Honor today announced three new handsets, the 70, 70 Pro and the 70 Pro+. Let’s start with the last model, the most premium of the three. The Honor 70 Pro+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 built by TSMC using its 4nm process node. Both the 70 Pro+ and 70 Pro are equipped with a 6.78-inch OLED display with a “symmetrical quad curved design”. The Honor 70 Pro has the 5nm MediaTek Dimensity 8000 under the hood, a very capable chip but still a sport under the Dimensity 9000.

The 70 Pro will be available in models with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage for 3,699 Yuan, with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage for 3,999 Yuan, and with 12 GB RAM with 512 GB storage with a price tag of 4,399 Yuan. The Honor 70 is also available for pre-order today and will be released from June 7.
The Honor 70 series is available in the following colors: Midnight Black, Crystal Silver, Emerald Green, Frosted Gold and Icelandic Frost. Keep in mind that the only difference between the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+ is the chipset with the 5nm Dimensity 8000 on the former and the 4nm Dimensity 9000 powering the latter. Remember that the lower the process node, the higher the number of transistors in a chip. That is why the Dimensity 9000 is more powerful and energy efficient than the Dimensity 8000.
George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co., Ltd. said, “…the HONOR 70 Series delivers a significant leap forward in image and video performance, perfect for the younger generation who desire innovative technology and creative solutions when it comes to content creation.”
