As handsets get increasingly smarter, the need for more battery power becomes feasible. This is what Oukitel K10000 hopes to give to their customers. According to Mashable, the upcoming phablet got its name from its 10,000 milliamp-hours battery power storage capability. It carries three times more power than the largest smartphone batteries out in the market today.

The monstrous battery life can last for up to 10 to 15 days. However, iDigital Times reports that they find the capacity a little too incredulous and compared it to the battery life of an iPhone 6S Plus which can run for 1.5 days. They tripled it and found that the K10000 can run for up to five days with regular use.

The smartphone's battery can apparently charge other devices because it is a battery pack. It comes with a 9V/2A flash charger and has an OTC function that can reverse charge multiple devices at the same time. This means it can recharge an iPhone 6S plus up to three times, says Mashable.

The outlet adds that the K10000 is average besides its unusually large battery. It has a 5.5-inch screen which is pretty big so it should be considered a phablet. The screen has a 720p resolution. It houses a 1 GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card and supports dual sims It has 2 cameras with the rear having an 8-megapixel and LED flash capability. The front camera is 2-megapixels.

Daily Mail reports that Oukitel claims that the smartphone is a "frameless" design with its curved and angular shaped body. The K10000 is priced at $239.99 and can be bought online from GearBest. The presale ends on Jan. 2 and the stocks will arrive on Jan. 30 and the shipping will start on the same day as well. In the store page, it is revealed that for the K10000 to be fully charged and working for several days, it has to be plugged in for about 3.5 hours.

Smartphone and mobile device giants are scrambling to make more efficient batteries and improve charging technology. Just last month, Huawei announced they have developed a quick-charge battery made from lithium-ion. According to PC Mag, it charges up to 10 times faster than ordinary batteries.

Huawei presented the quick-charge batteries at the 56th Battery Symposium in Nagoya. The 600mAh capacity battery made by Watt Lab in China can be charged to almost 70 percent in just two minutes. The second 3,000 mAh battery can charge up to 48 percent in just 5 minutes. It is not yet known how soon the lithium-ion fast-charging batteries will be available in the market.
