HONOR is getting ready to introduce its new HONOR 700 smartphone family in China. The lineup is scheduled to launch on November 13, 2026, and will include three models: the HONOR 700, HONOR 700 Pro and HONOR 700S.
The biggest talking point is the 9,000mAh battery. HONOR is also bringing a secondary display to the rear of every phone, giving the series a different look and adding new ways to use the camera and other phone features.
A huge battery in a slim body
HONOR has confirmed that every phone in the 700 family will use its 9,000mAh Qinghai Lake battery. The company is focusing on long battery life, which is becoming an important feature for people who spend many hours using their phones for video, gaming, navigation and social media.
The series is listed with support for 80W wired charging and up to 50W wireless charging. Buyers should check the final model-wise specifications at launch because charging features can differ between versions.
HONOR has also said that the phone can remain around 7.96mm thick despite carrying the large battery and rear display. If the final retail models match this claim, it could make the series more interesting than phones that use large batteries but have much thicker bodies.
AI Dynamic Rear Screen is another highlight
The HONOR 700 series will feature a small secondary screen placed inside the rear camera area. The company calls it the AI Dynamic Rear Screen.
This screen is designed to do more than show the time. It can act as a preview screen when users take selfies with the rear cameras. This could help people capture clearer self-portraits because they can use the main camera system instead of relying only on the front camera.
HONOR has also shown themes and interactive elements for the rear screen. The company has mentioned heart-rate and blood-oxygen readings, along with flight reminders. The final software experience and the exact health-related functions will need to be checked after the phones become available.
The design uses a glass finish and a metal frame. The rear display is placed inside a raised camera area, creating a separate visual section on the back of the phone.
Three models are coming
The series will include the standard HONOR 700, the more advanced HONOR 700 Pro and the HONOR 700S. All three are confirmed to use Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, although the full processor details for each model should be checked against the official launch specifications.
Earlier leaks have suggested that the standard model could use a Snapdragon 8s-series chip, while the Pro version may use a higher-end Snapdragon 8-series processor. These model-specific chip details should still be treated as unconfirmed until HONOR publishes the final specification sheets.
The company has also highlighted 4K cinematic Live photo features and a custom shortcut key. These additions suggest that HONOR wants the new phones to offer more than just a large battery.
What about India pricing and availability?
The November 13 event is for the Chinese market. HONOR has not confirmed Indian pricing, an India launch date or local availability for the three models.
There is also no confirmed Indian retail price or official purchase link yet. Buyers should wait for the company to announce regional details instead of relying on currency conversions from Chinese prices.

The HONOR 700 series looks interesting because it combines a very large battery with a secondary rear screen. The 7.96mm body claim is also worth watching because it could make the battery easier to live with.
The final decision will depend on the camera quality, processor performance, software experience and price. The November 13 launch should answer many of these questions.
