Next-Gen Honor 700 Series Approaching: Specs, Certifications, and Launch Timeline

Honor is gearing up for the launch of its next sub-flagship smartphone lineup, the Honor 700 series, with new regulatory certifications pointing to an imminent release. Following the appearance of two new models on China’s 3C certification database, industry insiders have confirmed that the brand will maintain its traditional three-tier product strategy, dispelling rumors of a downsized portfolio.

Developed under the internal codename “Flora,” the first two 5G-capable devices to clear the 3C database are believed to be the standard Honor 700 (carrying model number FAS-AN00) and the higher-end Honor 700 Pro (model number FAA-AN00). While the initial certification of only two models sparked public speculation about a streamlined lineup, a prominent tipster quickly clarified that a third variant is currently awaiting certification. The complete three-model series is expected to officially debut next month.

Early leaks suggest the Honor 700 series is poised to deliver aggressive hardware upgrades. The upcoming lineup is rumored to feature a colossal 9,000mAh battery alongside a new 200-megapixel primary camera. The Honor 700 Pro is expected to push optical performance even further, incorporating an enhanced 50-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor that will reportedly support at least 3x optical zoom.

Perhaps the most unconventional rumor surrounding the new devices is the inclusion of an improved “detachable back screen” designed to introduce novel capabilities and form-factor flexibility. While Honor has yet to officially confirm these ambitious specifications, the rapid progression of the series through regulatory channels strongly indicates that a formal unveiling is just weeks away.
