Honor X70 is official with mammoth 8,300mAh battery
The Honor X70 is official, and it houses an impressive 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery pack. Charging is a bit complex - all units get 80W wired charging, but if you opt for the 512GB model, the phone will also support 80W wireless charging. The phone comes in four colors: Phantom Night Black, Bamboo Green, Cinnabar Red, and Moon Shadow White, and in four configurations: 8/128GB, 8/256GB, 12/256GB, and 12/512GB. At the front of the X70 is a 6.79-inch 1200x2640px 120Hz AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. Inside, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0. There's a single 50MP f/1.9 wide-angle camera with PDAF and OIS at the back. Upfront is an 8MP f/2.0 selfie shooter. The Honor X700 is well-protected. It covers IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water standards, and has been drop-tested to 2.5 meters. The tempered glass display is placed on a two-piece damping layer, which then sits on a shock-absorbing frame, and finally, a honeycomb bracket. Honor also assures that the X70 can withstand water at up to 85 ℃, a 4-hour continuous salt spray, and is waterproof up to 6 meters. The display can be used in heavy rain and with gloves, and you can summon the phone's YoYo AI assistant to discharge dust and water from the phone. The Honor X70 is now on pre-order and will ship from July 18. Prices are as follows: 8/128GB CNY 1,399 ~€167 ~INR 16,700 8/256GB CNY 1,599 ~€190 ~INR 19,000 12/256GB CNY 1,799 ~€215 ~INR 21,500 12/512GB CNY 1,999 ~€238 ~INR 24,000

Honor X70 vs. excavator and fire hose
Honor is unveiling the X70 on July 15, and the brand has ramped up its teaser campaign for the phone now that it's mere hours away from becoming official. Have you ever wondered who'd win a confrontation between a yet-unannounced smartphone and a Sany SY205C-S excavator? Well, the video below will give you the answer. Spoiler alert: the phone is affixed to one of the excavator's bucket's teeth, and then the excavator does some good 'ol excavating, with the phone over there. At the end, after being exposed to a whole lot of dirt, it survives unscathed, as you'd expect. In the second part of the video, the phone is hit by the excavator's bucket, which makes it fly in the air for a while until it falls to the ground. Naturally, it's fine. And finally (and most insanely), it's 'pressed' by the excavator's bucket, once again making it through with no issues. Next up, a fire hose. This one's more straightforward - the fire hose shoots water directly at the phone, and it's fine thanks to its IP69 and IP69K water resistance ratings, even though other items aren't. The Honor X70 will have a record-breaking (for a mainstream smartphone) 8,300 mAh battery but will somehow still be less than 8mm thick and weigh less than 200g. It's going to boast a 6.79-inch 1200x2640 OLED screen, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC at the helm, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and MagicOS 9 out of the box.
