  • HONOR just announced the X70 phone, set to go on sale on Friday in China.
  • Despite its $165 price tag, the HONOR X70 features a massive 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery and military-grade toughness.
  • At 8.2mm, it’s about the same thickness as the iPhone 16 Pro.

A $165 smartphone wouldn’t usually raise expectations about its specs, but one manufacturer clearly didn’t get that memo. Despite the price tag, the new HONOR X70 boasts an insane 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery along with military-grade toughness, and it isn’t even a brick.

In a new post on Weibo, HONOR confirmed that the X70 is now available for pre-order in China, with a full launch set for July 18. Despite the budget price, the phone boasts a battery that’s more than double the size of the one inside the Galaxy S25 Edge, along with what the company calls the “industry’s first gold standard triple-drop protection.” It also features a new internal structure likened to a bulletproof vest, supposedly making the device resistant to impact on all ten sides.
