Honor officially reminds us that because the public beta version is still in the development stage, its operation may not be as ideal as the official commercial version, such as some applications (including three-party applications) may be unstable or incompatible, affecting the user’s experience.

It should be noted that users should back up their important data in advance before upgrading to the public beta version (if you withdraw from the public beta activity, you need to roll back to the stable version, and this rollback operation will clear all user data). In addition, Honor recommends that the phone set aside 10GB of internal storage space to avoid the possibility of not being able to upgrade due to a lack of space.

Honor 70 Pro+ specifications and features

The 70 Pro+ comes with the highest specifications among the three devices from Honor’s new launch. The device comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor. It also has a triple rear camera setup that borrows a few design points from the Honor 60 series cutout. Here are the specifications of the Honor 70 Pro+:

• Screen: 6.78-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate and PWM dimming.
• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 9000. 
• Storage: 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB storage variants.
• Main Camera: Triple setup with a 54MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera.

• Battery: 4500mAh battery with 100W fast charge.
• Operating System: Magic UI OS 6.1, running on Android 12 without Google Play Services.

The main camera on this device is the new Sony IMX800, which promises vivid image capturing. The video capability of this smartphone receives a boost from Honor’s software implementations. With the specifications of this device, we can comfortably say that it will offer a flagship experience.

The major difference between the 70 Pro+ model and the Pro model is the process and added storage options. On the 70 Pro, the processor powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 processor. This is a midrange flagship processor, although not being as capable as the Dimensity 9000 processor it still offers a premium experience. The storage options on this device are, 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage.

Honor 70 specifications and features

Being the base model, there are changes to most specifications and features of the device. A processor for Snapdragon, which isn’t as capable as those on the 70 Pro models. The battery got a little increase in capacity and an obvious reduction in charging speed. Below are the full specifications of the Honor 70:

• Screen: 6.67-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate.
• Processor: Snapdragon 778G+ 5G processor. 
• Storage: 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB storage options.
• Main Camera: Triple setup with a 54MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto camera.
• Front Camera: 32MP front-facing camera.
• Battery: 4800mAh battery with 66W fast charge.
• Operating System: Magic UI 6.1, running on Android 12 without Google Play Services.
• Biometrics: Under display fingerprint sensor.

These are specifications of a typical budget device, it’ll be entering a very competitive market. It might face some setbacks due to its lack of core Google services. But, Honor has seen improvement in sales in the Chinese region by outselling the existing competition. This device will find a perfect spot in the Chinese and Asian markets.

Honor 70 series price and availability
