Honor has just confirmed that it will unleash the Android smartphone market’s biggest battery yet in just a few days from today (July 12, 2025).
It will be available in the X70, the design of which has also now been revealed. While that will be less novel, it will present its series’ classic Star Ring camera hump in new Bamboo Green, Moon Shadow White, Phantom Night Black and Vermillion Red colorways.
They are backed to stay in mint condition for longer with dust and water resistance touted to go up to IP69K levels. The X70 has also apparently achieved an SGS “Gold Label Triple-Proof” drop-resistant certification.
For all those potential killer features, the X70 is also projected to be held back in certain ways – chiefly its performance, which might be hampered by its integration of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC.
In addition, it might fail to live up to its durability hype over time, should the plastic mid-frame predicted by the prodigious leaker Digital Chat Station indeed be made manifest on its July 15, 2025 debut.
I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
