The Honor 70 is an attractive phone with good specs for the price, particularly in the camera, processor and design departments - it feels like a premium phone in most ways.

Display
It also has a curved-edge display, something you rarely see in non-premium phones. That gives the phone both another premium element and also makes it comfortable to hold in the hand.

Battery
The Honor 70 is a capable, well-rounded midranger. It has an excellent display, good SoC, dependable screen-on battery life and a camera setup that's above the average for the asking price.
We also want to highlight the device’s impressive battery life. If anything, this is the trait that flags the Honor 70 as a mid-range phone instead of a premium one.

Price
Sadly, the pricing of the device isn't its strongest suit. We remember Honor for its affordable and well-rounded phones, but it seems like pricing became a challenge after splitting up with Huawei. [source: gsmarena]
The Honor 70's price in Europe hovers around the mid-€500. [source: gsmarena]
