Today, Honor held its IFA 2022 event where the brand announced three new products—Honor 70, Honor MagicBook 14, and Honor Pad 8—to the global market. The company also introduced its new “Dual Flagship Strategy” with the aim to bring its upcoming foldable and flagship smartphones to Europe and other regions around the world.

However, the company didn’t unveil any foldable device at the event. It’s possible that Honor may bring the Honor Magic V to the European market or the tech giant may even announce an entirely new model.

Now if we talk about the newly launched products, Honor 70 and MagicBook 14 have already debuted in various countries. But the Honor Pad 8 is the company’s first tablet available outside of China. Let’s have a closer look at the price, specifications, and features of the newly launched electronics.

The Honor Pad 8 is the company’s affordable all-round tablet that comes with a 12-inch LCD screen with 2K resolution and an 87% screen-to-body ratio. It draws power from the Snapdragon 680 chipset which is coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

While Europe welcomed the Honor Magic4 series with two variants, in China the Chinese giant reborn after the separation from Huawei launched a brand new series of high-end phones: the Honor 70 lineup. It is composed of three variants: the vanilla Honor 70, the Honor 70 Pro, and the Honor 70 Pro Plus. They go from the midrange segment to the flagship one and they provide original designs and outstanding specifications for every kind of user. If you are wondering which one to buy and which are the differences between the three variants of the series, you are in the right place: this comparison between their specifications will give you the answer.

Honor 70 vs Honor 70 Pro vs Honor 70 Pro Plus

Design

The Honor 70, the Pro, and the Pro Plus variants have the same design and they only differ in their color variants. The vanilla version, for example, comes with very original color options including special textures on the rear side, as well as the Pro Plus. But overall, the design scheme does not change between these three handsets. What changes are the dimensions, the thickness, and the weight. The vanilla version comes with a more compact design because it has a smaller display. Further, it is thinner and lighter than the Pro variants. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus have the same bigger dimensions and the same thicker body.

Display

All of these phones come with amazing displays and they are at the same level. They provide you with great OLED panels able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The color reproduction is very realistic, the blacks are very deep, and there is an in-display fingerprint reader on each of these phones. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus have exactly the same panel with a punch hole placed centrally, while the vanilla Honor 70 only differs because of a smaller display, but not so smaller. These handsets are equipped with great stereo speakers, but they do not offer a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

Among the most important difference between these three handsets, there is definitely the processor. The Honor 70 is considered a mid-ranger because it sports a Snapdragon 778G+ mobile platform built at 6 nm with a max frequency of 2.5 GHz. The Honor 70 Pro comes right after with a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.75 GHz. At last, the Honor 70 Pro Plus is the flagship because it sports the most powerful Mediatek chipset out there: the Dimensity 9000 built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz. With the exception of the Pro Plus variant coming with up to 256 GB of internal storage, all the phones sport a max amount of storage of 512 GB, as well as 12 GB of RAM in the most advanced configurations. They run Android 12 customized by Magic UI 6.1.

Camera

All the phones of the trio come with a triple camera including a 54 MP main sensor and a 50 MP ultrawide lens. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro Plus replace the useless 2 MP macro sensor of the vanilla version with an 8 MP telephoto lens supporting 3x optical zoom and OIS, that is the reason why they have better zoom capabilities. They also replace the 32 MP main camera of the vanilla version with a superior 50 MP snapper.

Battery

Despite the Honor 70 being the most affordable and even the thinnest handset of the trio, it is equipped with a bigger battery, with a capacity of 4800 mAh instead of the 4500 mAh capacity found on the remaining models. So it is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge. On the other hand, the Pro and the Pro Plus are able to charge quicker thanks to 100W fast charging. All of these phones support reverse charging allowing you to use the phone as a power bank to charge other devices.

Price

The starting price of the Honor 70 in China roughly translates to €380/$395, the Honor 70 Pro starts from €520/$542 in its base configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage, and the Pro Plus starts from €600/$625 in the same configuration. The Honor 70 Pro and the Pro+ only differ in the processor, while there are several other differences when it comes to the vanilla version. Which one would you pick?

Redmi Note 11T Pro+ is the first Pro Plus variant from the Redmi Note series and it is also the first phone from the series to reach the high-end segment. Thanks to a very powerful processor, an incredibly high refresh rate, and blazing charging speeds, this device is a perfect option for gamers. But there is another handset great for those who want to save money while getting an advanced Android phone: the vanilla Honor 70 from the new Honor 70 series. After comparing the new Redmi Note to the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus, we decided to publish a comparison between the specifications of the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus and the Honor 70. You will like it if you are looking for an advanced phone sold at a modest price.

Honor 70 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus 5G

Design

The design of the Honor 70 is very lovely and original. It comes with amazing textures on the rear side which vary depending on the chosen color option. It looks very elegant and futuristic and it wins the design comparison not only for its original look but also because it comes with a great curved screen with a very high screen to body ratio. Last but not least, it is thinner and lighter than its rival. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus has an important added value: it is splash resistant and dust resistant thanks to the IP53 certification, but there is no way for it to compete with the Honor 70 in terms of aesthetics. So if you are looking for the most beautiful phone, you know what to choose.

Display

Do you care about having the best possible image quality? If so, you should definitely go for the Honor 70. It has a stunning OLED display that shows up to one billion colors with a 6.67-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It provides brighter colors and deeper blacks thanks to its OLED panel, while the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus has a more disappointing LCD display with inferior image quality. On the other hand, it features a higher 144 Hz refresh rate and this is a good element for gamers and for those seeking the smoothest viewing experience. The Honor 70 has an in-display fingerprint reader, while on the Redmi Note it is side-mounted.

Specs & Software

The device with the highest performance here is the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus, thanks to the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz. This chipset is an upgrade of the Dimensity 8100 with better AI performance and it is actually the best MediaTek SoC after the Dimensity 9000. Inside the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus, it is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The Snapdragon 778G+ found on the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is just a midrange chipset, even though it is the best Qualcomm midrange chipset if we exclude the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box with customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

The best camera phone in this comparison and even the only one which can be considered a high-end camera phone in this duo is the Honor 70. It comes with the new 54 MP Sony sensor paired with a great 50 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is equipped with a 64 MP triple camera including an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. The Honor 70 wins even when it comes to the selfies, thanks to a 32 MP front camera.

Battery

The Honor 70 is the handset with the longest battery life because it is equipped with a 4800 mAh battery and it comes with a more efficient OLED display. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus is able to provide faster charging speeds thanks to 120W fast charging. Do you prefer having a longer battery life or faster charging speeds? You can let us know by using the comment box below.

Price

For now, the Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus and the Honor 70 are only sold in the Chinese market and their global availability is yet to come. The Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus hitten the shelves with a starting price of €300/$320 at the actual change, while the Honor 70 starts from €380/$407 in its base variant. The latest Honor mid-ranger wins the comparison because it offers a better OLED display and superior cameras, as well as a bigger battery. But the Redmi Note is a better option for a lot of gamers because of its higher refresh rate, better chipset, and faster charging tech.

Both smartphones are expected to carry support for 100W wired charging. Hence, it appears that the Honor phones with model numbers SDY-AN00 and HPB-AN00 that have been spotted with a 100W charger on the 3C certification platform could be the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+, respectively.

Previous reports have claimed that the Honor 70 series will be equipped with BOE-supplied OLED panels. It is speculated that the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+ will carry support for LTPO technology. The vanilla model may pack a 4,800mAh battery with 66W fast charging. A 4,600mAh battery may power the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+.

Since there is a week remaining for the Honor 70 series launch event, the rumor mill is expected to leak more details on its specs in the coming days. The Honor 70 lineup is expected to rival the OPPO Reno8 lineup, the Redmi Note 11T series, and the Vivo S15 lineup in China.
