Display Comparison
Both phones feature OLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and vibrant colors. However, the Honor 70 boasts a measured peak brightness of 790 nits, significantly brighter than the 60 Pro, making it easier to view in direct sunlight. The Honor 70's 'infinite' contrast ratio is a nominal value, but suggests excellent black levels.
Camera Comparison
Camera performance is a key differentiator. While both phones offer capable camera systems, the Honor 70 is expected to have improved image processing and potentially better low-light performance due to software optimizations. Both likely feature a main sensor around 50MP, an ultrawide lens, and a macro lens. Video recording capabilities are likely similar on both.
Performance
Both devices utilize the Snapdragon 778G+ 5G chipset, ensuring smooth performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. The Honor 70 has a slightly faster Cortex-A55 core clock speed (1.9 GHz vs 1.8 GHz), which *could* translate to marginally better efficiency and responsiveness, though real-world differences are likely minimal. Both phones offer ample RAM and storage for most users.
Battery Life
The Honor 70 claims an endurance rating of 100 hours, suggesting excellent battery life. While the Honor 60 Pro's battery capacity is likely similar, the 70's slightly more efficient processor and software optimizations could contribute to longer usage times. Both phones support 66W fast charging, capable of charging 50-60% in around 20 minutes.
Buying Guide
The Honor 60 Pro is a great choice for users prioritizing a sleek design and fast charging. The Honor 70 is ideal for those who want a brighter display, potentially better camera performance, and a slightly more modern processor, even if the difference is marginal.
