On April 29, data from the Canalys agency showed that the performance of the smartphone market in mainland China continued to lag behind the global market in the first quarter of 2022, with only 75.6 million units shipped, down 18% year-on-year and 13% month-on-month.
However, under the above background, there is a mobile phone brand that has performed extremely well. Needless to say, you can guess this brand. According to the data of Canalys, Honor has shipped 15 million units and an astonishing growth of 205%. The rate reached the top for the first time.
Canalys emphasized that although most leading manufacturers have suspended the rhythm of new product releases in the first quarter, Honor still managed to achieve a 6% month-on-month growth in the first quarter. Among them, the Honor 60 series contributed to the stable performance of the brand.
The Honor 60 series is the first product of the iterative upgrade of the Honor digital series. This mobile phone product line with a long history in the smartphone market, after going through an independent “pain period”, its positioning is also a “Nirvana rebirth” attitude. Quietly changed, also starting from the Honor 60 series, the Honor digital series was officially upgraded from one generation a year to two generations a year.
Therefore, half a year after the release of the Honor 60 series, the Honor 70 series also arrived as scheduled. With a clearer positioning, the Honor 70 series further emphasizes the most significant aesthetic genes of the Honor digital series, and has made bold “comprehensive advancements” in the fields of performance, imaging, and fast charging.
IT House got the Honor 70 Pro (12+256 version), and now it is the first time to offer the evaluation experience.
Part 1: Appearance Design
Compared with the previous-generation Honor 60 Pro, this time the Honor 70 Pro also continues the light, thin and high-value design level, but the changes in details are quite obvious.
For example, in the process design of the rear image module and the rear shell, the Honor 70 Pro continues the classic dual-mirror design, but the shape has changed from the previous “circle” to the current fan-shaped symmetry. The entire image module is divided into upper and lower parts. Surrounded by a “golden ring”, the changes in these details bring a “familiar freshness”.
In terms of rear shell technology, the Honor 70 series provides bright black, black jade green, streamer crystal (Honor 70, Honor 70 Pro) and misty sand (Honor 70 Pro, Honor 70 Pro+), as well as the unique Icelandic fantasy of the Honor 70.
IT House got the streamer crystal version, the body showed a light gold color, and also added a very unique diamond texture. The lattice texture presents a “crystal clear” beauty.
Honor 70 Pro Streamer Crystal
The Mist Sands color scheme of the Honor 70 Pro+ also adopts a similar rhombus texture design, but the back shell is superimposed with a matte texture. When the phone is flipped left and right, the rhombus texture will show two textures of light gold and aurora, which is amazing.
It is difficult to show the beauty of the Honor 70 series mobile phone under the static proofs of the lens, so if you are interested in this product, the author still recommends going offline to experience it for yourself.
Honor 70 Pro + Mist Sands
Going back to the front, the Honor 70 Pro adopts a fully symmetrical four-curved screen design with natural transitions at the four corners. The curvature on both sides is smaller than that of the Honor Magic4 Pro, which is normal, and the upper and lower ends of the screen are slightly curved.
A punch hole is used in the center of the screen, and the front camera is a 50-megapixel AI super-sensing camera (f / 2.4 aperture).
In terms of perception, the forehead and chin are basically “equally narrow”.
This OLED screen continues the fine tradition of high-frequency PWM dimming of Honor mobile phones, and isThe whole system comes standard with 1920Hz high frequency PWM dimming. In the evaluation article of Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition, IT Home has talked about the advantages of high-frequency PWM dimming.
In short, when the PWM frequency is higher than 1250Hz, the stroboscopic perception of the human eye will be significantly reduced. Compared with the low-frequency PWM dimming, the high-frequency PWM dimming screen can significantly reduce the stress on the eyes, especially in dim environments. Similarly, compared with DC-like dimming, high-frequency PWM dimming also solves the problems of color cast and uneven brightness at low brightness.
In addition to high-frequency PWM dimming, the entire Honor 70 series comes standard with 120Hz high refresh rate. Among them, Honor 70 Pro and Honor 70 Pro+ support four refresh rate modes: Smart / 120Hz / 90Hz / 60Hz, and it is excusable not to support LTPO. After all, LTPO is usually exclusive to top flagships.
In terms of parameters, this screen has a size of 6.78 inches, 2652 * 1200 pixel resolution, supports 1.07 billion color display, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, supports 10,000-level brightness adjustment, supports video quality enhancement, video clarity enhancement, And HDR Vivid certified.
Overall, this is a pretty decent screen.The main core advantage is the rare high-frequency PWM dimming of the same levelIf you are quite sensitive to OLED “strobe”, then this screen of Honor 70 Pro can at least let you use it with confidence.
Finally, in terms of body size and weight, the dimensions of the Honor 70 Pro are 163.9mm (length) × 74.6mm (width) × 8.18mm, and the weight is 192g. The front and back curved surfaces are designed to give the Honor 70 Pro a grip. Still pretty good.
but,Still using the plastic middle frame, although at least it can’t be discerned in terms of appearance, but the difference in feel when touched is still there. This is a pity.
In terms of detailed configuration, the Honor 70 Pro supports NFC, adopts stereo dual speakers, and adopts a full-filling design on the hardware, that is, the lower speaker module adopts a full-cavity filling design and a large-amplitude diaphragm, and there are special speaker openings on the top. . The official said that compared with the previous generation Honor 60 Pro, the amplitude is increased by 25%, and the bass sound pressure is increased by 33%.
The Honor 70 Pro is also equipped with a linear motor to support a simulated mechanical keyboard.
Accessories include 100W A-port charging head, 6A data cable, Qingshui phone case, etc.:
Part II: Video Experience
In terms of dynamic image experience, the Honor digital series has always been imaginative and creative. For example, the Honor 50 series brings a multi-mirror video shooting mode, and the Honor 60 series brings Vlog gesture recognition. This time, the Honor 70 series brings Here comes the pioneering Vlog protagonist mode, which further satisfies young users’ “expressive desire” in video.
Let’s take a brief look at the imaging hardware of the Honor 70 Pro.
Main camera: The first 54 million IMX800 outsole main camera, 1/1.49 inches, four-in-one 2.0μm equivalent pixel size, (f / 1.9 aperture);
Ultra-wide-angle: 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle macro camera (f / 2.2 aperture), four-in-one 1.4µm equivalent pixel size, 122°;
Telephoto: 8-megapixel 3x optical zoom camera (f / 2.4 aperture), supports OIS+EIS dual image stabilization.
The IMX800 sensor is not only launched by the Honor 70 series, but also comes standard with the entire series. It is also supported by the Honor Image Engine computing imaging platform and RAW domain algorithm. The Honor 70 Pro also supports full-focus HDR.
In terms of parameters alone, the bottom of IMX800 is flagship level, and everyone knows the advantages brought by the outsole, including stronger light-capturing ability, stronger dynamic range performance, and night scene ability.
Thanks to the advantage of the outsole, the Honor 70 Pro also brings a “high dynamic video” shooting mode and so on.
It’s amazing that,Honor even equipped the 8 million telephoto with OIS+EIS dual image stabilization(The main camera does not have the treatment), in this case, if you equip the main camera with one, the experience value will be at least 10 points.
Let’s first take a look at the Vlog protagonist mode of the Honor 70 series.
Simply understand the Vlog protagonist mode, that is, when the video is shot, it will use the Al portrait re-recognition technology and portrait timing tracking technology to add an additional portrait focus centering video.
One shot will generate two independent videos of the panoramic image and the protagonist image.
As shown in the figure above, we turn on the video recording, and then turn on the protagonist mode switch on the left. The character in the lens will appear with a white portrait tracking frame. Click the tracking frame, and a small screen will appear in the viewfinder frame, which means the function is turned on.

In the process of shooting in Vlog protagonist mode, the lens will intelligently focus on the portrait and center the composition. At the same time, it supports arbitrary switching of the protagonist, vertical and horizontal shooting, and dual HD + dual beauty + dual image stabilization.
The “protagonist mode” shooting function added to the Honor 70 series has a wide range of application scenarios.For example, girlfriends dance street dance, elders’ square dance, and children’s June 1st performanceWhen we record these beautiful memories through the lens of Honor 70 Pro, click the shutter button, and Honor 70 Pro will shoot two sets of videos at the same time, one is used to watch the panorama, and the other is used to watch the protagonist’s “personal show”, A double record, quite practical.
However, the use of “protagonist mode” still has a certain learning cost at the beginning. It is best to add a demo to make it easy for users to get started.
Static proof experience
Cloudy and foggy shooting environment, the camera is set by default (AI is turned on)
The following group photos were taken in the afternoon, close to the evening, when the sky was getting late, and outside of May, the Qingdao coastal route was always filled with fog.
Main photo sample
The first impression of the Honor 70 Pro main camera sample is quite pleasing, the picture is transparent, and the brightness is slightly increased (a little higher than what the naked eye can see). The colors of the buildings, sky, and sea water captured are very comfortable, and the colors and exposure are normal, and there is basically nothing wrong with them.
Main camera, indoor (dim lighting)
The performance of the ultra-wide-angle is also good. The exposure is not as “foot” as the main camera (in fact, the overall look and feel of the ultra-wide-angle is more inclined to what the human eye can see). The advantage of 50 million pixels makes it still have a good resolution performance after the center is enlarged.
Ultra wide angle
However, in some scenes, the white balance of the ultra-wide angle tends to be warmer, such as the sky below, although there are certain reasons for the haze, but the sky is obviously redder.
The Honor 70 Pro is rarely equipped with a 3X telephoto. Although the resolution is average, it has OIS+EIS dual anti-shake after all (that is not a telephoto), and the filming rate is still quite high.
3X
In the night environment, the advantages of the Honor 70 Pro outsole are highlighted again.
Thanks to the outsole and the HONOR Image Engine computational imaging technology, the Honor 70 Pro can still provide better dynamic range performance in some environments with poor lighting.
As shown in the picture below, the photo was taken on the side of the street. At this time, the surrounding light sources are complicated. In addition to the dim street lights a few meters behind, there is also the indoor light of the hotel on one side.
The overall brightness of the samples taken by the Honor 70 Pro is much higher than that seen by the naked eye, and the focus point magnification still has a good resolution.
Let’s choose another dark light environment, as shown in the figure below, even in severe haze days, the picture is still quite transparent, the sky is not much noise, and the highlights can be suppressed. In general, the Honor 70 Pro main camera The night scene performance is still the flagship level.

Part 3: Performance Experience
In the core performance part, the Honor 70 Pro is equipped with the Dimensity 8000 processor, while the Honor 70 Pro+ is equipped with the Dimensity 9000, and the performance part is directly upgraded to the flagship level.
Dimensity 8000 is a very well-received chip at the moment, and it takes into account performance, power consumption, heat dissipation, and is a rare good chip.
It is built with TSMC’s 5nm process technology, 4+4 octa-core CPU architecture design, including 4 Arm Cortex-A78 cores with a main frequency of 2.75GHz and 4 A55s with a main frequency of 2.0GHz. The GPU part adopts Arm Mali-G610 six-core GPU.
Other configuration aspects include UFS3.1 storage and OS Turbo X and GPU Turbo X tuning technologies that are personally operated by the original Honor Turbo team.
In addition, the Honor 70 Pro (including the Honor 70 Pro+) also launched the Honor mobile game GPU super rendering technology. The official said that the power consumption of the same scene of a heavy-load game is reduced by 5%, and the temperature is reduced by 1°C.
Let’s take a look at how the Honor 70 Pro tunes this Dimensity 8000 directly through the “Yuan Shen” game (with the mobile phone performance mode turned on).
As shown in the picture above, select the highest quality “Genshin Impact” and start a 30-minute test, running maps in the wild + fighting monsters, of which the battle scene accounts for about one-third of the total game time.
The actual measurement results show that in the 30-minute high-intensity “Genshin Impact” game,The Honor 70 Pro achieved an average FPS score of 56.3, which is also the best performance of “Genshin Impact” among the Dimensity 8000 mobile phones tested by the author.and this result is even better than some conservative Snapdragon 8Gen1 mobile phones.
In addition, in the 30-minute Genshin Impact game,Honor 70 Pro also does not appear frame lock phenomenonthis performance is also quite surprising.
In terms of core adjustment, the Honor 70 Pro is also in a relatively “fighting” adjustment style, and one of the four cores is quite active.
Finally, let’s take a look at the power consumption. In the Genshin Impact game,The power consumption of Honor 70 Pro is about 5.7WFPower (frame power consumption) is 101.7mW, which is also the normal level of Dimensity 8000.
In terms of fuselage temperature, the maximum temperature of the front and back is about 44°C. Of course, the heat sensation must exist, mainly concentrated in the upper part of the fuselage. But considering this frame rate performance, the Honor 70 Pro can really be described as excellent (after all, the temperature of some products has gone up and the frame rate has been locked).
According to the actual measurement of Yuanshen game,The Honor 70 Pro’s tuning of the Dimensity 8000 is really excellentGPU Turbo X is really not a gimmick.
In the same test environment, even under the condition that the “scene details” option in the “Genshin Impact” game is not “extremely high”, the average frame rate of the Dimensity 8000 mobile phone tested by the author is basically about 50fps, and the Honor 70 Pro is as high as 56fps. The average frame of , is enough to illustrate the problem.
Finally, let’s take a look at the fast charging performance of the Honor 70 Pro. The Honor 70 Pro is equipped with a 100W super fast charging (4500mAh), and it is a single-cell dual-circuit solution. The IT home measured it at 3% (will be shut down in 30 seconds) In the state of power, the Honor 70 Pro can be charged to more than 30% in 10 minutes, and can be charged to about 60% in 15 minutes. It only takes 30 minutes to fully charge, and it takes about 38 minutes to fully charge.
It is worth mentioning that during the charging process, the Honor 70 Pro body did not heat up.
Summarize:
If the Honor 60 series is a product that focuses on image creativity, then the Honor 70 series is a product that has developed in an all-round way in addition to inheriting this image creativity.
In the video part, the first IMX800 outsole and Vlog protagonist mode make the Honor 70 Pro video experience outstanding.
In terms of performance, the Dimensity 8000 trained by the Honor Turbo team further amplifies the advantages of this chip in terms of performance and power consumption. The performance of games such as “Genshin Impact” can even compete with the current flagship machine.
As for fast charging and system experience, the Honor 70 Pro is basically the flagship level.
In general, in the 3K gear, if you want a product with outstanding appearance, outstanding imaging capabilities, and balanced experience in all aspects, the Honor 70 Pro is a good choice.
