The Honor 70 is a great combination of hardware and software support with the pretty impeccable camera performance. It also includes 5G connectivity with an impressive viewing experience with the OLED display. But, the fact can’t be hidden that the company has used older generation chipsets. If you are not an Honor fan, we recommend you check out alternative options. At the same price point, you will find the Oppo Reno 9 Pro Plus, which is a fabulous deal as you are getting fascinating hardware, the latest software, and impressive camera quality, all of that will make this phone a great deal for every user. Overall, we have presented all of the details, now it’s time for you to compare it with other devices and make the final call.

The CES show in the USA is where a lot of technology gets launched however the show made a big thing of not inviting certain big players this year as their support for Ukraine holds firm. There are still a good number of new offerings around launched at about the same time but not actually in the CES show. Technically this SmartPhone was launched in 2022 but only now have I been offered one to review.

As we mentioned earlier, it is priced at around 549 euros for the base model, set to take on other base-model flagship phones at the same price. Now, there is some concern at this price point, especially the build quality that lacks IP68 protection and Gorilla Glass coating, features which are present in a lot of its rivals. But if you’re really after one of the best mid-rangers that Honor has to offer, then the Honor 70 is a solid choice, given the overall performance that it can deliver on a day-to-day basis. A good-looking design, zippy performance, and capable cameras definitely round up the strengths of this handset.

To wrap it all up, the HONOR 70 accomplishes a victory for checking all the right boxes in a mid-range phone with its aesthetic for high-end phones. It is definitely a step forward for the company after breaking away from Huawei. A good move too as it got to keep its Google Services. Overall, the HONOR 70 is a nice piece of work with great performance and battery life that lasts throughout the day. With its top-notch camera that delivers accuracy and consistent color reproduction, it is a must-buy in our books and is definitely a solid choice.

The HONOR 70 is one of be better upper mid-range phones being offered in the Philippines, and can even pass as a proper “lite” version of the Magic4 Pro. While it lacks features like stereo speakers and OIS, the HONOR 70 has one of the best cameras for its price segment, along with a stellar curved AMOLED display.

80% Honor 70 review: A particularly classy mid-ranger
Source: Expert Reviews English
The Honor 70 is an elegant, highly capable mid-range smartphone with decent performance, strong battery life and a camera that’s capable of very good things in the right conditions. Its design, while far from original, adds a touch of flagship class, too. However, it enters a market where the OnePlus Nord 2T (£319), Pixel 6a (£384), Samsung Galaxy A53 5G (£399) and Nothing Phone (1) (£449) are offering similar and often superior features for roughly £80 less. As a result, while the Honor 70 is a good phone, it doesn’t feel like great value. If you really want that classy, curvaceous flagship design, then the Honor 70 is as good as you’re going to get south of £500. But if all-round camera quality or flat-out performance matter more to you, or you desire features such as proper water-resistance or wireless charging, there are better options for less money.

The Honor 70 is a very good mid-range phone that performs well, has a beautiful, slightly curved display, and feels delightfully thin and light. Along with that we get some very capable cameras, and a fairly stock Android 12 experience with Google Play. Some of its bigger downsides include the uncertainty about its software updates, its plastic build, and lack of water resistance and wireless charging.

80% Honor 70 review: An elegant mid-ranger, with substance to match the style
Source: Zdnet.com English
The Honor 70, in the Crystal Silver colourway that I reviewed, is a great-looking handset with a quirky backplate design that isn't spoiled by the provided bumper. The 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED screen is superb, and the greyscale mode may have wide appeal. Fast charging is almost a necessity these days, and it's good to see 66W supported here. Downsides include a distinctly average mono speaker and lack of certification for dust/water resistance, while the camera system, beyond the competent 54MP wide-angle main camera, could offer more.

Source: Cool Smartphone English
I have been very impressed with the Honor 70 and I have been happy with my time using the phone. I think it is going to be popular with those in the market for a premium-looking midi-tier phone that doesn’t have a mid-tier price point. it does a lot of things right from the stunning design to the great cameras and smooth stutter-free performance. I have even been mostly pleased with Magic UI which has traditionally been a pain point for me. Who would I recommend this phone to then? Honestly, this is a phone that can capture such a broad segment of the market it is difficult to say. Howver one thing i can say with certainty is that if you are a keen mobile photographer then there is a lot on this phone to be excited about and you will enjoy using its features especially if you are someone who uses a lot of social media for sharing those photos and videos that you create. Another segment is style-conscious and up-and-coming influencers as they are able to afford a phone that looks like it should be in the next tier and for the most part, it will perform in that higher their as well. Lastly, for anyone who wants their phone to look good and make a subtle but strong statement then this may be a phone worth considering as it is certainly one of the nicer-looking handsets I have seen this year especially if shiny things are your cup of tea (go for the Crystal Silver one as it is stunning).

Honor 70 Display test

The Honor 70 display performed very well in key use cases such as watching videos, gaming and viewing photos, thanks to good brightness levels, color fidelity and smoothness. The display’s performance fell short in sunlight conditions, which made the screen unreadable. While brightness was good for watching videos, the content suffered from judder. Smoothness was also lacking when browsing the web on the device.

Honor 70 Battery test
Source: DxOMark English
The Honor 70 showed a decent autonomy experience. Its performance during the Typical Usage Scenario (TUS) was above average, with good night management (only 1.67% of power lost per night). The experience was above average also during the on-the-go tests, especially when scrolling on social apps and using the camera. In calibrated mode, the performances were satisfactory across all use cases, with decent autonomy when gaming and streaming videos. When it came to charging, the 66W charger provided about 6 hours and 30 minutes of autonomy after a 5-minute boost. It took 31 minutes and 40 seconds to fill the battery to 80% of its 4800 mAh capacity, and 1 hour and 13 minutes to fully charge it. We also measured that the time between the 100% displayed on the screen and the true full charge, which is indicated by a drop of power consumption from the outlet, was really long at 28 min. In addition, the residual consumption of the charger was higher than average. The charge efficiency, as well as the power adapter efficiency, was good.

80% Honor 70 review: featherweight and fine-looking
Source: Stuff TV English
The Honor 70 unapologetically prioritises slim, lightweight styling, screen quality and camera performance above all else. It’s a very good smartphone in those areas, and we’d go so far as to say it’s best-in-class for anyone after a slender, rich-looking phone to watch content on at under £500. That the phone’s battery and performance impress only add to its appeal, and with a good camera in most situations, it definitely covers the basics. When you look to the nice-to-haves (features like wireless charging, water resistance, stereo speakers and optical image stabilisation) that’s where the Honor 70’s compromises are. Still, most people can live without any of those. Plus, no phone at the price packs all of them, and any alternatives that feature one or two aren’t as sleek as the Honor 70. All this means Honor’s made one of the best midrange smartphones out now, despite its shortcomings.

The Honor 70 is an accomplished mid-range phone, a confident step forward for the company after its breakaway from Huawei. With Google services and apps, a thoughtful and attractive design, strong performance, and good battery life, this is one of the better phones in this price range in the UK and Europe – sorry US friends. It’s hard to fully recommend it though when the Pixel 6a is cheaper, is similarly plastic but has a superlative camera set up and a better version of Android (with longer support to boot), while the Nothing Phone (1) also undercuts the Honor in price too and adds in wireless charging. But with a 120Hz display and very good main camera, the Honor 70 is a solid choice and takes it to phones like the OnePlus Nord 2T – though that phone is also cheaper. If Honor’s next mid-range phone can boost the software promise and shrink the price, it will have a real winner on its hands.

All-in-all, the Honor 70 is a strong, sleek slab with a good UI, decent cameras and admirable mid-range performance. But there's a big problem here. There are some omissions, which I initially chalked up to cost cutting. The lack of wireless charging and the mid-range internals that reduce your use to just below any super intensive tasks. But at £80 more than the Nothing phone (1) and many more competitors giving you more for less, it's difficult to recommend the Honor 70.

Honor 70 Review: Great photos, mid-range everything else
Source: XDA Developers English
The Honor 70 is merely just a mid-range phone with some additional extras, and that means it’s not a particularly unique or special smartphone. It does a good job at pretty much everything, but there are phones that are a whole lot better than it at various different tasks. Want a good camera? Get a Pixel 6a. Want cleaner software (though with a bit of an unproven track record)? Then the Nothing Phone 1 might be worth it. Then there’s obviously the likes of the OnePlus Nord 2T and the litany of options from Poco and other device manufacturers, and you end up in a situation where the Honor 70 just seems overpriced. There’s not a whole lot more to really add, to be honest. The phone is a good one, but it costs a lot for what you get. Why spend so much on a phone that’s only a little bit better than some phones that cost 20% less? If this phone ever goes on sale, I’d consider it then, but otherwise, the other phones that it competes against are already available for a lot lower price. Google services and the echos of a Huawei-driven smartphone aren’t enough to coast off of when commanding a premium price — there needs to be more. Honor does well with what it has, but to charge a price that much higher than the rest of the space, it needs to do more.

100% Honor 70 review: A midrange marvel
Source: It Pro English
If you want a phone with a big, bright screen, a fairly snappy processor and a decent set of cameras, the Honor 70 can offer all that for less than £500. What’s more, it can actually offer you a full day of use - something many of the top manufacturers have struggled to do since they all switched to 120Hz displays. This is by no means the ‘perfect’ phone. It doesn’t have the processor or camera technology to compete with Samsung or Apple. But what it does have, for its price range, is shockingly good. There’s still a few months to go, but this is likely going to be the bargain of the year.

60% Honor 70 Review: No Deal-Breakers, No Showstoppers
Source: The Verge English
Most of the Honor 70’s features are good enough. Its cameras are good enough, its software is good enough, and its length of software support is good enough. There are even some aspects of the phone that are better than good enough, like battery life, charging speeds, and the responsiveness of its display. (Although I wish it weren’t curved.) But with a starting price of £480, £80 more expensive than several other very capable midrange handsets that have been released this year, “good enough” isn’t really good enough to justify a purchase. Google’s Pixel 6A is more affordable, with better cameras, longer software support, and an official IP rating for dust and water resistance. Samsung’s Galaxy A53 is more affordable and offers a similarly lengthy software support period and a fantastic, flat display. The iPhone SE 5G is more affordable and offers access to the iOS app ecosystem and wireless charging. The Nothing Phone 1 has fun flashing lights. Unless you definitely need an IP rating, I don’t think the Honor 70 has any serious flaws or deal-breakers.

The midrange Honor 70 delivers beyond what you'd expect with its display and cameras, but disappoints with its lackluster chipset and a higher starting price than its competitors. It'll work well for you if you like photos and video, but if you need something with more power or a longer software support span, the Samsung Galaxy A53 may be the better option.

The Honor 70 is a very strong all-round package, delivering in spades in all of the most important areas. The screen is wonderful for playing games or watching videos, being both smooth and punchy, while the camera is highly detailed and produces very pleasing images. Performance is plenty strong enough by my reckoning, though not exceptional in its field, and the battery is good enough to get you through the day. You might be a little disappointed in the lack of an IP rating, or the lack of a dedicated telephoto sensor for that matter, and it’s true that these would be notable improvements; however, it’s inevitable that there will some compromises in a mid-range device, and you’re unlikely to find alternatives that are as good as the Honor 70 for the same price.

The HONOR 70 offers a lot, there’s no doubt about that. At its price tag, it sure sounds like a compelling smartphone. It does a lot of things better than most other phones in this price range, so it’s worth considering, that’s for sure. You’ll be getting a really premium-feeling device, with good camera performance, and a great display. The battery life is also not bad, and fast charging is included. HONOR had to cut some corners here, of course, but as a whole, the HONOR 70 is another good offering from HONOR. It cannot match the flagships of the world, but it also costs half as much, so… take that into consideration.

60% Honor 70 review: a good phone that I can’t recommend
Source: Digital Trends English
There’s nothing wrong with the Honor 70 at all, but I really can’t find a reason to recommend it over any other similarly priced phone. It’s even quite difficult to recommend it over the currently much cheaper Honor 50 if you really must have an Honor phone. The saturated smartphone market makes it hard for brands to do something different, but the Honor 70 is the company on autopilot. If you’ve got 500 pounds or around $600 to spend on a new phone, the choice is huge. We’d recommend the Google Pixel 6, to wait to see the Google Pixel 7, or to spend less and get the Google Pixel 6a. The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is a great buy, I recently liked the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, the OnePlus Nord 2T and the Realme GT Neo 3T are well priced, and the Nothing Phone 1 is totally different from anything else out there at the moment. Shop around or trade in a phone with Samsung directly, and the Galaxy S22 even becomes an option too. When I swap my SIM card from the Honor 70 into another phone, I don’t think I’ll remember the Honor 70, and that’s probably the harshest criticism of any current device.

The Honor 70 is a really nice all-rounder with an ultrawide camera that stands out from the crowd, unrivaled selfie game, fast charging, a nice display and a llightweight design with premium feel. But just like its predecessor, the price is what keeps us from recommending it. There are many options with a similar feature set asking a lot less and there are also powerful flagship killers at the Honor 70's price. Honor's offering has a few key disadvantages that can't be overlooked - less than ideal chipset for the asking price, no stereo speakers (this one isn't even loud enough), not the best battery life overall, no ingress protection and the software still feels rather unfinished with aggressive background app management. It can potentially become a sound choice for many once the price drops in the following months, but for now, your hard-earned money may be better spent elsewhere.

Honor 70 hands-on review: an interesting mix
Source: Stuff TV English
The Honor 70 looks like an interesting mix. The compromises are clear – there’s no wireless charging, the phone has a plastic frame, it isn’t IP68 dust and water protected, and it doesn’t have top-tier power or a telephoto camera. In the same breath, it’s without a doubt, one of the best-looking, thinnest, lightest, best-looking phones available at its price. The curved glass back and front look and feel rich, and it has two high-resolution cameras. This is the kind of phone you just can’t call on first impression. How it fares will come down to camera performance and battery life, as well as day-to-day use. So check back for the full review to see if it’s one of the best midrange smartphones out now. If you’re already sold, pre-orders start on the 26th of August directly through the Honor website. It’ll be coming to Argos, Currys, Amazon, Very, as well as Three UK and Vodafone from the 2nd of September.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 642L: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 40% faster than the Adreno 620.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 778G+ 5G: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 670 cores (four fast ARM Cortex-A78 core at up to 2.5 GHz and four small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.9 GHz) and an integrated X53 5G modem (up to 3300 Mbps download). The SoC is manufactured in the modern 6 nm process at TSMC. Compared to the older non-plus variant, the 778G+ offers 100 MHz higher clocked CPU cores.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.67":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


81.57%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
