Initially, the Honor 17 was first introduced in China back in May, despite the fact that it has three models within the Honor 70 Series, including Pro and Pro+ variants, but only the base model is being offered in Malaysia at this time.

The Honor 70 is a mid-range smartphone that features a 6.67-inch OLED display with native Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and curved edges. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ CPU.

In terms of photography, the Honor 70’s primary camera is equipped with a 54MP Sony IMX800 sensor and f/1.9 lens. In addition, the rear camera module had a 2MP f/2.4 depth camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 lens that could be used for macro photography at a distance as near as 2.5cm. On the front, the smartphone has a 32MP f/2.4 punch-hole camera positioned in the top-center of the screen for selfies and video calls. 

Other notable features include a 4800mAh battery that reportedly provides an entire day of energy life for the phone. The Honor 70 comes with a 66W SuperCharge charger that allows the phone to recover 60% of its battery capacity in just 20 minutes. The phone is available in three colourways – Crystal Silver, Emerald Green, and Midnight Black. 

In addition to the smartphone, Honor unveils the mid-range Pad 8 tablet, which features a 12-inch IPS display with 2000 x 1200 pixel resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 350 nits of maximum brightness. In addition, it includes eight speakers with DTS:X Ultra compatibility and a 7,250 mAh battery with 22.5 quick charging and 5W reverse charging capabilities. The device’s core components include a Snapdragon 680 CPU, an Adreno 610 GPU, up to 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage.
