After a string of leaks and rumors, Honor has officially unveiled the Honor 70 series in China. It’s the successor to the Honor 60 series from last year and adds a new member to the lineup called the Honor 70 Pro+. In this article, we will look into the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Honor 70 Pro, and 70 Pro+ in Nepal. 

Honor 70 Pro, 70 Pro+ Overview:

Design and Display

Here, the Honor 70 and Honor 70 Pro+ are similar in a lot of aspects, including their design and display. Both come with a 6.78-inch BOE-made OLED screen with QHD+ resolution. 

Honor 70 Pro Design and Display

It’s a 10-bit panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz and is 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming certified, which helps to reduce screen flickering. You also get an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics.

Moving on, the Honor 70 series takes design cues from its predecessor. It keeps the curved edge design and a large pill-shaped camera module on the rear. Likewise, the Mist Stand color of the phone has a diamond cut pattern on the back, whereas the rest of the shades have a matte finish.

Camera

Over on the camera front, the 70 Pro and Pro+ feature a 54MP Sony IMX800 primary lens with a 1/1.49” sensor size. This is Sony’s flagship camera sensor that captures more light for brighter and more detailed pictures, especially in backlit and night scenarios.

Honor 70 Pro Plus Cameras

Accompanying this is a 50MP ultrawide lens and an 8MP telephoto module with 3x optical zoom and OIS. It’s also worth noting that the ultrawide sensor doubles as a macro lens. For selfies, there is a 50MP camera fitted inside a punch-hole cutout. 

Performance

The Honor 70 Pro+ differs from the regular Pro model in one major way, which is the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. On the other hand, the Honor 70 Pro features a Dimensity 8000 SoC instead. Regardless, both mobile silicons can be configured with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. 

Likewise, the handset gets its juice from a 4600mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging. As per Honor, the smartphone is juiced up to 60% in just 15 mins and up to 100% in just 30 minutes. Software-wise, all the smartphones in the Honor 70 series come pre-installed with MagicUI 6.1, which is based on Android 12.
