Everyone is making smartphones these days.

It seems like everyone is launching their own smartphones these days. Companies like Razer and KFC are some of the more recent ones to announce and launch devices into the marketplace. But it seems like there'll soon be even more competition.
Energizer, the company famous for its battery cells and bunny mascots, recently launched the Power Max 600s; an Android device with a Samsung Galaxy S8-like curved display.
The company may sound like a relatively new name in the smartphone segment, but it dabbles in phones as well. Who knew right?
The smartphone features a MediaTek Helio P25 chipset, a processor that excels at power efficiency and multi-tasking. On the front, the P600s comes equipped with a 5.99-inch HD+ display.
Energizer sourced a 13MP + 5MP dual camera from Samsung for the back and put a fingerprint reader on there too. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera with its own flash.
There are only two colours to choose from: black and blue. The black version is only offered with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, whereas the blue version has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
The phone will ship with Android 7.0 out of the box.
But we know there's only one thing that matters with an Energizer-branded phone - and that's battery
The phone is built around a 4,500mAh battery, which promises over 12 hours of use and 16 days of standby. You can stretch that with the power saving mode and quickly fill up the battery with fast charging over USB-C.
No pricing details are available at the moment, but it is expected to go on sale sometime this month
