull art-house epic Empire you could watch it three times on the bounce before plugging your phone in.

The downside, of course, is that the Power Max is a seriously big unit. Its about three iPhones thick, so youll need a jacket with sizeable pockets.

But that chunky body has room for five cameras (two for selfies, three on the back) a MediaTek processor, 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage.

The phone, which runs Android 9, will launch this summer – lets hope cargo shorts with big pockets come back into style.
