To recap

The Honor 70 is an interesting addition to the selection of mid-range phones out there and while this is a quality handset, the design doesn’t seem to have moved on much from the Honor 50 - or the Huawei P50. Still, there’s promise in the main camera, a quality display and we’re sure the Snapdragon 778G+ will provide plenty of power. We’re still to fully test the Honor 70 to get a feeling for the full performance,
