A new leak shared by tipster Panda is Bald on Weibo has surfaced details on the upcoming Honor X70 smartphone. The phone is expected to launch sometime this month and looks set to replace last year’s X60 and X60 Pro with incremental upgrades in hardware and battery tech.

According to the leak, the Honor X70 will feature a 6.79-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution. That’s a slight bump in screen size compared to the X60 Pro’s 6.78-inch AMOLED panel, though there’s no word on refresh rate or display technology in the leak. 

The phone will also carry Qualcomm’s newer Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, replacing the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 used in the X60 Pro.

A 8300mAh battery

One of the more notable changes is the battery capacity. The X70 is said to pack an 8300mAh battery, much larger than the 6600mAh unit on the previous model. The cell will support 80W wired charging.

Interestingly, the leak suggests the 512GB version of the phone will add support for wireless charging. That model will reportedly measure slightly thicker and heavier at 7.9mm and 199g, compared to 7.7mm and 193g on the standard variant.

Moreover, the device could come in white, blue, and black. The tipster didn’t reveal camera specs, RAM configurations, or pricing, though it will squarely fall in mid-range territory. 

For reference, the Honor X60 launched in October 2024, starting at 1,199 yuan, while the Pro version came in at 1,499 yuan.

Honor’s previous X60 series offered modest specs for its price. The standard model features a Dimensity 7025-Ultra chip, a 6.8-inch LCD, and a 5800mAh battery. The Pro model brought a 120Hz AMOLED panel and better charging speeds. 

The upcoming X70 seems to retain that value-focused approach. Its launch date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but with leaks surfacing and July already underway, an official announcement doesn’t seem far off.

The post Honor X70 leaks with 8300mAh cell, 80W wired and wireless charging support appeared first on Gizmochina.

This evening, Honor launched the X60 and X60 Pro in China. Both phones are designed with drop resistance in mind and are the first in the industry to obtain SGS Gold Label five-star reliability certification. However, there’s much more to discuss than just drop resistance. So, let’s take a closer look.

Honor X60/ X60 Pro specifications:

The standard model is built around a 6.8″ FHD+ (2412×1080) TFT LCD display that reaches a peak brightness of 850 nits under direct sunlight.

In comparison, the Pro model packs a 6.78″ AMOLED display that offers a higher 1.5K (2700×1224) resolution and supports a peak brightness of up to 3000 nits. Both devices support a 120Hz refresh rate.

Both the standard and Pro models feature a sleek design, measuring 7.88mm and 7.98mm in thickness, and weighing 189g and 188g, respectively.

The Honor X60 comes in three different color options: Mint Green, White, and Black, while the Pro model comes in an additional orange color variant.

Under the hood, the Honor X60 runs on the 6nm-based Dimensity 7025 Ultra, while the X60 Pro packs the 4nm-based Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip.

Despite the slick form factor, both the devices pack large batteries. The Honor X60 Pro packs a massive 6600mAh battery and supports 66W fast charging. In comparison, the X60 still packs a reasonably large 5800 mAh battery and supports 35W charging.

As for the cameras, both phones pack a single 108MP main camera on the back paired with an 8MP selfie shooter.

The Pro model supports up to 4K video recording at 30FPS with the rear camera and also offers EIS for stabilization with 1080p resolution. The base model, however, keeps things simple with support for 1080P recording.

Both phones also offer an AI-powered object removal feature, which the company demonstrated in the image below.

Pricing:

Both the Honor X60 and X60 Pro come in four different configurations: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB.

The pricing for the standard model starts from CNY 1199 (roughly USD $168), while the remaining three models retail for CNY 1399 (roughly USD $196), CNY 1599 (roughly USD $224), and CNY 1799 (roughly USD $252), respectively.

The X60 Pro starts from CNY 1499 (roughly USD $210), while the remaining three models are priced at CNY 1699 (roughly USD $238), CNY 1999 (roughly USD $280), and CNY 2299 (roughly USD $322), respectively. The last one supports satellite connectivity.

The new flagship smartphone season is upon us. With the introduction of the iPhone 16 lineup, Android brands are now gearing up to debut their premium phones.

The first of which will be unveiled as early as next week from Vivo. These won’t be the only handsets arriving in the next few days.

Honor will take wraps off its latest mid-rangers. Whereas, Realme will announce yet another budget model. Finally, Infinix will bring its first-ever foldable to India.

Let’s check out all these devices one by one.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Vivo X200 Series

The Vivo X200 series will be made official in China on October 14 (Monday). The lineup will include three devices, namely Vivo X200, Vivo X200 Pro, and Vivo X200 Pro Mini.

These phones will be the first to feature MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. They will be also the first to ship with Android 15 out of the box. Unsurprisingly, they will sport Zeiss optics like their predecessors.

The three of them will come with a flat frame and a circular camera module. The Pro models will sport a new Sony LYT-818 50MP main camera. The mini will be thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro and will yet pack a larger 5,700mAh battery.

As for pricing, the X200 series is tipped to start at ¥3,999 and go all the way up to ¥6,199.

Realme P1 Speed

The Realme P1 Speed is set to launch in India on October 15 (Tuesday). It will be the third model in the P1 series after P1 and P1 Pro.

The handset will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC. The chipset will be paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Further, the device will come with a 120Hz OLED display, a 50MP main camera, and an IP65 rating. It will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 45W charging.

Honor X60 Series

The Honor X60 series will be announced in China on October 16 (Wednesday). There will be two devices, namely Honor X60 and Honor X60 Pro.

Both phones will feature an identical design. However, there will be a difference in their specs. Also, only the top-end variant of X60 Pro will support satellite-based messaging service.

The vanilla X60 will house a 5,800mAh battery with support for 35W charging. While the X60 Pro will be equipped with a much larger 6,600mAh battery and will support 66W charging.

Unfortunately, both of them will come with less powerful chips. They are said to arrive with MediaTek Dimensity 7025 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 mobile platforms.

Infinix Zero Flip

The Infinix Zero Flip will debut in India on October 17 (Thursday). For the unaware, it is the brand’s first-ever foldable phone that was unveiled globally last month.

The clamshell handset is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 SoC. It sports a 6.9-inch LTPO FHD+ 120Hz main display and a 3.64-inch cover screen.

The smartphone has a 50MP (wide) + 50MP (ultrawide) dual camera system. It draws energy from a 4,720mAh battery and supports 70W wired charging.

The product boots Android 14 and is guaranteed to receive only 2 Android updates and 3 years of security patches.

The post Upcoming Smartphones: Vivo X200, Honor X60, and More appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up to unveil its new X60 series smartphones next week, promising higher-end offerings than its previous X60i model. The company has been teasing features on Weibo, including a massive battery and satellite communication capabilities.

The star of the show is likely to be the “Honor Qinghai Lake” battery, boasting a capacity of 6,600mAh. This is a significant upgrade from the 5,800mAh batteries found in the X50 series. Honor claims that the X60 will offer two days of battery life on a single charge.

While the company has yet to confirm the charging speed, leaked photos suggest that at least one model will feature 35W charging. It remains unclear if the 6,600mAh battery will be available on all X60 models or just the Pro variant.

In addition to the battery, Honor has revealed that the X60 series will support satellite communication. This feature allows users to send and receive messages in areas with limited cellular coverage. This will likely be the first device in its segment to offer satellite connectivity.

As the launch date approaches, we can expect more teasers and details about the Honor X60 series. In the meantime, check out all of the features of the Honor X60 series below.

Honor X60 specs (expected)

A recent report has disclosed nearly all the details about the Honor X60. The device is expected to come with a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that offers FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Dimensity 7025 chip, featuring 12 GB of RAM and an additional 12 GB of virtual RAM, along with 256 GB of storage and a 5,800mAh battery that supports 35W fast charging. On the camera front, it will sport a 108-megapixel primary camera on the back and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The device will operate on MagicOS 8 based on Android 14.

The post Honor X60 Series confirmed to offer Satellite Communication & a massive battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor X60 series is officially confirmed to launch on October 16, 2024. Now the company has revealed the complete design of the much-anticipated device in the latest teaser. The company has already confirmed that this phone supports satellite connectivity.

A closer inspection of the image reveals slightly slimmer top and side bezels. A previously leaked hands-on image reveals a similar chin to the Honor X50. However, it can also be an early prototype that does not carry the final design. So we cannot comment on the thickness of the chin yet.

Moving on, the official image shows a similarly curved display, middle frame, and back plate. The three holes on the top of the frame likely indicate a secondary speaker, while the absence of antenna lines suggests that the frame is still made of plastic.

Honor X60 offers the ‘Smart Capsule’ feature

However, the pill-shaped design on the top of the display suggests a software feature similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island. The feature will likely be called ‘Smart Capsule’, which is already available in the Honor X60i that was launched in July this year. Significant in context, reports about vivo’s upcoming OriginOS 5 skin also hint at a more refined visual feature based on Apple’s concept.

The Honor X60 reportedly comes with a higher drop resistance than its predecessor while also focusing on battery life. Although the teaser doesn’t reveal the exact battery capacity, previous rumors suggest it could pack a 5800mAh battery with support for 35W charging.

Honor X60 series reportedly includes a total of three models – Honor X60, X60 Pro, and X60 GT. The latter two could include a faster 66W charging support.

In terms of performance, Honor X60 packs the Dimensity 7025 chipset, which includes 2×2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. Referring to the Honor X50 series, the X60 Pro and X60 GT will likely include more capable chipsets. For context, both the X50 Pro and GT packs the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, while the base model is powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 1.

As for the cameras, the phone includes a 108MP main sensor with an aperture of f/1.75.

The post Honor X60 design and color options are now official appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor has officially announced that the Honor X60 series will be launched at 7:30pm (local time) on Oct. 16. This series is expected to include at least three models and will feature 35W and 66W fast charging options. The phones will continue to offer dual-curved displays, high durability, and impressive battery life, with further enhancements.

Honor X60 series to ride on the success of X50 lineup

The Honor X50 series, released in July 2023, has achieved remarkable success with over 15 million units sold in less than 15 months, averaging one sale every 2.7 seconds. Despite its slim 7.98mm profile, the combined height of these sold units exceeds the height of 13 Mount Everests. The X60 series will build on the X50’s strengths, likely focusing on aspects like performance and durability.

Honor X60 series: What to expect?

A recent report revealed almost everything about the Honor X60. The device is expected to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will have the Dimensity 7025 chip, 12 GB of RAM, 12 GB of virtual RAM, 256 GB of storage, and a 5,800mAh battery with 35W fast charging support. The device will feature a 108-megapixel primary camera on the back and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. It will run on MagicOS 8-based Android 14.

Last year’s Honor X50 series included multiple models, such as the Honor X50i, Honor X50i+, Honor X50, Honor X50 Pro, and Honor X50 GT. These devices were powered by the Dimensity 6020, Dimensity 6080, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (for Pro and GT models), respectively. As far as the X60 lineup is concerned, it will at least include three models, such as the Honor X60, X60 Pro, and X60 GT. However, the GT model may debut a bit later this year.

The post Honor X60 series set to launch on October 16 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor introduced the X50 smartphone in July last year. More than a year later, the company seems finally ready to launch its successor, the Honor X60. A recent leak has now revealed the front design and key specifications of the upcoming phone.

The leak, shared by a Weibo user, includes an image of the Honor X60’s About phone page. Here, we can see the phone with a flat screen, unlike the curved display of its predecessor. The punch-hole cutout on the front also seems a bit bigger this time around. 

Honor X60 Specifications

As for the specifications, the Honor X60 features a 6.8-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset, while its predecessor used the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. 

Both chipsets use a combination of Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55 CPU cores. The Dimensity 7025 features 2×2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, while the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 has 4×2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 and 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. 

On paper, the Snapdragon should perform slightly better and should also be more efficient due to its 4nm manufacturing process, compared to the 6nm process on the Dimensity 7025. 

The device ships with 12GB of RAM (expandable virtually up to 12GB) and 256GB of internal storage. On the software side, it runs MagicOS 8, based on Android 14. 

For the camera, the “About phone” page only lists a 108MP main rear lens with an f/1.75 aperture, but there’s no information about the additional lenses. On the front, it has an 8MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture.

All this is kept on by a hefty 5800mAh battery that will be refueled by a 35W charger. The battery and charging speed are the same as the Honor X50, so you can expect a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

Despite the large battery, the phone is still quite compact and lightweight. It measures 8mm thick and weighs just 189 grams.

The post Honor X60 design, display, camera, processor, and battery details revealed in new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up to launch a new smartphone model, codenamed BRC-AN00, as evidenced by its recent 3C certification. The device is expected to be part of the Honor X60 series, succeeding the popular X50 model.

The power adapter supports a maximum output of 35W

The 3C certification reveals that the accompanying power adapter, models HN-110320C00 and HN-110320C01, supports a maximum output of 35W. While specific details about the BRC-AN00 remain limited, it is anticipated to offer mid-range specifications, building upon the success of its predecessor, the Honor X50.

The Honor X50 featured a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, a 6.78-inch curved display with high refresh rate, and a distinctive circular camera module. It remains to be seen how the X60 series will evolve in terms of design, performance, and camera capabilities.

As more information becomes available, a clearer picture of the Honor X60 series will emerge.

The post New Midrange Honor Smartphone Passes 3C Certification, Expected to be Honor X60 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor recently launched the Honor 200 series smartphones globally. Rumor has it that the company is also working on a new Flip phone, and now the Honor X60 series has joined the list of rumored devices.

A new Honor smartphone with model number ALT-AN00 appeared on China’s 3C certification today. Although the listing doesn’t reveal the phone’s moniker, tipster WhyLab on Weibo claims it is the Honor X60 smartphone.

According to the 3C certification, the smartphone will support 35W fast charging (11V at 3.2A), the same speed as the 2023 Honor X50 series.

Aside from the charging speed, the listing doesn’t reveal any more details. However, a report earlier this week revealed some information about the Honor X60 series. 

The smartphones are expected to feature a quad-curved display, a large battery, and “super” drop resistance. Given Honor’s history of releasing devices with anti-drop features, this isn’t entirely surprising.

These are the details we have on the Honor X60 series so far. We’ll keep you updated on any new developments.

Looking back at the 2023 Honor X50 series, both the X50 and X50 Pro have a 6.78-inch Full HD+ display with a resolution of 1220 x 2652 pixels. 

The Pro variant was powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, while the standard X50 used the mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. Both are fueled by a 5800 mAh battery with 35W fast charging. 

The camera setup included a dual rear camera system with a primary 108MP sensor and a secondary 2MP sensor, as well as an 8MP front-facing camera.

Honor is gearing up to unveil the Honor 200 series in China soon. But it appears that this isn’t the only smartphone lineup in the plans. A fresh leak has claimed that the Honor X60 series is also in the works, with some of its features being revealed. So let’s have a look.

Honor X60 Series Tipped

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the information of Weibo. As the name suggest, the X60 series is the successor to the X50 lineup. The latter included models like the X50, X50i, X50i+, X50 Pro, and X50 GT. In other words, there are likely multiple variants of the Honor X60 as well. The tipster also shared some key design details of the upcoming devices.

Reportedly, the smartphone will feature a quad curved display on the front. This is usually present in high-end devices, so the X60 would likely continue to be positioned as an affordable flagship phone, like its predecessor. Furthermore, Digital Chat Station claimed that the Honor X60 series will be powered by a large battery pack and offer “super” drop resistance. The brand has released devices with anti-drop features in the recent past, so this isn’t something new.

Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment as DCS didn’t share any finer details like its specs, pricing, or launch date. But we can expect more details to surface soon via leaks and teasers. So stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when more information is available regarding this matter.
