Back in February, a leak revealed the key details of the Honor X80 smartphone. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that a new Honor X-series phone is tentatively scheduled to launch in China in June. While the tipster has not explicitly mentioned the device’s name, it appears that it could be the Honor X80. Here’s a look at what the latest leak reveals.

Honor X80 key specifications tipped

According to the leak, the Honor X80 will feature a 6.8-inch LTPS OLED display with a flat design. The screen is expected to offer a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the device is said to pack a massive 10,000mAh+ battery with support for 90W fast charging. While Honor has already launched a couple of smartphones with 10,000mAh+ batteries, this would be the first X-series model to feature such a large battery.

The Honor X80 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 6-series chipset, which could be the recently announced Snapdragon 6 Gen 5. Similar to its predecessor, the device is also tipped to feature a shock-resistant body.

The leak further claims that the Honor X80 will be available in colour options such as Mystic Black, Moonlight White, Lightning Red, and Vibrant Orange. According to the tipster, the device could perform strongly in the Chinese market, as last year’s Honor X70 reportedly sold nearly 7 million units.

For reference, the Honor X70 featured a 6.79-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset and packed an 8,300mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. Honor also offered wireless charging on the X70’s 512GB storage variant.

Honor has officially announced that its latest smartphone, the Honor X70, dominated China’s smartphone sales charts for three consecutive days across all brands and models. The announcement highlights both the strong consumer demand and the phone’s appeal, which combines an ultra-rugged design with a massive battery.

Honor X70 tops sales charts across all platforms and price segments

According to the brand, the Honor X70 achieved the number one sales rank across all price segments and platforms, including JD.com and Tmall for three days since the day it went on sale. The X70 was announced on July 15 in China, and it has been available for purchase from July 18.

The Honor X70 is beng called one of the brand’s most rugged smartphones ever. It survived extreme tests, including a 193-ton mining truck rolling over it and direct hits from an air rifle without suffering critical damage. This durability is credited to a newly engineered “bulletproof vest architecture” that improves internal and external structural protection by over 100 percent. It’s also the first phone to receive SGS Gold Five-Star certification for all-around drop resistance. Additionally, the X70 uses aerospace-grade non-Newtonian fluid inside the chassis to absorb shocks, making it resistant to drops from up to 2.5 meters.

The device features a large 8300mAh battery built on the third-gen Qinghai Lake battery tech and supports 80W wired and wireless charging (wireless only on top model). It has a 6.79-inch 1.5K Honor Oasis eye-protection display with peak brightness up to 6000 nits. The phone runs on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4l processor and is paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.

The X70 also includes a 50-megapixel OIS camera, IP69K-rated water and dust resistance, NFC, infrared remote, and dual stereo speakers. Starting price is 1,399 Yuan (~$193).

Smartphone batteries are getting bigger — and 2025 might just be the start. A new leak from China suggests that by 2026, some mainstream phones from the country could break past the 10,000mAh mark, pushing battery life into uncharted territory. But while Chinese brands race ahead, Samsung, Google, and Apple seem in no rush to follow — and there’s at least one big reason why. For reference, Samsung’s 2026 flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is widely rumored to stick with a 5,000mAh battery.

Over the past year, we’ve seen battery capacities climb fast. Honor grabbed headlines with the X70’s massive 8,300mAh cell — in a 7.76mm phone. That followed earlier moves like the Honor Power’s 8,000mAh battery, setting a new bar for mid-range devices. Now, other brands like OnePlus, iQOO, and Xiaomi are rumored to be eyeing 7,000mAh+ packs for flagships before the end of 2025.

On July 19, 2025, well known leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a mainstream mid-range phone with a 10,000mAh battery is in the works for the first half of 2026.

Big batteries don’t have to mean bulky phones — the Honor X70 proves it. While advancements in silicon-carbon battery tech (which improves energy density) help pack more capacity into the same space, the rumored mid-range phone also reportedly uses a redesigned internal structure. Specifically, its PCB is said to be much more compact, freeing up room for a larger battery.

This approach isn’t entirely new — OnePlus teased a similar concept for the 13T, showing how a tighter PCB layout can create space for bigger batteries. Still, making an already densely packed board even more compact takes serious R&D. It’ll be interesting to see when Samsung, Apple, or Google finally follows suit.

It’s still unclear which Chinese brand will make the first move to 10,000mAh, but Honor is an obvious contender given their recent breakthrough in this aspect. 2026 might be the year the numbers finally hit five digits.

Under the hood, the latest budget phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, which is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Honor has even managed to pack a ginormous 8,300mAh cell in this slim body. There is even support for 80W wired fast charging and 80W wireless fast charging (exclusive to the 512GB model). For optics, the rear has a 50MP (Main, OIS, f/1.88) + 8MP (Ultra Wide, f/2.0), while the front houses an 8MP selfie shooter. Other notable features include an infrared sensor, an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, NFC, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3.

Pricing and Availability

Honor announced the X70 in multiple color options, namely Midnight Black, Bamboo Green, Moon White, and Cinnabar Red. These devices are also available in multiple storage configurations, so here are all the details:

• 8GB + 128GB – 1399 yuan

The post Honor X70 live shots, key specifications leaked ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor appears to be gearing up for a new mid-range smartphone launch next month. According to a recent leak, the upcoming device, likely to be named the Honor X70, is expected to debut in July. 

The tip comes from the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, who also revealed a few technical and design details ahead of the official announcement.

Honor X70 Specifications

Internally codenamed “Martin,” the Honor X70 will reportedly feature a 6.79-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. This is an upgrade over the LCD on the Honor X60. 

Under the hood, the X70 is tipped to run on a low-power chipset, though DCS didn’t name a specific chip. As a reference, its predecessor utilizes a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra chipset. 

Another vague piece of detail is battery capacity. Tipster Digital Chat Station notes the phone will carry a “big battery,” without naming an exact capacity. 

Interestingly, there’s also a mention of the Honor Power smartphone, which packs an 8,000mAh cell, along with a broader hint that batteries in the 8xxxmAh range are “starting to increase in quantity”. So it could be that the Honor X70 might just follow suit with something close to an 8,000mAh unit.

Design-wise, the X70 is expected to maintain a slim and lightweight build, which is in line with the company’s design philosophy for its X-series. However, subtle design changes may differentiate it slightly from earlier iterations. In terms of aesthetics, the device could be available in three color options: Moon Shadow White, Bamboo Blue, and Phantom Night Black.

No specific launch date has been confirmed yet, but the X70 is reportedly scheduled for release sometime in July. As always, these early leaks should be treated cautiously until Honor makes an official announcement.
