The X70 is now projected to have a display of ~6.8 inches in diagonal length, just like that of its predecessor - however, Honor is thought to upgrade that screen to AMOLED, whereas the X60 made do with LCD in late 2024.
It is thought to have the on-trend 1.5K resolution, much like the 6.78-inch X60 Pro. The widely-regarded leaker Digital Chat Station also hints that the X70 will have a battery of at least 7,000mAh in typical capacity, despite being the most vanilla version of its upcoming series.
The X70 might launch alongside its Pro sibling in the fourth quarter of 2024, and might debut with Magic OS 9 out of the box by that time.
It will be interesting to see if the successor to the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra-powered X60 can still command its 1,199 yuan (~$167) starting price with its rumored upgrades on its launch.
As for the LCD display, Digital Chat Station heralds this alleged development at Honor as further evidence of its expungement from the Android smartphone market - although it might still be an option for some cost-effective tablets of the future.
