Honor 700 series launch set for Nov 23 as specs leak

Honor has set a China launch for the new Honor 700 series on November 23 at 2:30 PM local time and has named singer and actress Ju Jingyi as the lineup's brand ambassador.

Shortly after the announcement, all three handsets turned up in China Telecom's product library, which lists most of their specifications. The listing shows a shared 6.57-inch display (resolution not listed, though past leaks have pointed to "1.5K"), a 50MP front camera, a 9,000 mAh battery and MagicOS 11 based on Android 17. An earlier certification also indicated 80W wired charging. The phones measure 156.0x74.7x7.96mm and will be offered in four colors: Blue Tone, Clear Sky, Pink Mist and Cold White.

Model breakdown

The Honor 700 Pro is reported to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a detail that was echoed by a recent Geekbench run. Storage and memory options listed for the Pro are 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB and 16GB/512GB. Honor's standard 700 is shown with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and adds a 16GB/256GB configuration alongside other options.

Both the Honor 700 Pro and the Honor 700 are listed with a 200MP main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto that offers 3.5x optical zoom, and a 12MP third camera, likely an ultrawide. The two models are said to support a telephoto extender accessory and have weights of 213g and 211g, respectively.

The Honor 700S is the most affordable model in the line. China Telecom's entry shows it running a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage, and a weight of 208g. The 700S drops the periscope module, leaving a 200MP main camera and a 12MP secondary shooter.

All three handsets retain Honor's rear display embedded in the camera plateau. Pricing will be announced at Honor's November 23 event.
