Honor 700 Series Gets November 23 Launch Date as Carrier Listing Reveals Nearly Every Spec

Honor has finally put a date on the Honor 700 series. The Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S will be unveiled in China on November 23 at 2:30 PM local time, with the launch event set for Wuhan. Honor CEO Li Jian confirmed the new date on November 13, and the company also named singer and actress Ju Jingyi as the lineup's brand ambassador.

The timing is a change of plan. Honor had earlier pointed to a November 13 unveiling before pushing the event back by ten days. The company has not explained the delay, and nothing in the new announcement suggests the phones themselves have changed. Reservations for all three models remain open in China, including on JD.com.

What makes this more than a date announcement is what arrived alongside it. All three handsets have appeared in China Telecom's product library, and the carrier listing lays out most of their specifications — from the shared 9,000mAh battery down to the chipset in each model. Prices are still under wraps and will only be announced at the event.

What all three phones share

The listing shows the three models built on the same foundation. Each one gets a 6.57-inch display, a 50MP front camera, a 9,000mAh battery and MagicOS 11 based on Android 17. An earlier certification had already revealed 80W wired charging for all three. They measure 156.0 x 74.7 x 7.96mm, and buyers will get four colour options: Blue Tone, Clear Sky, Pink Mist and Cold White.

The screen resolution is the one detail the listing does not give. Earlier leaks have pointed to a 1.5K panel, but that remains unconfirmed until Honor publishes its own spec sheet. The other signature feature is confirmed, though: all three phones carry Honor's rear display inside the camera plateau, a small second screen that can show the time and, according to Honor, take a heart rate and blood oxygen reading with a single tap.

Honor 700 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and the full camera set

The Honor 700 Pro sits at the top of the range with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a result that matches its recent Geekbench appearance. It comes in 12GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB with 512GB, and a top 16GB with 512GB configuration, and it weighs 213g.

The camera setup is the most complete in the lineup. The Pro pairs a 200MP main camera with a 50MP periscope telephoto offering 3.5x optical zoom and a 12MP third camera, which the listing suggests is an ultrawide. It will also support a clip-on telephoto extender accessory, identified in reports as the 88g G200.

Honor 700: nearly the same phone, a different chip

The standard Honor 700 is closer to the Pro than the name suggests. It keeps the same 200MP main camera, the same 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x zoom and the same 12MP third camera, along with support for the telephoto extender accessory. The differences are under the hood and on the scales: the vanilla model runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead of the flagship chip, adds a 16GB RAM with 256GB storage option to the Pro's configurations, and weighs slightly less at 211g.

Honor 700S: the affordable one drops the periscope

The Honor 700S is the most affordable of the three, and its spec sheet shows where Honor made the cuts. It runs on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage, and at 208g it is the lightest of the trio. It is also the only model without the periscope camera, leaving a 200MP main camera and a 12MP secondary shooter. It keeps the rear display, the 9,000mAh battery and the 80W charging, so the features that define the series are intact.

What is still unconfirmed

For all the detail in the carrier listing, some of it still needs Honor's own confirmation. The screen resolution, the exact role of the 12MP third camera and the precise chipset in each model are listed by the carrier, not announced by Honor, and the company has confirmed Snapdragon 8-series chips for the 700 and 700 Pro without naming each one individually. The Geekbench listing backs the Pro's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, as Innopark IT reported earlier, but the full official spec sheet and pricing arrive only at the November 23 event.

That event is the one to watch. Until then, the Honor 700 series looks like a lineup built around two ideas: a very large battery and a camera system that leans hard on its 200MP sensor and rear display. Whether the prices match that ambition will be clear on November 23.
