Shenzhen, China – Transsion, the company behind the popular smartphone brand itel, has recently unveiled its innovative Power 70 smartphone featuring a groundbreaking 10,000mAh battery solution. This comes in the form of a battery case kit, combining the phone’s internal 6000mAh battery with an additional 4000mAh battery pack.
This massive battery capacity aims to address the growing consumer demand for extended battery life, particularly in emerging markets where access to consistent power sources can be limited. itel claims the Power 70 can deliver up to 26.2 hours of gameplay on Subway Surfers, 25 hours of TikTok browsing, or a staggering 162 hours of music playback on a single charge.
Beyond sheer capacity, itel emphasizes the longevity and reliability of the Power 70’s battery. The company claims the battery can withstand 1600 charge cycles while retaining over 80% of its health after four years of use. To further instill confidence in consumers, itel is offering a four-year warranty on the battery itself.
According to a video by tech blogger Jhal Tech, the battery pack connects to the phone via USB-C. However, Transsion has not yet released detailed specifications regarding the battery pack’s input and output power capabilities.
The itel Power 70 is currently priced at 124,900 Nigerian Naira (approximately $390 USD) in Nigeria, according to the official Transsion website.
Key Specifications (as reported by IT Home):
- Battery: 6000mAh (internal) + 4000mAh (battery pack) = 10000mAh total

Analysis:
The itel Power 70 represents a bold move by Transsion to cater to the specific needs of its target market. Long battery life is a crucial factor for consumers in regions with unreliable power grids or those who heavily rely on their smartphones for entertainment and communication. The combination of a large internal battery and a detachable battery pack offers a flexible solution for users who require even more power.
However, the lack of detailed specifications regarding the battery pack’s charging capabilities raises some questions. Consumers will likely want to know how quickly the battery pack can charge the phone and itself.

The itel Power 70’s success will likely depend on its real-world performance and the availability of the battery pack. If the device lives up to its battery life claims and the battery pack proves to be convenient and reliable, it could be a game-changer in the budget smartphone market. It remains to be seen if Transsion will release the Power 70 in other markets beyond Nigeria.
