Honor X70 is official with mammoth 8,300mAh battery

The Honor X70 is official, and it houses an impressive 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery pack. Charging is a bit complex – all units get 80W wired charging, but if you opt for the 512GB model, the phone will also support 80W wireless charging.

The phone comes in four colors: Phantom Night Black, Bamboo Green, Cinnabar Red, and Moon Shadow White, and in four configurations: 8/128GB, 8/256GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB.

At the front of the X70 is a 6.79-inch 1200x2640px 120Hz AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. Inside, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0.

There’s a single 50MP f/1.9 wide-angle camera with PDAF and OIS at the back. Upfront is an 8MP f/2.0 selfie shooter.

The Honor X700 is well-protected. It covers IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water standards, and has been drop-tested to 2.5 meters. The tempered glass display is placed on a two-piece damping layer, which then sits on a shock-absorbing frame, and finally, a honeycomb bracket.

Honor also assures that the X70 can withstand water at up to 85 ℃, a 4-hour continuous salt spray, and is waterproof up to 6 meters. The display can be used in heavy rain and with gloves, and you can summon the phone’s YoYo AI assistant to discharge dust and water from the phone.
