There’s a lot of hype surrounding HONOR right now, as the brand has just launched several new devices at IFA 2022, as well as its official return to the Philippine market.
Today, a teaser was posted on its Facebook Page for what looks like an upcoming smartphone launch, and judging by the timing, and the look of the device in the photo, we’re guessing it’s the HONOR 70 series, or at least the HONOR 70, which was also launched in Malaysia.
HONOR 70 5G is the brand’s current mid-range flagship and uses a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ along with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.
For optics, the rear houses a 54MP IMX800 Super Sensing Camera, a 50MP Ultra-Wide and Macro unit, and a 2MP depth sensor. It can shoot up to 4K video and features EIS. Up front is a 32MP snapper, also with EIS and can shoot 1080p video.
HONOR 70 runs Magic UI 6.1 on top of Android 12 and houses a 4,800mAh battery with 66W SuperCharge support. Other features include NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and support for aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC.
