Reporting on the companies, products, and ideas defining the next era of technology.

Honor has officially revealed the design of its next Number-series phones in China: the Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S. All three share one headline feature that Apple and Samsung do not offer on mainstream phones right now — a square secondary display built into the rear camera island.

Pre-orders and deposit listings went live on Honor's China mall and major retailers on November 6, 2026. Official product pages already list colors and memory configurations. A final launch date and sale prices have not been announced yet.

Full hardware specs remain mostly unofficial. Below we separate what Honor has confirmed from tipster-led rumors so you can track the phones without mixing the two.

What Honor has confirmed so far

According to Honor's China product pages and reporting from Gizmochina, Notebookcheck and PhoneArena on November 6, 2026, these points are official:

The lineup has three models — Honor 700, Honor 700 Pro and Honor 700S — and every model includes a rear secondary display inside a wide rectangular camera module. Official renders show a dual-lens camera setup next to that square panel, a flat frame with uniform slim bezels, and a centered hole-punch cutout for the front camera.

All three phones share the same four color names on Honor's store: Cold White, Clear Sky, Blue Tone and Pink Mist. Honor describes the series as a full redesign of its Number lineup focused on performance and everyday experience upgrades. Buyers who purchase during the China campaign are promised 365-day replace-not-repair coverage, plus one-year insurance for both the front screen and the rear screen.

The rear display: what it can do

Honor's reveal posters put the square secondary screen inside the camera plateau rather than as a separate strip on the back. Official marketing stills show it handling a large digital clock, playful 3D animations and a live preview for selfies taken with the rear cameras — so you can frame a shot without flipping the phone.

Exact panel size, resolution and refresh rate have not been confirmed by Honor. Earlier tipster reports (widely repeated by GSMArena and Notebookcheck) put the secondary panel at about 1.72 inches; treat that figure as a rumor until launch day.

Colors and memory configurations

Honor's China deposit pages list memory options that differ by model, as summarized by Gizmochina from the official listings:

Honor 700: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB. Honor 700 Pro: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB and 16GB+512GB. Honor 700S: 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. Notebookcheck notes that official images of the 700 and 700 Pro appear to show three rear cameras, while the 700S shows two — consistent with the S model sitting as the more affordable option.

Rumored specs (not yet official)

Until Honor holds its launch event, treat the following as tipster-led rather than confirmed. Multiple reports citing tipster Digital Chat Station and AnTuTu roundups say the Honor 700 Pro may use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, while the standard Honor 700 may use a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Detailed silicon for the 700S has not been clearly leaked.

Other recurring rumors for the Pro (and often the standard 700) include a roughly 6.57-inch 1.5K flat OLED main display, a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto on the Pro, battery capacity around 9,000mAh, up to 80W wired charging (matching 3C certification reports), and 50W wireless charging on the Pro. Honor has not published any of these figures on the deposit pages.

Price, pre-order and launch timing

Final sale prices are still hidden on Honor's China deposit pages. Some retailer reservations have been running with a small early booking fee of about 9.9 yuan (roughly $1.40). There is no confirmed global or India price yet, and we have not found a live Indian retail listing as of our November 6, 2026 check.

Honor has not named a launch date. Coverage from Gizmochina and Notebookcheck suggests the phones are likely to go fully official later in November 2026 in China. Global availability, if any, usually trails China Number-series launches and may differ in design or specs — as happened with parts of the Honor 600 series.

Should you pre-order now?

A China deposit mainly reserves a place in line; it does not lock a final price or a ship date. If you are outside China, wait for Honor's launch event and any global SKU announcement before spending money. The rear display is the one confirmed differentiator worth watching — how useful the selfie preview and widgets feel day to day will matter more than the rumor sheet.

We will update this article when Honor publishes launch prices, full specs and a firm on-sale date.
