Honor’s next X-series phone is officially on the calendar, and it’s making headlines for sheer stamina. The brand has confirmed that the upcoming Honor X70 will house a colossal 8,300 mAh “Qinghai Lake” silicon-carbon battery—the largest ever fitted to a mainstream smartphone, promising multi-day endurance on a single charge.
Despite that supersized cell, Honor says the handset will stay under 8 mm thick and below 200 g, maintaining everyday pocketability. To refill that battery quickly, the X70 supports 80 W wired and 80 W wireless fast charging, a rare combination even in flagship territory.
The launch event is set for 15 July at 7 p.m. (China), and pre-reservations are already live in the brand’s online store. Early teasers show the phone in black, green, red and white with a circular rear-camera island that echoes recent Honor designs.
Leaked spec sheets hint at a 6.79-inch flat OLED display (120 Hz, 1.5 K resolution), a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, 12 GB RAM and 256/512 GB storage. Imaging is expected to centre on a 50 MP main camera with OIS alongside an 8 MP selfie shooter. If accurate, those numbers would give the X70 credible mid-range muscle to match its battery bragging rights.
Honor has a track record of adjusting specs for global releases, so finer details—and international availability—remain to be seen. Still, the X70 is already shaping up as a handset built for travellers, gamers and anyone tired of living next to a wall socket. Final pricing and complete specifications will drop once the curtain lifts next week.
