Honor 700 Pro: a 1.72-inch rear screen and a 200 MP camera in the works

📌 Updated 3 November 2026 — Expected as early as this month in China, the Honor 700 series has received its 3C certification, confirming three 5G models supplied with an 80 W wired charger: the Honor 700 Vitality Edition, Standard Edition and Pro Edition (FAA-AN00, FAP-AN00, FAS-AN00). All three would share a 200 MP main sensor, a 9,000 mAh battery and four colours (Cool White, Sky Blue, Azure, Pink Mist). The Honor 700 and 700 Pro would house their 1.72-inch rear screen in the camera module (time, weather, messages, music), while the Pro version would add a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens, 50 W wireless charging and reverse charging.

Following the launch of the Magic 9 series last month and the recent unveiling of the performance-focused Honor Win 2 smartphones, the manufacturer is already preparing the upcoming arrival of the next generation of its numbered range. Set to refresh the heart of its accessible high-end line-up, the future Honor 700 family is starting to make waves in Asian industry circles. Now certified in China, the series will indeed include three distinct 5G models — the Honor 700 Vitality Edition, Honor 700 Standard Edition and Honor 700 Pro Edition (model numbers FAA-AN00, FAP-AN00 and FAS-AN00) — with this Pro variant spearheading the line-up.

The first technical leaks from an engineering prototype (codenamed “Flora”) now outline the common foundation of the Honor 700 series while detailing the specific strengths of the Honor 700 Pro. Beyond this certification, which confirms 80 W wired charging (20 V / 4 A), several corroborating leaks detail the bulk of the Honor 700 Pro’s specification sheet. Here is what is in store: a 6.57-inch front with perfectly symmetrical bezels, a triple rear camera module led by a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens on the Pro model, a giant battery of around 9,000 mAh (80 W wired and 50 W wireless charging) and, above all, a 1.72-inch second screen built directly into the back of the device. An ergonomic shift that could well change the way we take photos every day.

A 1.72-inch secondary screen on the back: from accessory to built-in feature

The Honor 700 Pro’s headline innovation undoubtedly lies on its back. According to the leaks, the phone would carry a built-in 1.72-inch secondary screen.

For the brand, this is not a clean-sheet idea. On the previous Honor 600 generation, the manufacturer had already experimented with a rear display through an external magnetic accessory that clipped onto the back of the phone. This small removable unit let you frame your selfies live while using the full power of the main camera block. With the Honor 700 Pro, the experience would take a decisive step forward: the manufacturer would drop the optional accessory and build the panel straight into the back cover.

This approach is part of a strong industry trend seen at other tech giants. Xiaomi brought the concept to a wide audience with the rear display of its 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, before repeating the formula on its Xiaomi 18 Pro series launched at the end of September. If Honor confirms this direction, the Honor 700 Pro would bring the technology to a more competitive price segment.

The exact placement of this 1.72-inch panel on the back of the Honor 700 and 700 Pro is now becoming clearer. The latest leaks indicate that the secondary screen will sit directly within the rear camera module area, ruling out the idea of placing it on the lower part of the back cover. In addition to photo framing, this display built into the camera block would serve several practical everyday functions:

• Essential information and notifications: quick checks of the time and weather, as well as direct reading of incoming messages and alerts.
• Media controls and framing: on-the-fly music playback management and a live preview within a clean, coherent rear camera island.

A flat 6.57-inch 1.5K display: the pursuit of perfect symmetry

On the front, the Honor 700 Pro would favour geometric rigour and ease of handling. The prototype is credited with a completely flat 6.57-inch OLED panel with 1.5K resolution.

This mid-sized format is an ideal compromise: it offers a comfortable viewing area for media while avoiding the bulk of the giant formats that flirt with 6.9 inches. But the real feat lies in the bezels: the panel would show ultra-thin, strictly symmetrical borders on all four sides (an equilateral design). This perfect symmetry removes the thicker border often seen at the bottom (the famous chin), offering total visual immersion from the very first glance.

The choice of a flat screen also answers a pressing everyday demand from users: no more stray reflections on the edges, no more accidental touches under the palm, and a remarkably easy fit for a bubble-free tempered glass protector.

A 200 MP main camera: very high-resolution photography

The other technical pillar of the future Honor 700 Pro is its imaging hardware. The Honor 700 Pro is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup led by a 200-megapixel main sensor (whose exact model and size remain unknown) and backed by a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, underlining the series’ photographic ambitions.

This colossal resolution takes on a whole new dimension when paired with the 1.72-inch rear display:

• Selfies with main-camera quality: by watching the live preview on the rear panel, you can use the large 200 MP sensor for your selfies, vlogs or group shots, even though the front camera retains a creative role thanks to the dual Live Photo mode that engages the front and rear sensors.
• Better light capture: at night or in dim interiors, pixel binning on the 200 MP sensor gathers far more light than a typical small front camera, eliminating digital noise and washed-out tones.
• Cropping and razor-sharp detail: the extra resolution lets you isolate details or crop deep into a shot with no visible loss of sharpness.

Three models retained for the Honor 700 range

The 3C certification now confirms the final line-up around three 5G models — the Honor 700 Vitality Edition, Standard Edition and Pro Edition — each equipped with 80 W wired charging and tipped to feature a 9,000 mAh battery, around 400 mAh more than the Honor 600 Super (8,600 mAh) launched in China.

This clear segmentation will let Honor target three distinct types of buyers: a more accessible Vitality Edition, a balanced Standard Edition model and a resolutely high-tech Pro Edition variant. The latest leaks, however, clarify the outlines of this differentiation: while all three devices would share the 200-megapixel main sensor, the 9,000 mAh battery and four colours (Cool White, Sky Blue, Azure and Pink Mist), only the Honor 700 and 700 Pro would benefit from the flat 6.57-inch 1.5K OLED panel, the 1.72-inch rear screen and compatibility with a 200 mm teleconverter, whereas the 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, as well as 50 W wireless and reverse wireless charging, would remain exclusive to the Honor 700 Pro Edition. Aside from the existence of the three 5G models and their now-certified 80 W wired charging, the rest of these specifications are still awaiting official confirmation from Honor, and we are following the other side of the series in our article on the Honor 700.

Expected Honor 700 Pro specifications

Honor 700 Pro price and availability

Despite the fast-approaching official launch, no pricing has leaked yet. Adding a working rear display and a 200-megapixel camera clearly means extra production costs for the manufacturer.

Even so, Honor’s numbered range has always aimed to stay priced below the flagships of the Magic range. The brand should therefore work hard to keep its pricing in check to compete aggressively with the alternatives on the Chinese market.

Securing 3C certification brings the Honor 700 series closer to its official unveiling, now expected as early as November 2026 in China.

Clearing this key regulatory milestone indicates that the hardware design — including the integration of the rear screen into the camera module — is now locked in ahead of commercial release. Any global versions for the European market should follow at a later stage.

Conclusion

By combining a flat 6.57-inch 1.5K display with symmetrical bezels, a triple camera module with a 200 MP main sensor and a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens, an outsized battery of around 9,000 mAh (80 W / 50 W charging) and a built-in 1.72-inch rear screen, the Honor 700 Pro is shaping up to be one of the most complete and original phones of the end of the year.

We will be following the next technical leaks closely to confirm the final layout of the back, as well as the exact model of its Snapdragon chip and the rest of its internal components.
