A prolific Weibo tipster dropped Honor\u2019s entire upcoming product pipeline in a single leak session on August 13. The details span five devices across four categories. Two of them carry specs that would be firsts for the brand. The Honor 700, a massive-battery phone likely called the Power 3, a wide foldable, and two gaming phones are all in development. Here\u2019s what the specs reveal about Honor\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n

Honor 700: A 1.7-Inch Rear Display Built for Camera Control<\/p>\n

The Honor 700 is shaping up as a camera-first smartphone with a secondary display on the back. According to Digital Chat Station, the rear screen measures about 1.7 inches. It\u2019s built for camera functionality \u2014 selfie previews using the main sensor, shooting controls, and notifications at a glance.<\/p>\n

\"Honor<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Honor\u2019s first attempt at a rear display. The company launched a magnetic detachable screen accessory for the Honor 600 in May 2026. That accessory let users control the main camera from the back. The Honor 700 bakes that functionality directly into the hardware. No separate accessory needed.<\/p>\n

This targets a real user complaint. Front-facing cameras still produce noticeably worse photos than rear sensors. A rear display showing a live preview while using the 700\u2019s main camera could fix that entirely. Samsung tried something similar with the Galaxy Z Flip\u2019s cover screen viewfinder. Honor is going for the same result without a folding mechanism.<\/p>\n

The Honor 700 is a slim, camera-focused smartphone\u00a0rather than a flagship. That means it won\u2019t compete directly with the Magic 9 series launching September 28. Instead, the 700 slots into Honor\u2019s mid-to-upper range. Camera quality is the selling point here, not raw processing power.<\/p>\n

The Honor 700 series is expected to launch in China between November and December 2026. That gives Honor a clear runway after the Magic 9 flagship window closes.<\/p>\n

The 12,000mAh Battery Phone: Likely the Honor Power 3<\/p>\n

The headline number \u2014 a 12,000mAh battery \u2014 belongs to a different device entirely. Digital Chat Station described a phone in trial production with a rated capacity of 11,790mAh (43.86Wh). This battery will land in the Honor Power 3, not the Honor 700.<\/p>\n

\"Honor<\/p>\n

At 43.86 watt-hours, this pack stores roughly the same energy as some ultrabook laptops. The current Honor Power 2 ships with 8,000mAh. Jumping to 12,000mAh is a 50% capacity increase in one generation.<\/p>\n

The Power 3 pairs that battery with MediaTek\u2019s Dimensity 8600, a 3nm chipset built for efficiency. My Mobile India reported<\/a> a 6.8-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display in the spec sheet. Don\u2019t expect this phone until early 2027 \u2014 the Dimensity 8600 hasn\u2019t been officially announced yet.<\/p>\n

Current battery endurance champions top out around 7,000-8,000mAh. The Energizer P28K packed 28,000mAh in 2019, but it was a brick. Honor\u2019s challenge is fitting 12,000mAh into a phone people actually want to carry. Trial production being underway suggests the engineering works.<\/p>\n

A Wide Foldable With a 200MP Camera and Next-Gen Snapdragon<\/p>\n

The most ambitious device in the leak is a wide foldable \u2014 what most manufacturers call a \u201cbook-style\u201d foldable similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a> series. Digital Chat Station described a phone with a 200MP main camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and a 7,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

\"Honor<\/p>\n

This would represent Honor\u2019s next generation of large foldables. The current Honor Magic V4 competes with Samsung and Google, focusing on thinness and camera quality. This leaked foldable pushes camera specs much higher. At 200MP, it matches flagship-grade imaging that most non-folding phones haven\u2019t reached yet.<\/p>\n

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 detail is particularly notable. This is the same 2nm chipset expected in the Honor Magic 9 series. Putting it in a foldable suggests Honor plans to bring flagship processing to its folding lineup without compromise \u2014 a shift from earlier generations where foldables sometimes used slightly older chips.<\/p>\n

This device is described as being in the \u201cexploration\u201d phase. A realistic timeline would place it in the first half of 2027 at the earliest.<\/p>\n

Two Honor Win Gaming Phones Coming in October<\/p>\n

The leak also mentioned two Honor Win gaming phones arriving in October 2026. Digital Chat Station provided fewer details on these devices. Still, the timing aligns with China\u2019s gaming phone season, when brands like Asus ROG, Redmagic, and iQOO typically refresh their lineups ahead of the holiday shopping period.<\/p>\n

\"Honor<\/p>\n

Honor doesn\u2019t currently have a dedicated gaming phone sub-brand. The Win series would be a new product category for the company. Gaming phones typically prioritize high refresh rate displays (144Hz or above), active cooling systems, and shoulder triggers for mobile gaming.<\/p>\n

What This Leak Tells Us About Honor\u2019s Strategy<\/p>\n

Five product lines in development simultaneously reveal the scale of Honor\u2019s ambitions. The Honor Robot Phone<\/a> launched just days ago on August 12, featuring a motorized gimbal camera that represented yet another product experiment. Adding a rear-display camera phone, an endurance champion, a spec-loaded foldable, and gaming phones to that roster signals a company betting on breadth over focus.<\/p>\n

\"Honor<\/p>\n

Since separating from Huawei in late 2020, Honor has aggressively expanded into every smartphone category \u2014 flagships, foldables, mid-range, budget, and now gaming. The risk is brand dilution. Too\u00a0many product lines can confuse buyers about what Honor actually stands for. The reward is market coverage across every price point and use case in the world\u2019s largest smartphone market.<\/p>\n

Specs Breakdown: Honor 700 vs Power 3 vs Wide Foldable<\/p>\n

The three most detailed devices break down clearly by use case. The Honor 700 centers on a 1.7-inch rear display with a camera-first design, positioned as a slim mid-to-upper-range device launching November-December 2026. The Power 3 prioritizes endurance with its 12,000mAh battery and Dimensity 8600, targeting early 2027. The wide foldable aims for flagship territory with a 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and 7,000mAh battery, though it remains in exploration with no confirmed timeline.<\/p>\n

Each fills a gap in Honor\u2019s current portfolio. The 700 addresses the camera-focused mid-range. The Power 3 targets users who prioritize battery above all else. The wide foldable competes directly against Samsung and Google in the premium folding segment.<\/p>\n

FAQsWhen will the Honor 700 be released?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Honor 700 series is expected to launch in China between November and December 2026. The leak comes from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a tipster with a strong accuracy record on Honor devices.<\/p>\n

Does the Honor 700 have a 12,000mAh battery?\u00a0<\/p>\n

No. The 12,000mAh battery belongs to a separate device, likely the Honor Power 3. The Honor 700 focuses on camera features with a 1.7-inch rear display. The Power 3 is expected in early 2027.<\/p>\n

What processor will the Honor Power 3 use?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Honor Power 3 is tipped to use MediaTek\u2019s Dimensity 8600, a next-generation 3nm chipset. Notebookcheck confirmed this pairing based on supply chain leaks.<\/p>\n

Is Honor making a new foldable phone?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes. Honor is exploring a wide foldable with a 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and 7,000mAh battery. It\u2019s still in the exploration phase with no confirmed launch date.<\/p>\n
