Powering up the Honor 70 is the Snapdragon 778+ chipset, fast octa-core processor, good graphics and up to a whopping 12GB. This combination makes it fast enough for all your daily needs, be it simple web browsing or heavy-duty gaming.
Camera-wise, the Honor 70 is right up there with the big boys, thanks to its 54MP+50MP+2MP triple primary camera setup. This enables you to capture more light for brighter and more detailed pictures, especially in backlit and night scenario. It also features industry-leading Computational Photography powered by AI and Honor’s proprietary imaging solution, Honor Image Engine, delivering stunning, high-definition images and footage in a unique and consistent style.
To further complement its prowess, the 32MP selfie camera is there for all your selfie needs.
By taking lots of high-res photos, you will then need to be mindful of its storage. This is where you need to take note of its unavailability of an expansion slot. But even then, the built-in 256GB or 512GB of internal storage is more than enough for all your favorite apps and games.
Moving on to the battery side of things, the 4800 mAh battery is highly capable of supplying the necessary juice for it to last for a good full day of usage. And when the time comes to charge it, the 66W fast charging will get it up to 100% in no time at all.
If there’s one inconvenience about the Honor 70, and it may even be a deal-breaker for some, is the fact that it won’t be coming in with Google Play Services. This means that you won’t have access to your favorite Google apps such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Meet, and much more.
Conclusion:
Honor 70 is everything you need and more from a smartphone. Large 6.67-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, powerful performance, great triple primary camera setup with 54MP Sony IMX800 leading the way, 32MP selfie camera, large battery capacity and the latest Android 12 operating system. The only flaw is that it won’t come with Google Play Services, which is a sad thing indeed.
Honor 70 had just been released with a price tag that starts from 2,699 Chinese Yuan Euro or ~405 USD for the 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. There are four amazing colors for you to choose from, namely Black, Green, Blue and Silver.
