Revealed at IFA 2022 this past week, Honor’s new mid-range smartphone targets the vlogging crowd with several interesting features. Chief among them is something Honor refers to as the Solo Cut Mode, which allows users to put the spotlight on a specific individual. The phone also features the ability to record two videos simultaneously (using multiple cameras), with one video focusing on an individual and the other capturing the mood of the entire group.

The camera hardware on the Honor 70 looks impressive for a mid-range device. It consists of a 54MP primary camera and a 50MP secondary camera that doubles up as an ultrawide camera and a macro camera. The front-facing camera gets a 32MP sensor. Powering the Honor 70 is Qualcomm’s fairly powerful mid-range chipset — the Snapdragon 778G Plus 5G. The international variant of the Honor 70 packs a 4800 mAh battery which supports 65W fast charging using Honor’s proprietary charger. The phone runs Honor’s Magic UI 6.1 interface that is based on Android 12. The color options on offer include Midnight Black, Crystal Silver, and Emerald Green.
The Honor 70 goes on sale starting today across Mzansi. It’ll be priced at R749 with 24 months of installments, or at R579 with 36 months of installments at Vodacom.
The device is also available through MTN in the hero color the Crystal Silver and comes with Mega Talk/Gigs XS at a price of R799 with 24 months of installments, or R549 with 36 months of installments.
