Tech Blog #89 | Best of Honor 10n Series - Honor 70 Pro

Yesterday I reviewed about The Honor 60 Pro. And now, it's time for Honor 70 Pro. I remember Huawei P50 back in 2022 and this smartphone has the design aesthetic of it. We all know Honor is no longer with Huawei, but back in 2022, there were connections in planning between the companies but they are over now. That's some details out of the topic. And now, Let's explore its key features in more detail.

The Honor 70 Pro was announced in May 2022 and released in June. It sports a sleek and elegant design and weighs 192 grams. The device features a glass front and back, exuding a premium look and feel. The smartphone has a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution just higher than 1080P. It supports 1 billion colors and a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth and vibrant visuals. The screen-to-body ratio is approximately 91.1%, providing an interactive viewing experience with minimal bezels.

Running on the Android 12 operating system with Magic UI 6.1, the Honor 70 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chipset. The octa-core processor and Mali-G610 GPU handles graphics processing, delivering smooth performance for gaming and multimedia tasks. In terms of memory and storage, the Honor 70 Pro offers three configurations: 256GB of internal storage paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, or 512GB of internal storage with 12GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the device does not include a card slot for expandable storage.

The Honor 70 Pro consists of a versatile camera system that allows you to capture stunning photos and videos. It features a triple-camera setup on the rear, including a 54MP wide lens and OIS, an 8MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture and 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide lens with Autofocus. The ultrawide camera can capture macro images too. It can record videos in resolutions up to 4K at 30fps, with gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) ensuring smooth footage. On the front, there is a 50MP front-facing ultrawide camera which captures high-quality selfies.

The Honor 70 Pro has a non-removable 4500mAh Li-Po battery, providing long-lasting usage. It supports 100W wired charging, allowing for rapid charging times. The advertised 60% charge in just 15 minutes is impressive. Additionally, the device supports 5W reverse wired charging, enabling you to charge your audio devices using your smartphone when its battery running low.

The Honor 70 Pro is available in four attractive color options: Black, Green, Gold, and Silver. With a price of around 520 EUR, the device offers competitive pricing considering its features and specifications. Its Mediatek chipset is a bummer but attractive design, camera setup and competitive pricing make it a compelling choice for users seeking a feature-packed smartphone.
