Honor has confirmed that its new 700 series smartphones will pack a 9,000mAh battery and Snapdragon chips across the range, one day before the phones launch in China on 13 November. The company shared the details in an official Weibo post, also confirming an AI-powered dynamic display on the back of every model and 4K cinematic Live photos. Pre-orders are already open in China through Honor Mall, JD.com, Tmall and Douyin.

A rear screen on every model

The series includes three phones — the Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S — and all three carry a small square display set into the rear camera island. Honor's promotional material shows the panel displaying the time, widgets and animations, and offering a live preview when taking selfies with the main rear cameras. The company describes the line-up as a complete redesign of its numbered series, and has signed Chinese singer and actress Ju Jingyi as its brand ambassador. The phones will come in Cold White, Clear Sky, Blue Tone and Pink Mist, with memory options up to 16GB of RAM.

What is confirmed — and what is not

Honor has not named the specific Snapdragon processor in each model, and has not announced pricing or a full specification sheet. Reports suggest the standard Honor 700 will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and the Pro model the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, while a Geekbench listing linked to the Pro also pointed to 16GB of RAM — but Honor has not confirmed any of those details. All three models have passed China's 3C certification with chargers rated at up to 80W. Honor has not said whether the series will be sold outside China.
