It seems like Honor is preparing to launch the Honor X70, which is set to succeed the Honor X60 that was released in October 2024. Although the announcement is yet to come, it seems like new leaks have come out revealing some important specifications. With these new leaks, it does appear like there would be more improvements made to the X70 with respect to performance, battery, and charging compared to the previous model. Furthermore, it appears that the smartphone will be released in different configurations and colours, which means that there is more focus on capturing a wider market.

Honor X70: Expected Specifications and Features

Powerful Battery and Fast Charging

The highlight from the leaks about Honor X70 is without a doubt its whopping 8300 mAh battery. This is a lot more than the 5800 mAh unit found in the X60. If the information is correct, this would place the X70 as one of the class-leading phones when it comes to longevity.

Battery Capacity: 8,300 mAh

Wired Charging: 80W fast charging

Wireless Charging: Only available on the 512 GB variant

This bump not only improves day-to-day performance but will also attract users benefiting from long battery life coupled with quick recharges.

Display and Build

As per leaks, Honor X70 is expected to feature a 6.79-inch display with 1.5K resolution. While the panel type is yet to be confirmed, last gen featured a TFT LCD with 120Hz refresh rate, and this model is likely to have the same.

Honor is rumored to contain a thickness of 7.7 mm and weight of 193 grams. However, the variant with 512GB and wireless charging will be 7.9 mm thin and 199 grams heavy which is slightly bulkier because of the extra charger coil added due to turning a wireless charger.

Performance and Storage Options

We expect to see the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset replacing the MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra that was in the X60 on the upcoming device. This change might bring improved efficiency in performance and AI processing.

Processor: Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC

Storage Options: Multiple variants expected, up to 512GB

Wireless Charging: Limited to the top-tier 512GB model

RAM configurations have not been mentioned yet, but it is common for mid-range SoCs to be coupled with 6GB to 12GB.

Colour Options

The Honor X70 is expected to be available in four distinct colourways:

• White
• Blue
• Black
• Red

These options suggest that Honor is aiming for broad visual appeal across user segments.
