Date and endorser confirmed
Honor has set the 700 series presentation event for November 23 at 14:30 local time, to be held in Wuhan. The confirmation comes directly from the company's CEO, Li Jian, through a post on Weibo in which he also announces the collaboration with endorser 鞠婧祎 (Ju Jingyi), a Chinese actress and singer. The choice confirms the rumors circulating in the previous days about the identity of the endorser.
Guan Haitao, the brand's president of marketing and global chief marketing officer, also lent further support to the event's location, writing in another post a simple reference to Wuhan and the date of November 23. The news was reported by IT之家.
Specifications previewed at the media meeting
On November 12, the day before the announcement, Honor organized a press meeting in Beijing during which the three models in the range were shown: 700 Pro, 700 and 700S. According to the company's communication, all versions carry a 9000 mAh battery, presented as the largest ever adopted in the numbered series, while still maintaining a slim profile. Preorders are already open on JD.com with a guarantee of replacement within 365 days.
On the photography front, Honor announces the debut of a 4K cinematic Live mode and a 200-megapixel main sensor across the entire line. The 700 Pro and 700 models add a 50-megapixel cinematic periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and 4K Live recording at all focal lengths. A 200-megapixel selfie system with a professional-grade variable light ring is also planned, usable also via the rear screen to shoot with the main cameras.
The secondary screen, internally called "背多纷" (an interactive AI rear screen), integrates the YOYO assistant and functions for customization, conversational companionship and proactive services. It also includes a high-precision PPG sensor for monitoring blood oxygen, heart rate and heart rate variability in about one minute, a solution the company calls an industry exclusive.
Under the hood, Honor speaks of Snapdragon chips across the entire range, with the 700 and 700 Pro models equipped with a dual flagship Snapdragon 8, alongside the proprietary Honor Phantom Engine software. The display is a 1.5K panel with 0.98 mm bezels and 3840 Hz brightness adjustment, while connectivity relies on the third-generation RF C3 chip and the MagicOS 11 operating system, with declared interoperability with the Apple ecosystem.
Positioning and price to be defined
Honor positions the three models in distinct segments: the 700 Pro as a lightweight flagship with attention to design, the 700 as a balanced proposition and the 700S as entry into the aesthetics-oriented segment. However, the price remains to be clarified, as the company has not yet communicated it and it will be disclosed only during the November 23 event. This is the figure that will determine the real competitiveness of the range, especially considering that the declared specifications place the models in a high-end segment.
