Hey, what’s up? Sami here.
Today we are going to take a quick look at the Honor 70 series.
Just for the record, as the Honor shop I went to didn’t have a Honor 70 with the newest firmware
so I was unable to fully experience their cool Solo Cut Mode Vlog camera feature.
For what the hell is that, I will talk about it later.
Anyway, I think that feature is one of the biggest upgrades from its predecessor.
But gladly my long-time partner Eva sent me her Honor 70 Pro review video,
which includes that.
Huge thanks to her and please subscribe to her channel if you haven’t.
Starting with the Honor 70, one significant design difference from the 70 Pro is the camera module.
The two rings are separated!
For the specs, it includes a 54MP main, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor.
Moving to the front, it features a 6.67-inch full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, it runs on Android 12-based Magic UI 6.1
and the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus.
My first impression is this is a really lightweight and thin 5G phone.
Should be very comfortable to hold all day long.
Moving to the Honor 70 Pro, this is the main thing I’m going to talk about today.
First about the color.
One of the stylish colors is the Crystal Silver, which they adopted this diamond pattern design,
if we take a closer look, they even embedded numerous particles inside,
just like a sky of stars.
Feels shining and fashionable.
Do you like this color or prefer more “mature” colors like the Midnight Black,
Emerald Green,
or Frosted Gold?
Let me know in the comments section.
Regarding the camera specs, just like the vanilla version, it sports a 54MP main, that’s
the newest Sony flagship 1/1.49-inch IMX800 camera sensor.
A 50MP 122° Ultra-Wide camera that also doubles as a Macro Camera.
Unlike the Honor 70, the Pro and Pro+ come with an 8MP Telephoto Camera,
supporting 3x optical zoom and up to 30x digital zoom.
We took some samples.
Overall, we feel the photos have an accurate color reproduction,
look detailed and comfortable.
The selfie camera is 50MP and has a wide 100° field of view.
It offers a decent bokeh effect.
More photo samples were taken by Eva, check them out.
Finally move to the most important upgrade, the Solo Cut Mode Vlog feature I’ve mentioned before.
What does that mean is it produces portrait vlogs that tracking a specific person
in a group video and two high-definition videos simultaneously.
In other words, it gives you two videos at one time.
One is normal, whilst the other is the one that tracks the person you selected.
To our surprise, the latter always keeps you in the center of the picture.
You can switch the tracking to the other person in a group video.
The preview window is free to adjust the size.
Just imagine you can record a portrait video and a landscape video at the same time,
that would be so efficient.
One interesting thing we found was when Eva left the frame, the camera said
“Lost the object and would stop tracking after 5s.”
While the main camera kept recording.
Once Eva returned to the camera frame, it automatically detected the object
and started tracking recording.
Wow, one time offers two angle videos, perfect for poor video creators like me,
because I can’t afford another cameraman.
Anyway, do you think this is a gimmick or actually practical?
For other camera features like multi-video recording, gesture controls, it all has,
just like its predecessor the Honor 60.
Regarding other specs, the Honor 70 Pro and Pro+ come with a 10-bit 120Hz refresh rate
6.78” OLED display.
The battery is 4,500mAh and the charger is 100w.
While for the processor, the 70 Pro sports the Dimensity 8000, whilst the 70 Pro+ got
the Dimensity 9000, that’s the only difference between the two phones.
In case you want to know the Antutu Benchmark of the Pro+, here you go.
It’s quite a surprise, isn’t it?
Of course, we tried some games and in our opinion, it has all the performance a decent
2022 mid-to-high-end 5G phone should have, smooth and playable.
Alright, that’s the hands-on of the Honor 70 series.
What do you think?
With that cool Solo Cut Mode camera feature, do you think this is the perfect vlog phone
in 2022?
Will you buy it?
Just let me know.
Thanks for watching, please don’t forget to subscribe.
I’m Sami and I will see you in the next one!
