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.
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.
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.
