While the first technical details about the Honor 700 series continue to emerge, it has been suggested that one of the high-end models of the series may have a second screen on the back. According to new information provided by Digital Chat Station, known for its posts on Weibo, Honor is considering using a 1.72-inch rear screen in the 700 series. Although the exact model name of the device in question has not been shared yet, it is estimated that the features may belong to the Honor 700 Pro. It is stated that there will be a 6.57-inch, flat screen on the front of the phone with a resolution defined as “1.5K”. The frames surrounding the screen are expected to be quite thin and symmetrical on all four sides.
The idea of a small screen on the back is not entirely new in the smartphone market. Xiaomi brought this design approach to the agenda again with the second screen placed in the camera section of the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models it introduced last year. It is stated that the company is preparing to introduce the devices that are the continuation of the models in question this month. If Honor carries a similar solution to the 700 series, the design approach between the two manufacturers may become more clearly closer. However, there are no details yet on how Honor will position the rear screen and for what functions it will be used.
Honor 700 Pro may come with 200 megapixel main camera
Another striking detail about the Honor 700 Pro is seen on the main camera side. According to the new information, which coincides with the previous rumors, a 200 megapixel main camera will be used on the phone. No information has been shared yet about the size of the sensor, lens features, optical image stabilization support or the structure of the auxiliary cameras. Despite this, the 200-megapixel main camera shows that Honor plans to take the device to an ambitious point, especially in terms of high-resolution photography. However, since camera performance is not determined solely by the resolution value, it will be possible to make a more accurate evaluation when other details on the sensor and image processing side are revealed.
The way of using the 1.72-inch screen on the back continues to be one of the most intriguing points of the phone. It is possible to place the screen on the camera bump, as in the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. On the other hand, it is also possible for Honor to choose a different design and place the screen under the camera section or at another point of the back cover. It is not yet known whether the second screen will be used for camera preview, notifications, time information or various quick controls during selfie shots. Therefore, at this stage, only the claim regarding the size of the screen stands out, while the functions on the software side remain unclear.
The 6.57-inch size given for the front panel also indicates that the device may have a relatively more compact body compared to large-screen flagships. The use of symmetrical and very thin frames, as well as the choice of a flat screen, suggests that Honor is aiming for a simpler appearance on the front. In addition, the resolution referred to as “1.5K” refers to the panel class generally positioned between Full HD + and QHD + and can offer a balanced approach between power consumption and image sharpness. However, basic details such as refresh rate, panel technology, brightness level and screen protection have not been shared yet.
Current information about the Honor 700 series is still at the rumor level and has not been confirmed by the company. Despite this, the combination of a 200 megapixel main camera and a 1.72-inch rear screen in the same device may make the Honor 700 Pro the most different model of the series in terms of design. The actual usage value of the rear screen will largely depend on whether Honor will support this panel with functions that are useful in daily use rather than just a visual element. A more comprehensive picture about the model will emerge when the design of the phone, other camera features and the software capabilities of the second screen become clear.
